"I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you learn to let go, things go wrong so you can appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust noone but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together."

-Marilyn Monroe

This was one of the best moments of my life. I am sure that we can all look back and remember people who made such a big HUGE influence that they actually CHANGED our lives. For me, it was Michelle Wood (left). She came into my life when I was 17 and offered me an existence all to myself. Something that wasn’t already created for me, something I could take and have and make my own. I met her for 2 hours (if that), spoke to her over a period of 3 weeks and then with no expectations of ever meeting her again, happened to bump into her 8 years later thanks to fashion designer Julie Wheat (right). Even though the original opportunity (modeling forrealsies with the support of Ford Modeling Agency) just having the chance to be so close to that dream gave me confidence to chase others. For that, I owe her so many of my yesterdays.

I'm cheesing through tears.

I'm amazed! To be honest, I'm ashamed that I did not first think that these words were written from the heart and not copy and pasted to express some truth that someone else had realized. I'm COMPLETELY victim of doing that all of the time. I lack the cleverness and creativity to write on my own instead of drowning my emotion in the song lyrics someone else wrote.

Which is why I'm amazed and so impressed! These words drew emotion out of me from so many memories of days gone by. To be honest, I'm not sure which is my favorite line. And I can usually peg that without thinking of it. It's a tie, def between the last and the third.

Wow:

I deleted your number...
...and took your photos off my wall. 

I think its safe to say we are not friends anymore.

Im going to try my best to not say your name anymore, I want you to do the same.
...I still love you even though history proves you suck.

I swore in front of my Grammy today. "gd" was the extent of it. Two letters. Nothing more. She was furious. I could feel her tone on the back of my neck. I was proud of myself at first, displaying my confidence in who I am before the only person whose judgement still reigns over my self. i think it was just an attempt to hide the disgust that crept up slowly but surely. Tomorrow, I will call and apologize.
