About me, huh? This could take a while. It’s currently mid-afternoon on a very lazy Sunday and I haven’t showered or brushed my teeth so my perception of myself would be a lot nicer if I was in a fancy dress with pumps and lip gloss on. Though, if you know me at all, a fancy dress, pumps and lip gloss wouldn’t make me comfortable–only visually more attractive. I have a horrible self-body image, though when it comes to appreciating my brain I’ll be the first to brag.
I’ve got a good heart–not only does it beat on a regular basis I offer a lot of it to anyone I love. I lack the ability to refrain from speaking up in a crowd, though it is a trait that has gotten me noticed in more ways than one that have either lead complete strangers to love, respect, admire or have utter disdain for me. I like being different, but only in an easy to swallow kind of way. I’m not afraid to be who I am and I’m equally unafraid to tell you that I haven’t entirely figured out who that person is and if I do that within the next 60 years than I will have taken just the right amount of time to do so.
I have an amazing husband, a person who I have consistently been proud to associate as being his “wife” for near two and a half years. I think that the secret to a happy and healthy relationship isn’t really a secret, it’s just really simple. Be who you are when you have to be. Give what you can when you can. Be totally present. It won’t always be a balance. It won’t always be cake and flowers but it will be genuine. Genuine is real and real is messy and messy is what makes it great. Hug for real. Say you are sorry and mean it. Appreciate like tomorrow will never come. And most of all, best of all, and most to be remembered: remember that everything is a journey and the journey is wonderful, scary, hilarious, exhausting and insane.
It’s like great sex too late at night when you thought you weren’t in the mood and you have ten other things you still have to do before you do it all over again tomorrow: you end up thrilled, tingly, tired, completely fulfilled and next to, under or on top your soul mate…now that’s a journey I’d like to take everyday.
And I do.
I won’t be censored here. I won’t be critical of what I say or how I say it. These are random tales from a random girl who may or may not have something interesting to say on any given day.
Consider yourself warned. And privileged I let you in.
