Perfectly imperfect

I thought I would start my first post on this new blog re-introducing myself. It's been about 2 years since I last blogged. Life has definitely changed. I have changed. My family has changed. Without getting into too much detail of past events, this blog will not only be used to update my family and friends on the happenings around here, but also to share some of my view points as I see life today. I absolutely love diversity. We are all entitled to our own opinions. I would love for you to share your opinions with me, but please remember this is MY blog. If you are unhappy with some of my posts, please feel free to stop reading them. Judgment will not be allowed. Only unconditional love and respect for others. Now having said that....

This is absolutely the happiest time of my life. I thought I had lived happy before and I suppose to some degree I have. But I have never known happiness as I know it today. Details on why to come. I have definitely gone through some rough times. I have questioned God's plan on more than one occasion. I have been mad, angry, bitter, and hurt. I have questioned other people's love for me. But I am here to tell you that I am happier with who I am today than I ever have been., You see, I have been that plastic person. I have lived the life behind the white picket fence. I have been the person that could win an academy award for playing the acting role in my own life. I did all of this because it's what was expected of me by my peers. I was surrounded by people who were uncomfortable with imperfections. Then, my world collapsed. It was the best possible thing that could have happened to me. Through the darkest times in my life I realized who I really was. The masks came off. The acting lessons canceled. I became myself once again. Each day I fell a little more in love with myself. I remembered things that I liked to do but didn't do for so long for fear of non-approval. I realized that I was "perfectly imperfect" and happy with that.

Now that that's out of the way, stay tuned for details about a boy and a girl. I can't wait to tell you "Our Story".
