Nurse Char

Lol girls in my office gave me a serving spoon with my cake. Hopu birthday aiby!

I fell off the wagon for my year of pictures. But I got a new phone with an awesome camera so I hope this helps!

I remember we were driving driving in your car
The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped ‘round my shoulder
And I had a feeling that I belonged
And I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone

<3 check yes for all, my bubs is most definitely amazing.

I previously blogged about this before, but I think what I contemplated was why I was becoming shy. Shy may not have been an accurate adjective. In retrospect, reserved seems more fitting. I’m usually very vocal about what I want, what I like and what I dislike. But nowadays, I stay quiet if I don’t feel like talking, if i’m sad, if i’m upset or if i’m irritated. I know I tend to keep a lot in, but with that in mind I do say what I need to if I care about the relationship.. but from my own experiences in life, i’ll say what I don’t like once and if things don’t change then I won’t bring it up again. It’s not because it doesn’t aggravate me. It does. But you can’t make a person change, but you can definitely change yourself. Why continue with arguments over the same thing if there’s no progression. Instead, change your expectations and whatever else you need to, to accept reality. I refuse to beat the dead horse. I’d rather quietly help dig it’s grave and bury it.

I guess i am tired.

It’s been about a year since I made the list, and I figured it was time to revisit it..
