Love is the ability and willingness to allow those that you care for to be what they choose for themselves without any insistence that they satisfy you.

Love the Powders, the Mountains, and Good Friends Beside Me
This last week, I've been feeling really tired. Unfortunately, to remedy this, I've been a true homebody. It's been nice to take some time and stay home and relax, but I hope all this resting will make me feel invigorated by next week. I have a couple more ski passes to use up, and I'm looking forward to all the powders we've been getting. I'm loving the snow and the mountains.
When summer rolls around and all the snow are gone, Rod and I will be hitting some trails in the canyons. I'm excited about all the hiking we'll be doing.
We're lucky to have the mountains in our backyards. It's where I find peace and perspective, when I'm out in the beauty of nature.
Nothing’s better than the wind to your back, the sun in front of you, and your friends beside you. - Aaron Douglas Trimble

If relationship is a flower, it needs consistent and continuous tending. And it takes both of you working together to help the plant grow.

Her Story
Her Story
She's not the friend that is seeking a grad degree.
She's not the friend that is settling down and having a baby.
She's not the friend that is talented in crafts and knitting, and all things domestic.
She's the friend that is tired from working a long day everyday, and then tries to balance her life by finding time to relax and meet up with her closest friends. She's one that will only dance if she's in the mood. She's the friend that appreciate the outdoors more than she leads on. She's also the small female at work that will spit fire if you get her mad, and doesn't mind a little attention from male co-workers as long as it's not crossing the line. She's the one that is seeking to get away from life at home because she gets bored with the mundane and tedious tasks. She's the friend that is infatuated with the idea of passionate love, and someday seeing the world with the man of her dreams. She's the friend that wants to make those around her feel appreciated and loved. And sometime she's the friend that over-analyze and worry herself to death.
Yet she is still perplex trying to figure out the exact words to describe her story and her role in this world. What a bothersome that the story is not obvious and easily told.

Done Making Up Excuses
Many of us know someone or have experienced loving someone that is not as committed to being in the relationship, and then we make up excuses to fit our fantasy of what we really want the relationship to be. We let ourselves stay in one that make us feel insecure, but we keep lying to ourselves because we want so badly for it to work out.
For example, it seems like the last couple of years, I've been making up excuses for my "it's complicated, it's not really a relationship but it's not just a friendship" kind of relationship. I keep holding on, and telling myself that patience would bring to fruition the type of committed relationship I wanted. Don't get me wrong, he's a really great guy, all my family and some of my friends could see why I like him so much. Although some friends thought he could treat me better.
But I was afraid my friends were right, afraid that the truth was he's probably not that into me and isn't in love with me like I've been with him. If it's meant to be, it would have been right? And if it's meant to be, then it will happen for us right?
So I'm done making up excuses. I'm done creating in my mind the relationship that should be. I'm learning to listen to my heart and for the time being, I'm letting myself accept it as it is and not worry any more, because in the end, everything will work out for the best.
I have to admit, the optimist and hopelessly romantic in me know that I'll be with someone that won't make me wonder if he feels the same way about me, someone that will want me as much as I want him, someone that will make me feel secure in our relationship. I don't think that's too much to ask for.

Hello (waving to you)
I'm starting a new blog. This will be a place for me to write about my life, passion, happiness, and adventures. A place to document my thoughts of this life journey.
It is a new blog - a fresh start. Because currently I feel like my life is going to go through some significant changes, as though a progression is in motion and there are going to be some great things happening in the next year and the year after. It may be my own feelings of premonition, but I'm very excited about this new year and what it will bring.
I'd like to share this quote for the holiday:
"Love is an irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired."
- Robert Frost
