It's the way she looks at me.

You all want to know why I love Leah? It's the way she looks at me.. It's that simple people. She looks at me with this weird comforting sparkle in her eyes. No matter how big of an ass I am being, the sparkle never goes away. Every minute of every day I feel how much she loves me. She has a kind heart and a beautiful smile. She is comforting to me. No matter how rough my day was it always gets better when she is around. She is patient with me and respects me, always. She is strong-willed and has a brain.(that she uses on a regular basis) She has hopes, dreams, and goals. She always wants more from life. We value the same things in this lifetime. She makes me laugh when I am crying. When I am breaking down she makes me feel sane. I have a million reasons why I love her.. but most of all I love her because of the way she looks at me.

That was quite sappy. I hope you all are happy now. ;)


Anyways lets get back to me. I'm pretty cool too. hahahahahaha


So next topic... (this one is for Kelsey) Craigslist dating?


Has anyone tried this?  It seems odd, but I am not saying I have never looked into it. I tried this once and gained a pretty good friend at the time who stuck with me in an awkward transition in my life. I feel that it is also possible to find many creeps on there too. Kelsey mentioned on FB about a Craigslist posting about a strange fetish guy. I don't know if I would feel completely safe in dating someone I met on there. I am sure the website is full of many normal people but, with my luck, I would be the one who found the real odd ball. This seems slightly scary to me. What do you all think?

Next in line... THE HOLIDAYS!


What are your thoughts? Thanksgiving is right around the corner... Then everyone's favorite holiday (except me) Christmas is soon to follow. I am already quite sick of hearing about them. I dread this time of year. It makes me angry, anxious, and irritated. I definitely think that these two major holidays need to hurry up and go away.  My holiday cheer is definitely slim pickin's.

That's all for now. I will be taking suggestions on Facebook for my next post!

Yours truly,

Do you ever wonder?

Has anyone ever thought of what it would be like to be somebody else? To have different family? Or to find out that you were even switched at birth? Adopted? I think that it is quite normal for people to sometimes feel that they don't belong within their surroundings. I wish I could say the same thing about my life or family but I have a pretty clear idea about the blood family that I belong to. It seems that I was the puzzle piece that completed my immediate family and I have no doubt that the extended family is also of blood.

What does blood even mean these days though? Maybe this could mean the world to some, but to me blood is questionable. I have felt abandoned for so long that blood is quite a touchy subject yet seems nearly insignificant to my life.

I have found that some of my closest family are not of any blood relationship to me. These family members can sometimes be the most accepting people that I have ever met. They are people who show no bias and are not quick to judge or to tell me how to live my life. They are people who open up their homes, hearts, and minds to situations that I have found myself stuck in. They have been welcoming and helpful throughout some of the stickiest situations that I have found myself in.

So maybe in a sense over the course of my life, I was "adopted."

ADOPTED BY FRIENDS WHO BECAME BROTHERS AND SISTERS.

Family to me will always be more than blood relation. Family is a sense of belonging and connection that happens between groups of people.

Has anyone else shared an experience like this? Or is blood all that you know?

Would love to hear your thoughts!

Yours truly,
Dyke in real life.
