Pieces of ME.

I’m pretty sure I’m smack dab in the whole “quarter life crisis”  time period.

I have the most amazing girlfriends in the world. Five Many of my closest live in Boston with me. People are oddly enough always surprised by our relationships with each other. Yes we really love each other. 

 I also have the most amazing, supportive and fun family. I would call my cousins and my sisters my best friends.

My favorite number is 11. It’s annoyingly now associated with my ex-boyfriend. It’s still my favorite number and more and more it just feels like my favorite number.

I don’t even like calling him my ex-boyfriend. He was more than that. My best-friend, teacher, lover, etc. I didn’t see the break-up coming (I really didn’t). It’s hard to let go when you really think you were an amazing match. I know he thought I was amazing. He just wasn’t ready for us. He might will never be ready… Almost a year and a half later I met someone new. I’m falling for the Townie. Who knows where our relationship is going, but it keeps moving forward.

The show Modern Family makes me laugh. And not just giggle but that deep down in your stomach laugh. 

I have two sisters. One older by 1.5 years and one younger by 5 years. Middle children are usually pegged as those wanting attention. I was the opposite in my family. The peace-maker.

In high school I always wanted my hazel/brown eyes to be green so I wore green contacts. Ironically, when I stopped wearing them in college they lightened. Now I’m told they are green/hazel.

I LOVE Thanksgiving. Being surrounded by my amazing family (usually there are over 20 of us) eating my favorite foods and relaxing is something I couldn’t be more thankful of. When I get married I’ll switch off on any holiday but Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is mine!

My birthday tends to fall on or near Thanksgiving. Growing up my family thought it was funny to give me pumpkin pie with a candle in it as a birthday cake. Even better was the year they got an ice cream birthday cake with a turkey on it.

I love reading. It’s the only thing that truly takes my mind off “things” and allows me into another world. I’m always on the search for books that will do that. After reading Sarah’s Key and The Help I’m struggling to find another gem.

At one point I had both my belly button and tongue pierced. I tried to hide the tongue piercing as much as I could. For anyone who knew me, it was an utter surprise that I would have such a thing. We’ll call that my most rebellious moment.

I have a tiny tattoo on the inside of my lower left hip. It’s a star from the Australian flag. I got it after spending a few months living abroad during college in Tasmania.

I LOVE the winter. There is something about the first snow, fireplaces, and snuggling under blankets that always makes me feel deeply content.

By nature I am a really positive and optimistic person. My whole life it’s been really easy to see the cup half full, have confidence in myself, see the world for what it has to offer. My recent heartbreak has for the first time in my life caused blips in that nature. I want it back. Badly.

I dream a lot and remember at least one dream a night. I sometimes dislike remembering dreams because they feel so real. I have a few times had a dream about someone and carried those feelings into the next day. Oops.

Last August I competed in my first triathlon. For the first time in my life, I consider myself an athlete. It feels pretty damn good.

In the last year I’ve become more and more interesting in photography, cooking, baking, and reading healthy living blogs. I’ve fallen in love with the world of health and fitness.

I’m hoping this blog can be my outlet for however long this quarter life crisis continues. I’m also hoping it helps someone else out there feeling the same way.
