Our personas convince us that there is nothing that we don't know about ourselves -- that we are in fact the person we see in the mirror and believe ourselves to be. But the issue with this is that once we have bought into the story of 'this is who I am,' we shut the door on any other possibility and deny ourselves access to all of who we can be. We lose our ability to choose, because we can't do anything outside the confines of the character we're playing. The predictable persona we've constructed is now in control. We become blind to the immense possibilities for our life."

If You're Happy and You Know It


I came home the other day to find this on my fridge. I start work earlier than Nice Guy does so he just goes out the back door in the morning and it locks behind him. It's been almost three months since we started dating. I think I have done more things with him now than I had ever done in 6 years with my Ex.

I think it's making my girl friends slightly jealous though. I've been trying to hold back in telling them all the stuff we do because I don't want to get their guys mad at me. For example, I didn't tell them about the note. But I did mention that he's taking me to this expensive restaurant tonight (that I LOVE, the food is SO good) which they promptly mentioned to their guys that they never get go anywhere, let along that place! Whoops...

We've also been floating down the river, searching for treasure in an old shed, having dinner with a bunch of different friends, and watching movies. He helped clean my house for a Games Night that I had. We went to the fair when it was in town and he won me a teddy bear. We've been fishing a few times and he got me my own rod and tackle box. He likes holding my hand in church (I go because it makes him really happy to have me there but he understands my religious views).

*clap clap*

On a side note: I really miss my family. I went to a Sister's Tea today with some of my girl friends but it just made me really miss my sisters more. There was a mug that almost made me cry. So I bought it for my sister for her birthday. Luckily I get to fly home in a few weeks to see everyone. Oh happy day!
