I don't have words for what happened last night. It makes me sick. We were at a different theater. But still. It was so close. It was so easy.

Why do these things happen? Well, I don't know and I don't know if I ever will. The first thing I thought of when I heard the news was that they were just trying to make the movie come to life. Not going to lie. I was a little disturbed by the movie itself. The darkness of Bane. There were moments I stared at the bestby like, did he really just do that? Who could think of that? Yes, it was a good movie. The photography/what do you call it in a movie? was beautiful, the music perfect for every scene. The theme of never giving up and strength from within shown through the whole thing. But I'm probably never going to watch the movie again. Because I'll always think of those people, and the sick sick feeling in my stomach. And wonder if violence in movies had some effect.

This is all so scary. But I'm alive. Still breathing. It's hard to let fear go sometimes. Have to get rid of it though and replace it with hope. Yes, there is darkness in this world. Lots of it. But there's also beauty. Faith. Love. Hope.

My thoughts and prayers are with the victims of the Aurora shooting.

  1. The situation in Colorado breaks my heart! It is so incredibly sad and just reminds me that we truly never know what will happen in our life and that it is so important to be happy NOW! I don't blame you at all for never wanting to watch the movie again. It would be hard to with such awful emotions and memories connected to it! Thoughts and prayers to the people of Aurora!

Fake

I feel like a lot of times when going through blogger, I'm always pushing the boundaries a bit. A lot of blogs seem to always be happy and awesome and they just won this free product from someone and it's great! And then, I'm over here in my little corner of the blogosphere wondering, hey, should I actually write about this? Is this something that you just pretend like it never happens? Am I the only one this happens to? My favorite moments are when I find someone cutting down those walls and sharing what life is actually like. That they have zits. That they don't have the perfect relationship and baby. That they've struggled with mental health. That they're secretly gross like me. (I took a quiz on buzz feed about how secretly gross are you, and I got pretty gross. In the guise of not being fake, I am sharing this fact with you all!) When I find those blog posts, I instantly feel a connection with that person and will automatically follow them on their life j...

Liebster-ing it up!

Funny story. A few days ago I was reading all the blogs I follow like I usually do. And of course I read  Jana's  blog and read about how she had won the Liebster award. I had no idea what it was, so I read her post full of fun facts, and for everyone I kept nodding my head going, I DO THAT TOO! Then today I re-read her blog, and realized that she'd nominated me for the Liebster award as well! It was a very exciting moment. Thank you! So I guess this is how it works, I think, I'm new to this whole thing. I totally just stole this off Jana's blog ;) "The Liebster Blog Award is given to bloggers by bloggers. It is a way to acknowledge each other and say 'you're doing a great job.' It is for blogs with 200 or less followers, so it's also a great way to spread the word about smaller blogs & get them more readers/ followers! When you receive the award, you post 11 random facts about yourself and answer 11 questions from the person who nominated y...

Say Yes?

Well. Today I went dress shopping. And it was a really fun experience! I went a few weeks ago, and that wasn't as fun. I almost fainted because everything was so tight! And I looked like a little girl playing dress up. This time though, I felt sophisticated, it was a much better experience, and I may have found THE dress. I know it's one of these ones, but at the store I thought I was going to get one dress. But as I got home and looked through the pictures again, I think another one will work better and is really THE one. I'm going to sit on it though.  I thought it'd be fun to put the pictures up here and let you all see! Tell me which dress is your favorite! If there's two pictures together, it's the front and back.  How was dress shopping for you?  I like the lace and buttons on this dress     Love the top and flowyness of this dress. Really love the neck, top, and ruching on this dress. Not sure about the train though. This...
