Hey! How are you? The beautiful Chelsea,

I was for many songs, records, moments and situations madly consumed by the love of one woman. I was mentally obsessed with the thought of this one relationship and the idea that it just HAD to work. No matter what, I tried and tried to MAKE IT HAPPEN. I think I have something in my soul that deters me from ever giving up on love. That is all I know. just make it work.. No mater what.

But, after some deep mental thought and alot of patience I finally weened myself off from believing that the relationship HAD to work and started thinking about what I really wanted and needed and was getting out of this love. I decided that it was in my best interest to drop the safety net and throw myself into the world alone. It take awhile to get over the fear of being alone. Once you do you really start to learn who you are, as an individual. What you like and don't like about yourself. You see yourself in a new light, solo. It took some time before I settled into my new skin. It took awhile to learn how to stop looking back and be present in life. But amazingly, the moment I did starting actually living and stopped spinning my wheels looking in the rearview, I saw a lot of possibility within myself.

I opened up more and alot of good came to me. I can't say I never look back or that I don't miss things from the past, but what I can say is that I have never been more excited about the possibilities of the future and the footprint impressions I'm making that will soon show me how far I have come.

I like writing about people. People are what make my life what it is. You can't cook an omelette without the egg.
