* On particularly rough days when I'm sure I can't possible endure, I like to remind myself that my track record for getting through bad days so far is 100%.. and that's pretty good.
* Relationship advice for 2016: Pay more attention to your partner, than you do your phone.
* Never allow yourself to be so desperate that you end up settling for far less than what you deserve.
* Don't talk to me because you're "bored". I'm not here to entertain you. And don't come to me only when you need a favor. I don't like being used.
* I've changed? No, I just grew up. I stopped letting people push me around, I learned that I can't always be happy, I accepted reality.

I woke up.
I have clothes to wear.
I have running water.
I have food to eat.
Life is good.
I am thankful.
* Sometimes, the bad things that happen in our lives put us directly on the path to the best things that will ever happen to us.
* The ability to sit down with another person and talk for hours, about anything and everything, is more attractive to me than anything else. - Koi Fresco

* All trials are not the reason to give up but a challenge to improve ourselves. Our pain is not an excuse to back out, but an inspiration to move on. *
It feels so good to be wanted again; to just hang out with an old friend without the pressure of feeling like he just wants a hook up; to just sit and watch TV, talk and catch up on our lives. And then going to bed, cuddling in each other's arms, and waking up in each other's arms. That is a feeling I've been missing for a while.

Find three hobbies you love:
One to make you money,
One to keep you in shape,
And one to be creative.
January 23, 2016
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do.
So throw off the bowlines.
Sail away from the safe harbor.
Catch the trade winds in your sails.
Explore.
Dream.
Discover.
- Mark Twain

There are only two ways to live your life.
One is as though nothing is a miracle.
The other is as though everything is a miracle.

* Stay away from people who make you feel like you are hard to love <3
* Sometimes I don't have it all together, but my love and loyalty are always on point.
* Some things are better left unsaid. But, eventually, I'm going to get drunk and say them anyway.

At my age, I'm at the point where...
* I rather watch Netflix and order take-out than party
* Have one consistent partner than random encounters
* Five friends than a hundred associates
* People who give me constructive criticism, rather than lie to save my feelings
* Travel the world and learns as much as humanly possible
Fall in love with the person who enjoys your madness, not an idiot who forces you to be normal.
The only people who think there's a time limit for grief, have never lost a piece of their heart. <3 Take all the time you need.
Fate whispers to the warrior, "You cannot withstand the storm" and the warrior whispers back, "I am the storm."
Someone once told me not to bite off more than I could chew. I told them I would rather choke on greatness than nibble on mediocrity.
She made broken look beautiful and strong look invincible. She walked with the Universe on her shoulders and made it look like a pair of wings.
Stop waiting for Friday, for summer, for someone to fall in love with you, for life. Happiness is achieved when you stop waiting for it and make the most of the moment you are in now.
"Families don't have to match. You don't have to look like someone else to love them." - Leigh Anne Tuohy
Be the kind of woman that, when your feet hit the floor in the morning, the devil says, "Oh crap, she's up."
My hope is that they will remember that mommy tried. Even when she was tired, even when she was stressed. I hope they will know that I did it all for them. That I had every intention of being great, good, and grand, but that some days all I could be was okay.
A true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she knows. - Audrey Hepburn
Walk with the dreamers, the believers, the courageous, the cheerful, the planners, the doers, the successful people with their heads in the clouds and their feet on the ground. - Wilfred Peterson
God created our skin tones with beautiful variety, but all of our souls are the same color. - Dave Willis
Girls compete with each other. Women empower one another.
Instead of focusing so much on a To Do List. I'm starting a To Be List. Things I Want To Be:
Happy
Calm
Loving
Healthy
Awesome
Sometimes you need to forget what you feel and remember what you deserve.

* There will be times in your life when you have to choose between being loved and being respected. Always pick being respected. That love without respect was always fleeting - but that respect could grow into real, lasting love.
* Your peace is more important than driving yourself crazy trying to understand why something happened the way it did. Let it go.
* I CAN AND I WILL. Watch me.
* A bad attitude is like a flat tire. You can't go anywhere until you change it.
* Women who've lost their mothers live differently in the world. We keep moving through life and somehow keep ourselves together, but collectively we exist with other motherless daughters within a quiet but strong society, a sisterhood of shared experiences that only come with experiencing the unthinkable and surviving.

