Even If It Breaks Your Heart

Constantly, I am thinking about my future. The question of "What are you going to do" "What do you want to be" is playing on repeat inside of my head. 

Over and over I question my strengths, my talents, the things that really make me happy. 

When it comes down to it, do you really need to have a "title" to have really made it in life. 

Do you need to be known as a manager or a CEO in order to feel important?

In the life that I've imagined I have always been happy. I have always lived for myself and done exactly what makes me smile the most. 

I love smiling, it's my favorite. 

So when I sit down and really try to figure out what I want to do... why is it so difficult?

Why can't I put my finger on it?

I think it's because what I want to do doesn't exist. 

There is not  a specific title or profession that I fit exactly into.

...and this is where it gets exciting...

Let me introduce myself.

I'm Sabrina. 

Approaching my mid twenties.

Writer, reader, photographer. 

Northwest is my home but my heart longs to travel.

Everywhere and anywhere is where I want to go. 

I feel like life gets better and better every year. 

No matter how many heart aches.

No matter how many doubts. 

My dreams are coming together.

No, they aren't totally solid... in fact they are sort of like puzzle pieces at the moment. 

In time, it will all come together and I'll be able to glue it and hang it up on my wall. 

Because that's what cool people do... so I'm told. 

Until that time comes I am going to enjoy where I'm at. 

Enjoy the life I've been granted. 

Smile

Work hard

Save money

Love with everything I have. 

What do I have to lose? 

 Until that time comes...

Keep on dreamin' even if it breaks your heart. 

Keep it comin

At times like this all you can do is laugh at your situation. I'm going to be completely honest, here we go:

For the past month or so things have been totally uncomfortable with my roommate and I. Said roommate and I have known each other since the 4th grade, but that obviously means nothing. Literally nothing.

A phrase that kept coming up: "It's my life." Yeah I get that... but when your life decisions effect me... it's my life, too.

So Today... as in right now. I am on the hunt for an apartment or a roommate. Unfortunately that friendship has been broken, trust, respect and care have been long gone for quite some time. It's difficult to say what will come next. But for me. Doors have opened.

*You may think. "Wow Sabrina, it is just one shit storm after another." And you may be right. But honestly....there is TOO much good in my life to actually worry about this. Not to sound like a total bitch-face, but really....

This is my bitch-face

And constant support from friends and family helps. 

So much love.

OH! And I want to thank ALL of you from the bottom of my lil' heart for all of your sweet comments yesterday. You have NO idea how much it means to me. You had great advice, funny stories, and things that made me want to cry for days! But really I love you so much more than you will ever know!

Thanks a million my loves!

Put A Bow On It

(Sweater- Gap, Necklace- Gift, Skirt, Bracelet, Rings- F21, Shoes- Dolce Vita, Watch-Fossil)

I love the feeling of a perfect fit. Whether it be your toes sliding into platform pumps, lyrics that speak to your life, fingers making their way into five others or tightly wrapped arms. There is just something there that makes that moment unforgettable. Whether it's ten minutes or ten years before you feel that way again... you know it was made for you. It's like someone wrapped it up, put a big bow on it and is just waiting for you to rip it apart. 

But instead of tearing into this wonderful gift... cherish what it's made of. The look, the feel, what's behind it and how long it will last. Sometimes the shelf life is instantaneous, others last a life time.

Now I know what you're thinking...

"Stop being all coy, and tell us what you are actually talking about!"

Here it is, straight up.

I am in love....with these new SHOES!

Yeah, I'm serious. They are perfect. They make me 19 feet tall and they have a pretty bow in the back. I am going to wear them to the gym, just because. I need to break them in for Austin (Who am I kidding? I don't do anything at the gym). 

So there you have it. If you want to make something beautiful put a bow on it. It works every time...

just like Put a Bird on it.
