sugar cookies

when i was younger, we lived in a part of irvine called northwood. i'd go grocery shopping at the local vons (by del taco, carls jr, downey savings, the dance studio, and blockbuster) with my mom. every time, i'd look forward to getting a free sugar cookie from the bakery there. with sprinkles of course.

i'm pretty sure i inherited my mom's sweet tooth.

in high school, she'd pick me up from school and i KNEW 9 times out of 10, i could convince her to split a starbucks frappucino with me =) so i did!

remembering and forgetting

how do you keep from forgetting? forgetting the feeling. forgetting the love. forgetting what it feels like to have a mother. forgetting what it was like to have her in your life. forgetting what it felt like to know you had the option to turn to her for advice or other motherly things. it's only been almost two years. what will happen with each passing year? i know, i can control it. remembering and forgetting. i can control it. but a girl's got to express her fear, right? side note: i wish i could call her. i am at a crossroads in my life where i need to do something about something. the only thing is that i have to wait for the right timing. like waiting to hop into a game of double dutch. it's all about timing. but i will do something. and looking back on my draft posts, i've been needing to do something about something since at least march. there are several things that need to happen. but i must be patient. the great thing about life though, is that…

it's been a long time comin

i think i've finally graduated from living in a dark cloud filled world, to a pretty sunny and bright world again. and i am not skeptical.. i do not currently think that the other shoe will drop. it's sunny! and green! you know that dark cloud? the one that follows you around, almost impossible to shake. the one that threatened to thunder, lightning, rain, and hail? the one that had a gun and promised to shoot you once, at an unexpected moment, sometime in the future? the one that was there for 4.5-5 years that you were forced to accept. that forced you to learn to truly appreciate silver linings and statistical anomalies. well, it shot me (and my family, i suppose) on november 23, 2012. the cloud finally shot me. i guess there a rule in movies, where if you see a gun, it WILL be used. i saw the gun sometime around july 6th 2008. month to month. day to day. scan to scan. test to test. 85% mortality. #4 killer. 3 months.  3-6 months. google search to google search. after t

rock bottom riser

the purpose of this post is just for me to type feelings out because theyre currently trapped in my noggin... nothing prolific or anything.... you know... one minute, you're FINE. and then BAM it hits you. your're driving home from OC, slightly nostalgic, and coming from a bridal shower of a dear friend and from getting boba with another dear friend. you're singing along to tswift's 1989 album. and then...TEARS. streaming down your cheeks. i miss her.... there is so much happening. a new house, a bright future, happy at work. pretty at peace and happy with life.  this is the best i've been (overall) in maybe a decade with where i am, where i've been, and where i am going. i mean, nothing is ever 'perfect'.. but seriously, i'm actually not tinged with conflict in my head and questioning things. but... i guess everything is just...so...damn. bittersweet.  she's not here. (yeah yeah, she's in your heart, with you always ). yeah, but SHE
