*Bleeping* Scary

Reminders like this fucking scare me!  I would ask you to excuse my language, but it seriously scares me, and only strong language can express just how much it scares me!

I do not want their inner voice to be me yelling at them or telling them that they are bad.  Since they are forced to listen to me in their head I would rather them hear me telling them that whatever they can dream, they can create. I would want to tell them that life is full of struggle, but every second will be well worth it because you will come out stronger.  I want them to hear me telling them to be courageous.  I want them to hear us laughing and enjoying life.

Kids - life is far too short to not be happy - find what makes you happy and struggle on it, it's worth it! 

Can't Resist a Good Laugh

Nothing kills the mood of a {good} fight like an unexpected and uncontrollable laugh.

We were driving in the car, not-so-peacefully giving each other the silent treatment and refusing eye contact, when the audio from above came on the radio.  

I sat in the passenger seat with my face turned to the window trying to make it so he couldn’t see me smiling.  At one point I started holding my breath to keep myself from laugh out loud, heaven forbid I break our silence first!  So instead I decided it made more sense to looked like I was having a mini seizure.  So stupid! 

Eventually we both cracked and started laughing; both of us have a childish and immature sense of humor and neither of us can resist a good laugh.  However, we still refused to laugh with each other.  So stupid!

Later that day, when we were friends again, we found it on YouTube and watched it 4 more times and laughed so hard we cried!  We know… so stupid! 

Sharing Secrets

Have you seen this! It’s amazing.  People (anonymously) pouring out their secrets for the world to read. 

Some of them are heart wrenching, some are silly, some are confusing, and some don’t seem like secrets at all, but speaking them out loud allows us to connect on a human level.  Even though they are anonymous, it is still incredibly courageous and vulnerable to write down your secret and share it with the world.
