I have to go back.too much of my heart is there and already, separating from him and the pressure of not knowing whats next is making my heart crack, but not yet break.

Forward Ever, Backward Never: Some examples of my Jewelry!

http://blackstarlite.blogspot.com/2009/10/some-examples-of-my-jewelry.html

Thursday, October 22, 2009. Some examples of my Jewelry! Are you less of a person? Definitely not. The people I lived with, worked with had so much less in terms of material goods. But life. Was rich. I won't say life was easy for them all the time. But I have learned it doesn't take much to be happy. I also did not say to be happy one needs to have things go perfectly for them. But really, I think all one needs in life to be happy are meaningful relationships and meaningful work. View my complete profile.

Forward Ever, Backward Never: November 2009

http://blackstarlite.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html

Tuesday, November 24, 2009. What am I supposed to do. When I'm doing everything I'm supposed to do to get over this? I prayed. Jesus says to forgive our neighbor his sins like God has forgiven us. I do want. To forgive. But what does it mean, that in my dreams at night, I'm cussing him out and ready to strangle him for everything? Have I truly forgiven? Or have I forgiven but just can't forget? I'm doing everything I'm supposed to do, right? Saturday, November 7, 2009. I don't know when. Or switch to a "...

Life has been going okay. Unfortunately around Valentine's Day, I became really sick with some sort of fever from Malaria or something.

Forward Ever, Backward Never: When Will I ever get that Good Hair??

http://blackstarlite.blogspot.com/2009/12/when-will-i-ever-get-that-good-hair.html

Sunday, December 20, 2009. When Will I ever get that Good Hair? I can always count on my hair to make me cry. Over the years, hair shedding, bald spots, and over-ambitious "I'm-just-cutting-the-split-ends" incident have induced many episodes of tearful angst. Today was one of those days. I've been on antibiotics recently for some newfound ailment of the month. And its taken a toll on my hair. My hair needs health care overhaul right now. Basically, the medications have caused my hair to shed ...Of course...
