10 years ago

If you told me 10 years ago that this is the type of bullshit I have to consistently put up with, I would've never in my life believed you. You would've had to have taken the soul out of me to believe it.


10 years later...it's taking the soul out of me to believe it and deal with it.

ancora imparo.

"i believe in simplicity. i believe in feelings and family, friendship and fidelity, forgiveness and fortitude. i believe in motherhood and make believe. i believe in concocting and consuming colorful cocktails and fussing over and feasting on fabulous food. i believe in living out loud. i believe in laughing until your face hurts and loving until your heart breaks. i believe in behaving boldly when warranted, badly, taking bubble baths and being barefoot. i believe in poetry, puppies and playing in the park. i believed in scheduled working on weekdays and sleeping in on the weekends. i believe in dancing in the rain and digging in the dirt.. i believe in honest expression and the golden rule. i believe in nature and naps and that naivete is sometimes necessary. i believe in goodness and gratitude and grace. i believe in unity and the power of the universe. i believe in being authentically awesome. i believe in being better today than yesterday but not as good as tomorrow. i believe in challenges and change and growing pains. i believe in the inherent worth of every creature on this planet. i believe in honoring the individual journeys and paths of people whether i understand them or not. i believe in letting people live their truth and trusting that it's right for them. i believe in lifting up and letting go. i believe that death is just as sacred an experience as birth and that is is never, ever an end. mostly, i just believe that i'm never going to stop learning that is it i believe. ancora imparo."
