All you need is love

Jon Lennon, smart man. Life is normal- or about as normal as it could be. I'm a body piercer, and for the first time in a long time I feel like I'm really good at something. And I love doing it. And I get paid for it!

This weekend I celebrated my 20th birthday. I wish I could remember the whole thing. Haha, but I do know that everybody had a good time and nothing bad happened. And a special somebody reminded me that we control our destiny. Ultimately, we are in control of where we live, what we do, who we are with, and how we conduct ourselves. So basically, I can and should do what I want to, and everyone else has that same right to decide for themselves.

Clayton is my motivation. He changed my life for the better. He worked long, hard hours to provide through my apprenticeship, he takes care of me when I'm sick, he pushed me to do so much good for myself, and loved me in the meantime. Words won't really do.

But I do have something to say to anybody who has ever tried to come between us. You can't stop love. It's all we need, and it's completely pure, and we have plenty of it. =)

the pursuit of happiness

These last couple of months, and especially since I took that 2 week vacation at the end of October, my life has completely made a turn. And it has been absolutely eye-opening. It's really breaking, mostly financially, to get away from some things.. especially the things that come so quickly and easily. It's difficult to remove yourself from that situation altogether.

I just knew I wasn't happy. All the money, adoration, or acceptant attitude from friends wasn't going to change that. But I was tough. Then, I began to fall in love and as my tough heart began to melt, it was beautiful, and I changed. I couldn't stomach it anymore. And the evident eventual realization set in. This wasn't getting me anywhere, and it was about time I made the decision to put in some hard work toward something worthwhile.

The things people say under their breath, to other people, or post on some anonymous forum don't affect me, because it's true. Put a title on me if it pleases you, but understand that part of my past is completely irrelevant to my life now, or any part of my future. Open to new things, and new possibilities, I am bound for a better, happier, more fulfilling life. And I couldn't ask for more.

someone got me.
