Nanny Life Won’t Be The Same Without You;

As I sit down to write this letter to you I can’t help but cry and think about how much I miss you. It’s been awhile since I’ve seen you and I want to say, I’m sorry. I’m sorry that it was so hard for me to be able to come home to be with [...]

Dear Addict;

I know you. I know who you are. I may not know your name. But I KNOW you. I AM you. I’d like to tell you a few things. First, let me say that I know at no point in your life that you choose to be the way you are. I know you didn’t [...]

Dear Andy,

I miss you. I know that's what everyone says at a time like this, but I don't know what else to say. When I say, "I miss you," I mean I miss everything about you. I miss your hearty laugh, especially when we would laugh for 10 minutes straight about something that only you and [...]

One Day;

You really do get over it on a random day Sometimes, some things don’t happen the way you think they will. There’s no grand moment, no fireworks in your chest, no sudden burst of clarity. You just wake up one day, maybe on a Tuesday morning or a Saturday afternoon, and something feels … different. Not [...]

To The One Who Screwed Up

We've all been there, and it's not a fun place to be It’s the feeling in the pit of your stomach. It's the quickening of your breath. It's the feeling of your heart dropping in your stomach and like you're going to pass out. Maybe you even start to shake or sweat. It's the moment [...]

It’s My First Time Too

The changes we undergo are the beginnings of many firsts. I doubt anyone remembers their first steps, the way you struggled with each step. You probably fell, time and time again, and eventually you learned how to walk, your feet steady, and your first time became somewhat cherished — by your parents, your family, and [...]

LIFE IS ABOUT CHOICES.

Life is a matter of choices, and every choice you make makes you. 》 John C. Maxwell《 Honestly, I have come to love this quote in so many ways because, for me, it’s empowering to know that the choices I make will determine the outcome of my reality. There have been a few bad decisions [...]
