VULNERABILITY.

 it's so exhausting to always come from a place of strength, isnt it? To always know what to say, to always know when to stand up and how to stand up. To have the perfect words in a situation. It's something I struggle with. In our fast and dangerous world, I always feel a need to protect myself. And Im always in an attack mode and it truly costs me. Weeks and months go by and i start to feel I have hardened into this stone of a person who doesnt know how to just be as I am. Always being strong and tough hurts me. Sometimes I just want to be weak, I want to be fragile and broken. I want my heart to crack open and feel. I forget this all the time. And its days like this when a voice tells me...I just want to be vulnerable. Like a neglected child beckoning for attention. Like that 6 yr old self that wants someone to look at them and notice what they need. Let my heart open, flood, and feel.

 MONDAYS!!! Mondays really are the worst. They are the slowest and exruciating start to a hellish week. My Monday was just awful today because of one particular person.

You have to watch everything you say, be profesional even when someone is harassing you. Its just not fair.

The trip FROM HELL!!! This past weekend my family and I decided to take an impromptu trip to Atlanta, Georgia. Now, I love reading and looking at pictures of travel and people's adventures on social media. It's soooo inspiring and makes me want to live those sorts of experiences. So we naively booked a hotel in Atlanta and immediately started fantasizing about all the cozy cafes we'd eat in, beautiful parks we would hit up and any other adventurey types of things you see on the internet. Getting there was a HUGE hassle. We drove for almost 7 hours, hitting traffic in the middle for a really long time. It was excruciating...to sit there without inching for an hour. OH. GOD. the last time I saw a bottle neck like that was when i lived in New York. Upon reaching Georgia, it was truly the trip from hell we were not anticipating. The hotel we booked was overflowing with guests coming in and out. And...there was no parking left. So we had to park a block away and across the stree
