Thinky thoughts and working through some stuff

So here we go...

Sexuality, Church, and Hypocrisy
I started to have a conversation last night about churches that accept the LGBTQ community for who they are without trying to change them, after I kind of just outed myself as bi. (I usually hate labels, but sometimes the labels are just the easiest way to explain things, so that's the label I go with.) I explained that my church (that I love and ( Read more... ) -
Happily Ever After and all the Junk (or being grateful for what I have)
I've been binge watching Once Upon a Time, trying to get all caught up before the new season starts next month. Pair that with a playlist I made for inspiring shippy, romantic fan fics, a long couple of weeks and a green apple Smirnoff Ice and you end up with blog posts like this one...

Five years ago, I made one seemingly small decision that changed my life forever. That sounds so melodramatic, and at the time it didn't seem like it would be such a big deal, but as it turns out it was. To talk about the change, I have to talk about everything that lead up to it.

I've dreaded this day...I had hoped it wouldn't ever come
Yesterday, as I was peed and spit up on twice, and again today as I changed my 800 millionth diaper I was struck with a very scary realization - I'm burned out and need a change of profession ( Read more... ) -
And here I thought I was past this...
I've been doing really well lately. Like, really, really well. School is going great and I'm one class away from graduation. The kids and I have settled into a routine. I'm not pushing for more time (yet) and have learned to appreciate every single second I have with them. And I've learned that it doesn't necessarily mean filling our time together ( Read more... ) -
Dating
J and I met spring semester of 2001. We shared a music stand in concert band, chatted on Yahoo messenger and eventually he convinced me to give him a chance. So we dated. Like actual honest-to-goodness dates - going to the grocery store and buying food to take back to my apartment and cook together, going to the movies, taking walks on campus. We ( Read more... )