* She didn't leave you for making too many mistakes, she left because you made the same mistake, too many times.
* My parents raised a very respectful lady with a very bad attitude problem, that has the biggest heart.
* Life is too short to be serious all the time. So, if you can't laugh at yourself, call me... I'll laugh at you.
* Choosing to smile even when you are having a bad day doesn't mean you're being fake. It means you're choosing to focus on all the reasons you have to be thankful instead of the reasons you have to be stressed.
* People who have been single for too long are the hardest to love. They have become so used to being single, independent and self-sufficient that it takes something extraordinary to convince them that they need you in their life.
* If you are the baby of the family, feel honored. It means your parents finally made the perfect child so they stopped at you.

* You don't really truly know someone until you get ridiculously drunk with them.
* Only three types of people tell the truth: kids, drunk people, and anyone who is pissed the f*ck off.
* I told you I'd move on. I told you I'd let you go someday. Honestly, it was the hardest thing I've ever done but it was worth it. For me, for my heart. You hurt me so bad. You killed my trust, you changed. me. I knew I could be strong enough to let you go. I knew it and I did it. I can't explain how proud I am. Because I'm the only one who knows how much you hurt me. But here I am now, healing. We may love the wrong person, but one thing is sure, mistakes will help us find the right person someday.
* I don't sing in the car. I perform.
Four reasons women take so long in the shower:
1. We have lots of body parts to shave.
2. Conditioner needs time to soak in.
3. Have to let the hot water warm up our ice cold souls.
4. Karaoke.
* At some point in life, someone will love you more than what you've expected, Be patient and learn to wait, because sometimes a patient person receives the best love story.
* Depression, anxiety, and panic attacks are not signs of weakness. They are signs of trying to remain strong for far too long.
* The right relationship is absolutely worth fighting for... as long as you aren't the only one fighting. - Charles Orlando
* You don't need to waste your time on someone who only wants you around when it fits their needs.
* When somebody texts you good morning, they're really saying you're the first thing I think about.
* Pain changes people, it makes them trust less overthink more, and shut people out.

* As you get older you find out that true happiness is not in how much you make or how many degrees you have or how big your house is or how fancy your car is. It's finding peace and joy and a calmness in your life that will soon become the most important thing to you. Your family are what matters to you, love is what matters to you. Things that are of quality not of quantity.
* She's badass with a good heart, soft but strong. Unapologetic and honest. She's the type of women you go to war beside, the type of woman you marry. - R.H. Sin
* Finding someone you can really connect with is like winning the lottery - It happens basically never, but if it does, you really shouldn't blow it.
* Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending. - Carl Bard

* You're amazing and deserve the best. If a guy ever says differently, he probably has a small penis. Guys with small penises say weird shit.
* I think it's important to realize you can miss something, but not want it back. * If you're lucky enough to get a second chance at something, don't waste it.
* Loyalty is different from love. Just because someone loves you, doesn't mean they are loyal to you. Loyalty is royalty and if you find it, you better keep it.
* Stop complaining - being an adult is easy; pay your bills, don't smoke meth, keep a few close friends, wear deodorant, and tip your bartender.
* Fall in love with the person who enjoys your madness, not an idiot who forces you to be normal.
* You didn't break my heart, you disappointed me. Not by who you were, but by what we weren't. And the worst part was, I should've known. I DID know. I went in knowing. But somewhere along the way, I let my hopes get the better of me, and against all my reasonable logic, I let myself think we were a possibility. But we never were. And realizing that once again.. That is what was so disappointing.

Introduction to 365 Days of Positivity
For anyone who knows me, my life is a complete disarray. It is full of drama and bad mistakes. As the new year started, once again single me decided to make another change. I decided I wanted to start writing again because I haven't in probably 7 months. My other blogs have died. I decided to try something new, something upbeat and more positive than all my last blogs. I can't keep living my life so unhappily and negatively, other wise I'm going to be that little stink-eyed old lady with 20 cats, no family, no husband, no grandbabies.
So with this quick introduction, I give you my 365 days of positivity. My name is Krista. I'm 29 years old. In 2015 I broke up with my boyfriend of three years (who happened to be married also, long story). Life granted me with a niece names Saturn, she's absolutely adorable. I moved out of my dad's house and got my own apartment with a friend (that was rough and still is). There were some good memories but a lot more tears.
So I wanted to start over, but that can't really happen. So starting today, January 13, 2016 - I am writing all the positive things in my life down. So that hopefully, you, my reader(s), if you are having a down and out day, I can bring your spirits up with these words of wisdom, inspiration, or real life experiences. So let's get started!
