Love with Challenges

Jeff and I aren't perfect. We'll be the first people to admit that. We bicker, but we make up for everything by how we care about each other. Everyday is a challenge, and we accept that. Love isn't a cake walk, it's a challenge to show the world that there is someone out there that can drive you crazy, make you mad, and be your other half all at the same time, despite differences that exist between two people.

I love Jeff, and I know he loves me. He doesn't need to say it, but I know he does. I know I'm a grouchy, mean-spirited girl, but he brings out the side of me that I keep hidden. Its the side when I cry, laugh, and cuddle, and I never want to leave his side, it makes me so happy to know that I found the love of my life, and he's perfect to me, despite all the little pet peeves about him, I wouldn't want him any other way.

That's how love should be. I challenge everyone in the world to find a love like that, where its not who has given up more for the other, its about the time you spend together, and how you feel around them.

Love is about the feeling you're consumed with when you see them. That is love, when you can't imagine life without them.

What Hurts The Most

I'm a young mom, as you know. And I was talking to another young mom friend I have named Ashley. She is experiencing the same anger and frustrations I am having. Our babies were born a few months apart, and right now we're both mad.

We're mad that no one calls or messages just to check up. Hey, hello? Yeah, hi. WE'RE STILL PEOPLE HERE WE JUST HAVE KIDS!! I am so ready to scream at everyone and just freak out because with all the hints and shit, NO ONE CALLS! I try to be nice, and I try to hold it in.

Oh? You say YOU"RE busy? You were never busy before! I am so angry with all the people who used to talk to me, because you all don't even seem to care, do you even think about me? I helped you so much in the past and when I need some help, NO ONE IS THERE (except Jeff, but he doesn't count because he hasn't abandoned me and Hazel!)

I reach out. I try to grab your attention, and I get nothing. Soon, I WILL clean out my friends list. I have tried, but you don't even seem to consider me human.

So, if you actually do care, prove it. Just prove it, I don't care if you have to walk up to my front door and tell me you're sorry, I want some proof.

If you don't, go ahead and remove me, I have tried.

Thank you for your consideration,

Something Great and Something Wonderful

Today, I woke up, ate some cookies and actually got dressed.

I put on a fitted t-shirt, and a white fashion hoodie, and my smooth black jeans. I also brushed my hair, and put on some light make up, mostly around my eyes and lips, with no foundation. And I felt beautiful. I still do. I feel wonderful.

We took Hazel out to her doctor's appointment, yes I went outside! And I liked it, despite it being below zero.

Hazel went to her grandpa's for a while and when Jeff and I got home, we were hugging and talking. I looked down at my stomach as he unzipped my coat, and said, "I'm fat." and smacked my baby belly fat.

He pulled off my coat, and said, "No you are not, you are much more beautiful than when i met you, you look healthy, not anarexic. I like you this way. I love you this way."

And it made me feel so much happier and I felt like some of my sadness was going away.

So...my challenge for you: FIND SOMETHING YOU LIKE ABOUT YOURSELF AND TRY TO TAKE CARE OF IT, AND LET THAT PART OF TAKING CARE OF YOURSELF SPREAD INTO THE REST OF YOUR LIFE AND BODY! WE OWE IT TO OURSELVES TO DO THIS. YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE SKINNY TO BE BEAUTIFUL!
