We pulled ugly green frog skin of heterosexual conformity over us, and that's how we got through school with a full set of teeth. We know how to live through their eyes. We can always play their games, but are we denying ourselves by doing this? If you're going to carry the skin of conformity over you, you are going to suppress the beautiful prince or princess within you.

when his phone lights up with names of men

men with first names and no last names

I know it's the men he's hooking up with

men that don't matter to him

because when people matter to him, he puts their last name in his phone

One initial for acquaintances.  The full last name for friends.

and it's moments like this, moments when I see these names 

"Matt" 

"Tom"

"Kevin" 

flash across his phone 

that I wonder to myself why I ever thought it would be a good idea 

to be friends with my ex.

Technology has made it easy to fall for someone who never actually existed and that's why we have so many random three-month relationships. People who come roaring through our life, only to disappe...

We’re so conditioned to make everything mean something that we can’t just accept things as they come along or that we might not have all the information yet. This is why we freak out when they don’t text back or everything doesn’t line up the way we thought they would. When you’re looking for failure, you’re going to find it. You’ll find a reason not to call or to throw away something that’s perfectly good, just because the surface didn’t look exactly the way you thought it would.

Weekend Recap

1.  The boy I met in Palm Springs and have been in a flirtationship for the past week and a half told me on Friday that he's been in a relationship for 6 years. But, "It's ok because we've cheated on each other before"

2.  I then proceed to run into his friends at a bbq the next day.

3.  I started the insanity work out this morning.  It's intense.

Just got off the phone with my mom and dad who were giving me a little update and my dad ends the conversation with, "So that's the T".

Speechless.

I am now realizing that the Lydia you all are talking about is not the real housewife, but the Teen Wolf character....That makes much more sense-
