Being Human

Being a human being is so tough. Navigating relationships, trying to be kind, trying to be a better person. I wake up every day trying and hoping to be a better person but I feel I fall short more often than not. Every time people hear some part of my life story, I get a "you're so strong" and I get so uncomfortable because I don't think I am at all. You know how people say tough situations and things that happen in life shouldn't consume you and you should rise above it and think positive and hope for better days yada yada. I am not one of those people. I will admittedly say that I am one of those people who has let life experiences consume me and I am not quite sure how to get out of that hole. I have a lot of trepidation, not a lot of hope and a (un)healthy dose of skepticism. What's so strong about that?

Friday Randoms

Can you believe it's friday already? First off, I want to thank each and every one of you for your comments on my last post. It was one of those days and I honestly didn't know when I just picked up the computer and wrote. Once again thank you so much, I really appreciated it. I have never been to Disney World. I really want to, so it's on my list of things to do. I absolutely LOVED Nice Anon's most recent post. She seems like someone with an awesome personality and I absolutely applaud her. So I wonder, these women on Dancing with the Stars, do they ever have their period? or at the very least, do none of them have heavy flow?
