i feel that i am constantly moved by those around me.
i can only hope to reciprocate.

lately i have been very fortunate to know what it feels like to be truly appreciated.

i have a very loving and mature boyfriend who i absolutely adore. i learn so much from him daily. (very different than the previous relationship... let's just say the ex was the jobless unmotivated kind while i carried two jobs, school, and paid all the billls... oh and he cheated on me. cool, i know.)
i have a job that i love. in fact, my manager gave me a hundred dollar bill today only saying that he appreciates my help and that i should take my boyfriend out (which we did, and had a very nice bottle of wine to top it off).
i am surrounded by very beautiful people as friends. i feel that they enrich my life in ways that i have a hard time wording.
and while it is still a budding relationship, i find so much excitement and tranquility in embroidery. i can't wait until i can stitch quick enough to keep up with my ideas. because i have what feels like an infinite amount of ideas.


right now my relationships are satisfying and my creativity is insatiable.

i feel that i am constantly moved by those around me.
i can only hope to reciprocate.
