don't let it pass you by...







Life is too short to worry about the stupid shit in life: so live like there's no tomorrow, laugh until your stomach hurts, and love with all your heart because life truely is a blessing





Over the years i've learned to cherish life. I've lost 2 grandmothers, a great-grandmother, an uncle, a friend, and now a person that I found to be an amazing, beautiful, strong woman...Mrs. Pignatiello. My friend Katie, has lost her mother and words cannot even express how devastated I would be, and how impressed I am that her family has been so strong through this. God is definitely on their side and they now have an amazing guardian angel looking down on them and beaming with proudness. RIP Momma P!






These are the moments I cherish, the moments I live for:
  • dreams-the ones where my grandmothers visit me :)


  • quality time with my momma-in the car, at home, at the grocery, wherever


  • weekends spent in Cincy with the wonderful Combs family


  • the drive to and from school, radio blasting, singing at the top of my lungs


  • lazy Sundays


  • family dinners-unfortunately these don't happen as much as when grandma was alive :(


  • coffee dates with my friends


  • sitting in my pj's, under a blanket while it snows outside


  • seeing a Christmas tree lit up


  • daddies loving on their little girls


  • seeing people be so positive, even when it seems like nothing is going right


  • moments with friends


  • weeknights where i'm asleep by midnight(it's like heaven!)


  • roadtrips


Life is what we make of it. It can be good, bad, positive, negative, fun, boring, crazy, lame but whichever way you make it, make sure it's the right one for you. It's your life. Do what you want, not what others want you to do or what you think you should do. How could that possibly make you happy?

New Start*



*If they don't come after you when you walk away...then keep walking*




I read this quote today on my friend's facebook and this describes my life perfectly. I recently cut ties with someone that meant a lot to me, but they didn't chase me afterwards. I know this is for the best. Everyone is telling me it's for the best. But if it's for the best then why have I cried over this? Why do I just want to pick up the phone and call them? It has been almost a week since I have spoken to this person and you know what? I FEEL GREAT! I'm more confident then ever and am looking forward instead of looking back. My friends are amazing. My family is amazing. MY LIFE IS AMAZING!!




Today I'm gonna sit in my living room. Christmas tree lit. Blinds open-looking at the beauty nature has given us-SNOW! It's cold out. It's sunny out. It's white out. It's beautiful out. Just like you.
