Thoughts and Prayers..

My thoughts and prayers go out to all those across the nation and world who have lost loved ones due to these tragedies.  I'm not a parent, and I have no idea how scary it must be to hear that there was a shooting at the school your children attend.  But, I know how I feel about the children in the school district I work for, and how I feel about my little brothers, sisters, and my neice and nephew.  I love them so much and can not imagine the hurt of having them torn away from you in that fashion.  I can't read the news updates because I have the most gut wrenching feeling over come me when I do.  Tears instantly fill my eyes, and I am scared for what has happened to the world.  Those poor innocent children.  I know how panicked i was just to get a call saying I need to pick my brother up from school because he was sick, but i can't imagine the feeling I'd have had if it was his kindergarten class that was attacked. 

 

I love my family.

 

 

 

I pray that we keep those families who lost loved ones in our thoughts and prayers.

They need the comfort.

But, the poor children who were in that school and lived need our prayers as well.

It kills me to imagine how scared they must have been.

Destined

Destined.

To remain in the friend zone.

 :)

 

I'm pretty positive that I rock the friend zone like no body's business.

 

I have struggled with this for a while.

I wasn't sure why I get shoved in this corner..

 

So today I went digging.

I read a blog and got these things

 

Don't be a pushover

Learn to Flirt

Embrace Femininity

Be Patient in the Pursuit

Don't be Afraid of Rejection

 

How frustrating are all of those things?!

I feel like I do them.

 

 

I stand up for myself.

I flirt, a lot.

I'm a girl who enjoys being a girl

I try my hardest to be patient (could use work)

And I realize that if they reject me, it's their loss.

 

But yet, the friend zone is where I sit.

 

In high school I was sure I'd be one of the first in my group of friends to tie the knot.

I'm definitely the last as of this weekend.

Some have kids, are going on third anniversaries... and I'm like "hey, i get the whole bed to myself"

 

Despite all of these, I'm grateful for the challenge.

 

I'm learning to love myself.  I need to work on this a lot. 

But I'm grateful this was placed before me.
