I Never Had A Boyfriend – Preshstones

https://youarenotyourstone.wordpress.com/2015/06/03/i-never-had-a-boyfriend/comment-page-1

You are not your stone you're a diamond in the rough. I Never Had A Boyfriend. June 3, 2015. I never had a boyfriend. Onto high school, where everyone and anyone had a boyfriend or girlfriend, a someone to hook up with after the bonfire on Friday. That is, after all, what a high schooler’s world revolves around: their single, taken, or it’s complicated status. Who do you like? I was a perfect setup for a much older college-guy to swoop in and completely steal my heart. I should have known better. I curre...

The Fat Stone – Preshstones

https://youarenotyourstone.wordpress.com/2015/04/03/the-fat-stone-2

You are not your stone you're a diamond in the rough. April 3, 2015. April 3, 2015. I lie to myself. I would tell you in my own words, but one of my favorite authors Shauna Niequist captures my lie perfectly in her essay Enough from. If my heart was broken, I’d just put on a bikini and that sadness would vanish…I know this isn’t true. REMINDER TO SELF: stop wasting time on FACEBOOK! And one post caught my eye. It was a picture of a very famous reality star who has unarguably been putting in the work ...

The Funk – Preshstones

https://youarenotyourstone.wordpress.com/2015/05/19/the-funk/comment-page-1

You are not your stone you're a diamond in the rough. May 19, 2015. May 20, 2015. I see my phone on the ottoman and scroll through my recent calls. Some of my friends (many of whom I haven’t talked to in. Have left voicemails. It would be a perfect time to call them back. I miss them. I really, really do, but I don’t call. I pick up my remote and look through my DVR of guilty pleasures instead. I pick. At least that isn’t trashy. Wheels on the Bus. Why, when I need people most, do I go it. Could it be th...

April 2015 – Preshstones

https://youarenotyourstone.wordpress.com/2015/04

You are not your stone you're a diamond in the rough. Finding My True Stride. April 29, 2015. April 29, 2015. I am a runner. Not the physical, race-type runner (I get winded after one block), but a runner just the same. I am really good at running. From things. I feel like maybe I’ve mastered the art of running from who I am. And so instead of trying to work on my artistic vision, I run away from it. As far as discipline goes, sometimes my mind is bombarded with thoughts of how I. If the answer is yes, t...

The Breakup – Preshstones

You are not your stone you're a diamond in the rough. May 6, 2015. May 6, 2015. Comparison: How you been Jetty? What have you been. Me: Yea, well…I’m good. Just ahh…you know…still singing.and writing songs and stuff. Just trying to live my dreams. Comparison: Oh, that’s nice. How many albums did you sell with your last release? Me: Umm…wow…probably, like, a few hundred…maybe? Everyone really cares about her mediocre music way more than yours…. Where’s my tour bus? Comparison: You could try that, but just...

Sometimes Stones are like Landmines. – Preshstones

https://youarenotyourstone.wordpress.com/2015/04/23/sometimes-stones-are-like-landmines

You are not your stone you're a diamond in the rough. Sometimes Stones are like Landmines. April 23, 2015. April 23, 2015. Sometimes stones are like landmines, meaning they aren’t thrown –. In an instant your world is blown to pieces and you are left maimed and scarred facing a much altered and unimaginable, new reality. First a little history. I’ve always had a resilient spirit. I could bounce back when hit by a stone. Purpose. For the first time in my life I. The Devil is a Fallen Angel. The Story ...

Why does pretty have to hurt? – Preshstones

https://youarenotyourstone.wordpress.com/2015/04/09/why-does-pretty-have-to-hurt

You are not your stone you're a diamond in the rough. Why does pretty have to hurt? April 9, 2015. April 9, 2015. I turned to my friend and said, You know what? I feel pretty today. She stared at me with a slight look of disbelief. She turned back to the mirror and then back to me and rested her hand on my shoulder and said in a gentle tone, Abbie, I love you enough to say that you sounded really self-centered when you said that. Oh my word, did I sound vain? What was I thinking saying that? Pretty shoul...

March 2015 – Preshstones

https://youarenotyourstone.wordpress.com/2015/03

You are not your stone you're a diamond in the rough. The Stone of Self-Doubt. March 25, 2015. March 25, 2015. The thing about art is that almost everyone has an opinion, good or bad. My first semester of college I had a difficult time witnessing people’s eyes wash over my vulnerable, unfinished work. I found myself trying to stick up for it, saying things like, “oh, I just started,” or “this is just a silly doodle.”. Why was I so afraid to tell the truth? Who cares if people like it or hate it? But inst...

May 2015 – Preshstones

https://youarenotyourstone.wordpress.com/2015/05

You are not your stone you're a diamond in the rough. May 27, 2015. May 27, 2015. First, some background information: I don’t know how or where I will be continuing my education in the fall, I don’t have a summer job yet, I live with my parents, and I have more pairs of shoes than dollars in my bank account. Now that we have that settled, on to the matter at hand. Where are you attending school? Where do you work? To share with you the way it has affected me. So, without further ado. I told myself I woul...
