30DBC: Day 1♥

Here I am! Just a small town girl, living in a lonely world. Oh wait... wrong theme song. {grin} I used to know exactly who this girl is, but I have recently lost bits and pieces of her. I'm doing my best to put myself back together, and yet I can't say that there is much I would change about how I got here. I believe everything happens for a reason, and all the scars I carry with me now, inward and outward, have all been strategically placed with careful consideration and purpose. I don't always know the reasons at the time, but that's ok. So, that being said, lets move on to the 15 facts about me!

1. My children are my reason for breathing.

2. I really do consider my dogs to be my children.

3. Sometimes, my temper gets the best of me.

4. I am a Christian who is still finding my way to Christ. While I have accepted Him as my Savior, many things have tried to get me off track, and questions and doubt still arise at times.

5. Over the last year, I have gotten myself into better physical shape, and yet it doesn't help me now with the massive blow my self-esteem has taken.

6. Tattoos are an artistic expression and a release for me.

7. I jam out to my music while I run. I'm talkin' hands raised, drumming, air guitar... all of the above.

8. My mom is my best friend. Our relationship in my youth wasn't the best, but I thank God for her everyday. She is a huge source of my strength.

9. When I am feeling weak, I kneel in prayer.

10. I used to pride myself in my tough outer skin, which has been ripped away, leaving me vulnerable. But I am learning to embrace these new emotions I refused to let myself feel before.

11. There is something very purifying about writing that helps me purge all the ick I hold onto.

12. Once I learn someones name, I will probably remember it forever.

13. This year, I began going back to school for Criminal Justice.

14. I already know what my major New Years resolution will be.

15. I can be selfish and intolerable, but I'm ok with that.

That's all folks! Are you challenging yourself?

♥ Me.
