So as I cried in the shower this morning I thought “I need to read Sayward’s posts about her divorce and how the hell she dug out after that” no lie, I literally thought that. I’ve never been technically divorced but had some big life changes/break up’s and after the latest disappointment I just feel… I feel all the feels and don’t know what to do with them. I have this and a few more posts open from around this time in the blog, and I just want you to know that 4 years later, you are still touching people BECAUSE you are authentic. I cannot than you enough. But I will say again, thank you, thank you, thank you. It’s kinda bad ass to contrast this post with what you just posted :-) THANK YOU.

[...] But looking back through my most recent WIAW posts, I realized that they’ve become less reflective of my normal, actual life. Which was a conscious decision that I made, now that I think about it, because a few months back I felt like they were getting a little monotonous. So I started saving “picture days” for when something special was going on. And that was nice, because it gave me an opportunity to share some of the exciting bits and pieces of my life with all of you. But it’s also not painting the entire picture – and we all know how I feel about that. [...]
