Quotes to live by

Another great quote found via twitter:

"One of the hardest things in life is to know which bridge to cross and which to let burn."

So true. I know I have a bridge I need to burn but sadly all I want to do is cross it... Ugh.

Epic tweet from one of the UGA football players, I couldn't agree more!

"I'd rather love someone I cant have than have someone I cant love."

They must be doing a feelings workshop today at UGA because here is another player weighing in...

"Somewhere, someone is looking for someone exactly like you. ......"

Quotes to live by

"Love, they tell me. but love doesn’t bring and never has brought happiness. On the contrary, it’s a constant state of anxiety, a battlefield; its sleepless nights, asking ourselves all the time if we’re doing the right thing. Real love is composed with ecstasy and agony."

-Paulo Coelho (The Witch of Portobello)

I had to share this, just as I pushed the post button on my last one - this gem came on:



Full lyrics:

in this proud land we grew up strong
we were wanted all along
I was taught to fight, taught to win
I never thought I could fail

no fight left or so it seems
I am a man whose dreams have all deserted
I've changed my face, I've changed my name
but no one wants you when you lose

don't give up
'cos you have friends
don't give up
you're not beaten yet
don't give up
I know you can make it good

though I saw it all around
never thought I could be affected
thought that we'd be the last to go
it is so strange the way things turn

drove the night toward my home
the place that I was born, on the lakeside
as daylight broke, I saw the earth
the trees had burned down to the ground

don't give up
you still have us
don't give up
we don't need much of anything
don't give up
'cause somewhere there's a place
where we belong

rest your head
you worry too much
it's going to be alright

when times get rough
you can fall back on us
don't give up
please don't give up

'got to walk out of here
I can't take anymore
going to stand on that bridge
keep my eyes down below
whatever may come
and whatever may go
that river's flowing
that river's flowing

moved on to another town
tried hard to settle down
for every job, so many men
so many men no-one needs

don't give up
'cause you have friends
don't give up
you're not the only one
don't give up
no reason to be ashamed
don't give up
you still have us
don't give up now
we're proud of who you are
don't give up
you know it's never been easy
don't give up
'cause I believe there's the a place
there's a place where we belong

Lyrics from Metro Lyrics

I know, long time no see...

I haven't really been writing lately...

Mainly because I have allowed John back into my life a little. Don't you hate when you know you are doing something wrong but at the same time can't say no? Thankfully I think I have been sorting through it and will be able to let go in the next month. Just isn't worth it for me. I don't need to be putting all of my energy into something (even if it is subconscious) that really isn't going to give me the returns that I want.

In other news:
I am feeling great. Running my first 10k on the 4th and not sure if I will make it the whole way but I had a fantastic run at the gym last night and I am feeling hopefully. I think sometimes most of it is mental so I am just going to try and push myself.

Thankfully I have finally been slimming down, even my dad mentioned I was getting my old shape back and he was proud of me. That felt good because he is really weird about weight stuff. Even John complimented me the last couple of times I have seen him. More in those 2 times than in the whole 4-5 months we were hanging out. Really puts that into perspective, right?

Anyway, going to a fun concert tonight with all the ladies but other than that, I am just ready to meet some new people. S and I are going to be looking into some events in the area, singles night at the museum, etc. I have met a couple of guys in the last couple of months, but nothing that excites me. Time to branch out!

Hope everyone is having a fantastic summer!

xoxo,

K

Good Quote

One of my friends put this as her status today and I couldn't think it is more true...

“The sudden disappointment of a hope leaves a scar which the ultimate fulfillment of that hope never entirely removes.”

It makes you realize that even if after a heartbreak you get back together with that person, you probably won't be able to get past the first one...

Seriously...

I love to make the wrong choice apparently...
