Waking Up... How did I get here

Have you ever woken up one morning, looked around in the haze the morning brings and not recognized your life. I don't mean waking up and not recognizing the house you are in, a la walk of shame (We have all been there...), I mean not recognizing your life at that moment... Then, this is the blog for you. Welcome.


Last I want to remember was a 26 year old with her whole life ahead of her, her dreams within grasp, a body she didn't mind walking around the house in her undies with, who wasnt afraid to love, to laugh or to live.

I sit here, typing this as a 28year old, whose dreams were gone in a second, only can pass a mirror by looking at the ground and has a broken heart that she keeps trying to mend, but the trying isnt working...

Things are about to change, my friends. No longer am I willing to let life pass me by,  Be unwilling to let love into my life. No longer will I walk by a mirror in disgust. No longer will I hide inside of my house because my ex love decided to by a house down the street from me.

There is too much out there to miss!!! I have made mistakes, we all have, but today is the time to forgive ourselves, to forgive those who have hurt us and give ourselves the gift of living our lives

My inspiration comes from hearing this song by One Republic :

Woke up in London yesterday
Found myself in the city near Piccadilly
Don't really know how I got here
I got some pictures on my phone
New names and numbers that I don't know
Address to places like Abbey Road
Day turns to night, night turns to whatever we want
We're young enough to say

Oh this has gotta be a good life
This has gotta be a good life
This could really be a good life, good life
Say oh, got this feeling that you can't fight
Like this city is on fire 'night
This could really be a good life
A good, good life

To my friends in New York, I say hello
My friends in L.A. they don't know
Where I've been for the past few years or so
Paris to China to Col-or-ado
Sometimes there's airplanes I can' t jump out
Sometimes there's bullshit that don't work now
We are god of stories but please tell me-e-e-e
What there is to complain about

When you're happy like a fool
Let it take you over
When everything is out
You gotta take it in

I hope this has insipired you, like it has me. Life is too beautiful to waste :)
