30-Something, Flirty, and Thriving - You can't make this stuff up

Me writing this to “you” is probably more for me than it is for you. At this point, I don’t even know if you will ever read it.  Most of my friends and family hated that I was with you, some even quit having much to do with me, because of me sticking around so long. Maybe this will give them insight into my “why”.   Although I’ve had my heart broken many times, I always try to live for the moment, not for the past. I might give more chances to people than they deserve, but that’s just who I am, I see the good in people even when they can’t see it in themselves.  You came into my life when I wasn’t looking, and we were both hurt. We both needed something, but neither of us knew what that something was. We had the best time, laughing and joking and making each other smile.  The first time I met you we sat in the living room talking and laughing most of the night. One of our very first dates was even to Chuck E Cheese, “where a kid can be a kid”. Things were so good between us.  

I'm usually a pretty transparent person most of the time (no such thing as TMI with me), so I’d like to share my next BIG LIFE CHAPTER! Not to mention I am getting excited as the time gets closer and closer. I’d say I’m just a normal small town girl. If you know me at all you know that I am fairly (to say the least )  confident in my  self. That hasn’t always been the case though!  There was a time when I was younger (mainly middle school years) when I was made fun of regularly. I cared what people thought about me. (You know what’s funny? I look at the ones who made fun of me so many years ago and see where they are now and laugh, one word, Karma   😂 ) I’ve been big, fat, fluffy, chunky, plump (whatever you prefer to call it lol  ) the majority of my life, but that has never stopped me from doing exactly what I’ve wanted to do! Updated to add that I have no clue why some of the text above is so small, I have tried to fix it but it's not working lol. Ar

DISCLAIMER: Does Contain a few swear words<----Still Classy though lol ;) If my life was a book, I think the title would be “You Can’t Make This Shit Up” .  Valentine's Day is almost here and let me tell you, pretty much every year I dread it.  Seriously the last time I let my self get excited for Valentine's Day was in the 7th Grade. I had a boyfriend (I know exciting right).  I used my own money to buy him a very special gift, something with UNC (because that was his favorite team).  I just knew he was going to get me something equally as cool. Well Valentines Day comes around and I get a $1 box of chocolates. Now, 33 year old me says, "It's the thought that counts--Blah Blah". BUT 7th grade me was super disappointed (and wanted my gift back-haha).  I learned that year, just don't expect anything and you won't be disappointed the next time.....(Look at me learning life lessons at an early age....right??) So on that note...comment below for t
