Made it another year

Yesterday was my 24th birthday! 

I had a pretty calming day. I took pictures all day, chilled outside and went to my man's family reunion. This was probably the first birthday in a while that I wasn't sick or feeling sick and it was quite nice. 

Here are some of my favourite pictures from today....

Poor Shadow was pooped from all the kiddos

Finally but not least, my man and I being silly. 

little things

Even after some days, that seem like I'm never going to get through, end.  It's really about the small things. I've believed that all along; ever since I was a child. It's much better simpler; less cluttered (physically and mentally). I want that freedom to explore, create, BREATHE,  and take in the beauty around me. 

Sure I know on this blog I rant about my health, it's crappy, but it is what it is. I have the freedom to let it out. Better here than it floating in my mind or wearing out a loved one. (especially ones who already understand how you feel and are there no matter what) But regardless of those negative thoughts that sometimes haunt me...

I want to vow to a simpler life. To build a home of my own and live life to the fullest. 

It's time for a change. Somewhere along the line of pre-teen into adulthood I lost that simple life pleasure and it just became complete chaos. Right now, I'm finally starting to see a light and it's wonderful.
