I feel very conflicted today and I don’t like it one bit.
The hardest part about breakups is time. The time it takes to heal and make good, rational decisions again. I’ve never been one to think that time flies. It never has for me. I am usually not hoping for the days to go by faster, but during a breakup they really seem to drag.
Here’s to hoping that I feel better soon.
This is not the end. I’m an optimist. I know everything will...

Poetry
Growing up, I hated poetry. I dreaded “poetry projects” and picked out poems quickly, with no regard for content.
One year I chose only poems about the sky—mainly stars, because it was the first thing I could think of. I remember enjoying two.
As a Senior in High School poems were given to us to analyze. Each poem was read with dread. I cared little about the message. It...
Always for the First Time (Andre Breton) Always for the first time Hardly do I know you by sight You return at some hour of the night to a house at an angle to my window A wholly imaginary house It is there that from one second to the next In the inviolate darkness I anticipate once more the fascinating rift occurring The one and only rift In the facade and in my heart The closer I come to you In...

You know those movies where the bride is walking down the aisle and right before she says “I do” her true love races in screaming “No! I love you. I’ve always loved you!”
That’s not romantic.
If someone arrived on my wedding day to confess their love for me and that was enough for me to leave? Then we are both idiots. I don’t want to be with a man who waits until the last minute to tell me he is...
The thing about having a public blog is that sometimes I can’t just write. Everything is censored. Lines deleted for being too personal. Word choice changed to not offend.
A teenage crush led to my first journal. It’s filled with notes about him. The crush developed into a relationship and then the relationship soured but the writing remained. Journals now span the course of ten...

Day 22--Your Academics
Oh dear. What a day for this one!
I am in law school. I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t strive for academic excellence. Right now I spend almost every waking hour studying. In fact I just returned from an almost 14 hour day and that will be normal for the next month.
Academics have always been important to me. I remember my mom taking away my homework in kindergarten and making me go play. Even...

Take 2--Day 21: How you hope your future will be...
Now, seriously, I’ll answer the prompt. I’d like to start by saying that I hope my future is grammatically correct. I cannot specify what is wrong with “how you hope your future will be like” but I know it is wrong. And on the off chance it is not, it certainly sounds wrong. I’d prefer: Your hopes for the future or What you hope to find in your future.
I hope to be...

Day 21: How you hope your future will be like
Kiley: We have to tumble today.
Me: Yes! What is the prompt?
:: Kiley looking it up ::
Me: I really want to watch my vampire show tonight.
Kiley: what show?
Me: True Blood. It’s really violent and sexual. It’s kind of like soft core porn.
Kiley: It’s how you hope your future will be.
Kiley: ::wide-eyed:: the prompt! that’s the prompt!
I’m dying.

Day 20--Your Fears
I’ve always considered myself fearless. A bold statement, I know. The thing is there really is not anything that I regularly fear. Sure I get scared but there is nothing that is a constant fear.
I have had fears at certain times in my life. When I was younger I was incredibly shy and that caused me lots of fear and anxiety. But I grew out of it. For a while I was scared of being lonely....

Day 19--Five Items You Lust After
1. A really cute briefcase style leather purse, tan.
2. A gold and white watch.
3. A house. (Does that even count as an “item”? I’m pretty sure “items” are personal property not real.)
4. Gold stacking rings.
5. A new dress. I would love for my closet to filled exclusively with dresses.

Day 18--A Problem That You Have Had
The other day I realized that I am almost always late. I make it on time to class but other than that I am behind about five to ten minutes. Not acceptable. It bothered me that I was helping to perpetuate the “Mexicans are always late” stereotype. At that moment I resolved to not be late again. That was two weeks ago and I’ve done it—I have not been late. Not only have I...

Day 17--Something that you're proud of
I am proud of myself for a variety of reasons but my first thoughts are of how proud I am of my friends and family.
I am proud of my friends and their awesome grades our first semester of law school.
I am proud of my family for staying strong despite the huge blows we have faced in the last six months.
I am proud of my little cousins who are working hard at school and have college...

Day 16--Something you always think "what if..."...
What if I had gone to law school right out of college. I would be practicing law right now. Would I be the same person? Would I have decided that I was going about life all wrong and shaped up?
What if I still lived in DC? WHAT IF I STILL LIVED IN DC!!?!?!?!?!?! *deepbreath*
What if I chose the bigger apartment further from school? Would I bitching about the walk instead of the space or would...

Day 15--Your Zodiac/Horoscope and if you think it...
For the most part I think my Zodiac sign is right on about me. The only thing that consistently baffles me is the idea that I am good with math and money. Nope. Well, I am good with my expenses but count me out when it comes to figuring out math of any kind no matter how small.
Otherwise I am described as confident, strong willed and calm, fair and demanding. Surprisingly witty. An insatiable...
