"I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together."
— Marilyn Monroe
Marilyn Monroe was right. Everything happens for a reason. She was right about a lot of things in her day... yeah, she wasn't quite perfect herself, but no one is. She sort of summed up how my life has been going recently with that thought though.
Maybe that'll be a tattoo I get someday. Tiny text on the top of my foot or swirly script on my ribs, who knows. Maybe even itty bitty block print on the back of my neck, or a nice feminine font across my back, or in the space between the smiley face near my elbow and the word Lovely on my wrist...
First I've got to get the one for my mother though. I'll probably get it when I come back from Seattle. Three little birds; one blue, one green, one pink... found someone to do it and everything. Great quality, really good price.
Anyways, I ended up posting this blog because I found this quote, and I found this quote because a friend... a really fabulous, amazing, sweet, smart, fantastic, gorgeous, intelligent, caring friend... helped me reconnect with a former friend that I wish had never left my life, especially under as sketchy of circumstances as the falling out was.
It's something I've considered a lot over the two years since I last spoke to her... and I realized that there wasn't much I could have done because who I am isn't who I was back then, and who I was back then...
It had to happen that way. I wonder sometimes, though, what it would have been like if I hadn't... we hadn't...
Right, anyways, before I end up all teary and emotional, lets move on. I'm going to be heading up to Seattle... as mentioned... to visit a few schools and see my father.
My fear of heights is why I'm not currently asleep.
My dislike of seeing my father is why I'm... well, just not to thrilled with the whole fiasco, in all honesty.
Things will be okay, though. And I'll be back on... Monday, I think. Or Wednesday. My parental units haven't actually told me yet. I think it's part of a plot to keep me on my toes and unable to flee...
I have to wake up in just about five hours to help my mum around the house, so I should go... well, I should at least hop over to my Mixtape blog and post yesterdays, todays and... wait, shit.
Monday's, tuesdays and todays. UGH. I can't believe I fell behind.
So that's it.
XO
