I think what makes love so scary is knowing that if you were to lose the one you love, you would lose a part of yourself with them.

Sweet summer nights.

Woke up before the sun this morning, then watched it rise over the ocean.

And a beautiful sunrise on the beach. #beautiful #nofilter (at Wrightsville Dunes)

I’ve never felt the luxury of what it is to truly be naive. I know too much and I learned too much at a young age. And because of that I fear that I will eternally have a chip in my shoulder.

sunday=the laziest of days.

I really think there’s something to be said for treating others the way you want to be treated. You may not get the instant gratification you want, but in the long run, the quality of a person you’ll be will out-weigh the negative people you’ve encounter along the journey.

Recently realized how painfully awkward I am when being flirted with/trying to flirt. How have I made it this far in life without these basic social skills? 

I am such a home schooled student right now……

My mom is going to lose her job on Friday. She’s worked my whole life to support our family, sacrificing the one thing she really wanted to do, which was to be a stay at home mom. Now that all her kids are grown she finally was working a job she actually loved. A few months after receiving a promotion she got news that her company was being bought by a bigger cooperation. In the last six months I’ve watched her as she came home from work nervous, stressed and anxious. Her company gave the final word that her branch will be closing on March 31st, cuts will be starting on Friday. My mom doesn’t deserve this. I sent her a fruit basket, but a fruit basket so does not feel like it’s cutting it for 25+ years of sacrifice. I love my mom so much.
