Guess what Thursday calls for?
Uhhhhhhh, a ginormous oatmeal round-up and some GIRL TALK.
I’ve been meaning to share some personal “news” with you for a couple of months now and I guess there’s no better day to do it than today. I’m quitting the blog.
Psych.
I’m single.
While I know that I don’t owe it to anyone to share my personal life on FFF, I feel like I owe it to myself to share it with you. FFF is suppose to be a place to inspire you to be the best version of yourself. The best version of YOU or ME doesn’t come with just the good. It takes difficult times in life to really make you who you are and this breakup is one of them. After 3.5 years, Blake and I parted ways in May and it wasn’t an easy thing for either of us to do. Sometimes when you’re running a thousand miles and hour and flying by the seat of your pants, you let that little word called relationship slip away. Sometimes two people who were once so in love can grow in different directions and not even realize they’re drifting until life happens. I don’t and will never regret a single moment from our relationship because I truly believe that every single person comes into your life for a reason, for better or for worse.
I remember when we had just broken up, I felt like I was dying inside and that nothing would ever make me sparkle again. My amazing friends and family kept repeating one thing to me- TIMEEEEE. My response at the time was- FUCK YOU TIME IS BULLSHIT. Seriously though, they were right. Time is my friend and I am happy. While I spared you a lot of details, I wanted to let you know that I am doing great. Heartbreak isn’t easy. It sucks, but life is good. I am loving every single second of my new and singular life. I’ve got my own apartment and no one to worry about but my plants (which I kill on a weekly basis). I’m drinking boat loads of coffee, exploring Minnesota’s beautiful state parks, going to bed early, taking naps, laughing, and having a LOT of girl time.
Before we shift the mood to OATMEAL…Just remember, social media can make any person’s life see admirable and PERFECT and I know that I am guilty of abusing it in that way.
PS: It’s National Oatmeal Day and I didn’t even know it. #winningatlife
