Dahlia Birthday Flowers






Today is my birthday. Some girls from my church brought me a card and some flowers. The flowers were dying. They bought them yesterday and told me that they looked beautiful when they bought them but they "died" over night. They didn't look that bad. But I replaced them with my dahlias because NO flower can beat them :) Plus they're on their way out anyways what with all this frost and rain. So I took some pictures with the vase and the bow. I really like the vase. Perfect addition to my collection of home decor!

Dear Sam

Did you know
sometimes I wish I could leave my life and start over. Something like the witness protection program. Leave all the baggage and people I know (good and bad) and just restart.

That's what I want to do right now. Just walk away from every single thing that is even remotely connected to my life right now and just begin again. Everything. The people I love, the people I hate, the people I have crushes on and the things I enjoy and the things I hate and the sights and smells and feelings. I want my mind wiped clean, my emotional chalkboard cleanly erased, no powdery white residue left behind: FRESH. Not worry about all the things I have to make sense of. The people that I love and the people that I hate. I'd love to be more organized with my emotions and the things that I think and feel. I wish my mind was more black and white. I wish that I could control the way I feel about people. I wish that I could trust other human beings. I wish I didn't care what other people thought of me and I wish that I could love unconditionally and not over analyze every microparticle of every experience that ever happened to me.


I want to like all aspects of myself and I want others to let me know what they think. I want others to be truthful and I want to be truthful as well. I want to use the word "I" less and say more "You"s and "They"s and "We"s. I want to be stable. I want to be consistent. I want to be reliable and dependable and trustworthy and honest. I want to be someone people enjoy being around; someone to look forward to being around. I want to be happy.
