Quote Of The Day

Marriage/relationships are not what everyone thinks it is. It's not waking up early every morning to make breakfast and eat together. It's not cuddling in bed together until both of you peacefully fall asleep. It's not a clean home and a homemade meal every day. It's someone who steals the covers and elbows you in the face. It's a few harsh words, fights and the silent treatment, it's wondering if you've made the right decision. It is, despite all of those things, the one thing you look forward to every day. It's coming home to the same person everyday that you know loves and cares about you. It's laughing about the one time you accidentally did something stupid. It's about eating the cheapest and easiest meal you can make and sitting down together at 10pm to eat because you both had a crazy day. It's when you have an emotional breakdown and they hold you and tell you everything is going to be okay, and you believe them. It's about still loving someone even though they make you absolutely insane. It's not perfect and it's hard, but it's amazing and comforting and the best thing you'll ever experience." ~ Troy via Just-Korey

And as Ben and I prepare to simultaneously celebrate ten years together and our five-year wedding anniversary in 2018, I wouldn't have it any other way.

Art Imitates Life

But America, too, can take issue with a woman of power. It finds ways of cutting her down. Of punishing her for her daring to be. And our girl, after a while, even she forgot there's a queen inside. And there is no end to the cruelty of men threatened by strong women." ~ Mr. Nancy, American Gods Season 1 Episode 8

My Idols are Dead and My Enemies are in Power: 2016, a Summary

Death has soaked this year to the bone,
leaving me wide-eyed,
shivering, wet.

Enough. Enough,
I beg with my palms,

but this year was a hyena,
killing for joy rather than
need.

It took my starman, it took my space princess,
it took my American dream

and just when I was beginning to feel
there was nothing left in me to take

Carrie Fisher took my heart
out to the stars somewhere
far, far away

leaving the rest of my body on Earth,
wide-eyed, shivering,
wet.

Preach, Sister!

I think what's beautiful and hard and interesting about cancer is that it tears you down and builds you, and tears you down and builds you. It remakes you so many different times. The person I thought I was supposed to be or was going to be or who I thought I was six months ago is now somebody completely different." ~ Shannen Doherty

This is so true.
