Leave of Absence

I do.

…heart.
Have you ever had something on the tip of your tongue. You know you know it, but for some strange reason you’re unable to retrieve it?
Well that’s where I’m at right now, but the feeling is on the tip of my heart. I have this hazy image to go along with it. It’s hard to describe but I know I’ve seen it somewhere and I know whatever that is, its whats...
Religion
My faith has been at odds lately. I believe in God, in just about everything the Bible says. I do have some issues with a few things that I need to work out. What I have the most trouble with is finding role models, and bringing myself to speak to them. I know many people that preach the Word but very few that actually live it.
There has to be consistency.
I’m well aware that nobody is...
To my fellow cowards
I had a deep rooted hatred for players. Although I’ve never been cheated on, I know quite a few men that do it and I know plenty of women who deal with it. Some of the women just got up and left. They didn’t say a word, just removed themselves from the situation and moved on. Others got out of the relationship but had to physically, verbally, and/or emotionally fight. And then there...
Late Night Talks
With just a few reminders, it all came back to me. I went through every smile, tear, argument, and accomplishment we had. I felt a few things I hadn’t in quite some time. And after a few intimate conversations with myself I came to terms with situation…again.
I won’t say much because there really isn’t enough time or space to explain everything in detail. However, I will...
Grind
Definitely pushing myself a lot harder this semester, in all aspects. I hope that by the end of this semester I have a few opportunities ahead of me and some achievements under my belt.
I’m excited to see where I’ll be in a few months. I won’t say anything until everything is official and confirmed but it’s going to be great. Until then I’ll just attempt to stay...

Mood Swings
Damn mother nature is out to ruin the life of every woman on this planet. Things just don’t get better for us. Yesterday I spent the afternoon fighting back tears and I couldn’t even come up with a logical reason for why I was so upset. Once I started thinking of possibilities it just got worse. But within a few hours I was good as new and today I’m practically giddy. In a couple...
I got bored at McDonald's.. →
24hrs doesn't cut it.
I’m always running out of time for things. I just wrote down every assignment due by the end of this week and I had to take a walk. Yep a walk, otherwise I would have just broken down right there and then. Maybe I’ve taken on too much and things are finally catching on to me. Or I need to start learning to say no to people. Everyone is fighting for a piece of my time, and while I love...

Salsa
The power of music is astonishing. If there is one thing that could lift my spirits immediately it’s a good salsa. And even more so than that, dancing it with my father.
If I’m lucky enough to still have my father with me on my wedding day I think dancing with him will probably be the best part of the entire night. Aside from vowing to spend the rest of my life with the man of my...
I have to stop asking for permission.
That moment when you finish a book, look around, and realize that everyone is just carrying on with their lives as though you didn’t just experience emotional trauma at the hands of a paperback.
Care Free...yea right.
For some time now I’ve had a desire to be reckless. To go against everything I’ve been raised to believe. I’m expected to behave a certain way, because I’ve been taught to do so and because it’s the right thing to do. But if the people who are requiring this of me are far from perfect why should I meet their expectations?
Recently I’ve convinced myself that...
