The lies we tell ourselves...

The worst lies are the lies we tell ourselves. We live in denial of what we do, even what we think. We do this because we're afraid. We fear we will not find love, and when we find it we fear we'll lose it. We fear that if we do not have love we will be unhappy. - Bach

We are so focused on finding that "happily ever after," but does it really exist?

I hate to be a "Debbie downer," but I don't think it does.

Nothing in life is perfect. There are trials and tribulations along the way.

I feel strongly that God puts those bumps and forks in the road to make us stronger...to make us stop and think...make tough decisions...and learn from the mistakes we make.

I would love to experience a "happily ever after" ending, but for now, I am focusing my energy to enjoy the present and the "almost perfect" in my life.

If you find love, don't fear it, accept it, enjoy it and be open to it.

I've learned you can't run away from anything good that happens in your life simply because you've experienced a lot of bad in the past.

Not all things are connected.

Not everything will have the same result.

Be honest with yourself about what you want in your life.

Be open to love.

The "Happily Ever After" mumbo-jumbo is a total joke! Glad you can see that. Even at 28 years old I still struggle with that. I want so much for our life to be a fairy tale and for Chad and I do always have that in-love feeling and to have the perfect family with a cute little house with the white picket fence. It doesn't exist. We have what we have and THAT, my friend, IS perfect!!
