Two Is Better Than One

Life is scary and messy.

You were thrown into this world, forced to make the most of it, without any warning or any guide.

If only there was a rule book, oh how much easier things would be.


But I think sometimes people have it wrong.

Life is so scary, but not living scares me even more.
And I believe there can be beautiful kinds of messes.

People apologize for being a mess and not having it all together but, there's always good kinds of messes all around. Messy lipstick from sloppy kisses, messy hair from careless fingers running through that hair you can't help resist smelling and playing with, messy laughs from awkward moments made with special people, messy hearts from complicated lives.

 People always find a way to get tangled up with one another and it is always messy, but it is so very beautiful. 

 Since when did being a mess become a bad thing?

Because to me, it's proof that you're out making the most of your life.

Sure it's not going to be perfect, and you're going to stumble and make mistakes from time to time, but that shouldn't scare you or stop you from getting back out there.

One day you might wake up feeling like there is nothing stopping you and you feel like you can go out and conquer the world. The next day you might only feel like laying in bed blasting your favorite tunes, trying to forget about everything.



People are always going to be a part of your life.

Some are meant to help you get to the next stepping stone, while others are meant to help you go a little further.

And if you're lucky, like really lucky, you'll find someone who thinks your mess is the most beautiful thing in the whole entire world. Never let that person go.

You'll find that person who will understand you might need a day to just let it all go.

You'll find that person who will put your mind at ease, when the only thing running through it is thoughts about everything that could go wrong.

Because even when things seem to be going wrong and there seems to be no way things could get better, all you need is one reason to keep going.

And that person will give you that reason every time, I promise.


So when people walk into your life, grab their hand and go. They might just end up leading you on the most beautiful path you've ever known.

And if they happen to let go, don't worry. Bigger and better things are in store for you.

It can be scary ending up in a place you never thought you would be alone at, but look around and realize that it's beautiful; the journey it took to get there, the place you ended up, yourself. It's all beautiful.

Eventually someone will notice that beauty and come along to grab your hand once more and help make your way through life again.

Because while we all have the strength to make it through by ourselves, it's usually more fun and less scary with someone by your side.

Lessons Learned

18 years. 216 months. 936 weeks. 6750 days. 157680 hours. 9460800 minutes. 567648000 seconds. Life has a funny way of getting away from you really quickly. One minute you're 5 running around a farm chasing barn cats and feeding the goats, and the next minute you're crying over boys and getting ready to pack up everything and move away to college. But the thing I've come to realize is that life didn't change, you  changed. You might fall down, but you need to learn how to stand back up, brush it off, and never let the same thing knock you over twice. 1. People are temporary; So are feelings. It's a part of life. One of the hardest things I've had to learn how to deal with is how to say goodbye to people I didn't want to let go of, and hello to people I was skeptical about letting in. I didn't want to say goodbye because I was happy and content, and even if I wasn't all the time, it's still what I was used to, a...

When It's Real

I've never been okay with myself. I've never liked what I've seen in the mirror. I've never accepted my body. I've always wondered what it feels like to be skinny, and thin, and wake up in the morning with cute pj's and messy hair, that 'just woke up look' and still have someone think I'm attractive. To have guys look at me and want to be my boyfriend, and have girls jealous of me as I walk past. I wonder what it feels like to feel my hipbones and collarbones, to feel confident in a bikini, to sit down and not feel fat everywhere, or rub out the thighs of all of my pants. I wonder what it's like to look in the mirror and like what I see. I spent most of my time running away from love because I was afraid they wouldn't like what's underneath. But the reason I did this, is because I had no idea what love actually was. I thought love was about red roses and expensive dinners. I thought when two people loved each other, they woul...

Why It Makes It So Hard

Anxiety is the beginning stages of relationships. You struggle normally because you always seem to ruin something before it begins. It's staying up at night and tossing and turning because you wonder how someone feels. It's questioning if this is really something or if it is all in your head. Anxiety is being excited about a date but thinking they're going to cancel last minute. It's staring at your phone waiting for it to happen. It's every past relationship on repeat and hoping this one doesn't end the same way. It's an ending that emotionally destroys you. It's trying to handle it with grace and dignity but at the same time, you're in tears wondering when things changed, and where you went wrong. Anxiety tells you, "no, it's not that they were the wrong person, it's that you're flawed and not good enough." And you look at yourself, fixating on things you wish you could change because that's probably why it...
