The Fissures of Moving On

As I wrote before, the I Wrote This For You is a profound and beautiful blog and this entry reminded me of myself about two years ago.

My ex boyfriend, L, and I had been broken up for a couple of months and I found that although I was working on moving on, I had started a new job, I was dating (all things that are a recipe to heal a broken heart), small thoughts about him would creep into my head randomly all day long.

I would be getting tea for breakfast at work and I would remember that his favorite is chamomile.

I would cleaning out the dirt underneath my nails and remember that he'd comment on them.

It was as if I was rebuilding my foundation, a life without L, and yet these small insignificant thoughts caused fissures in the cracks of cement that was the material of my reconstruction. I realize now that it meant I hadn't fully moved on but it was haunting none the less.

New Favorite Blog: I Wrote This For You

I am one of the many, many people that belong to facebook and one day I was looking at a friend's page and she had a link on her profile page.

I clicked and fell in love with: I Wrote This For You/Please Find This.

It is a heartbreakingly beautiful and profound blog.

Some of my favorite posts that say it better than I wrote for the links:

When you love you care, when you hate you care, indifference means you don't care

When you don't want to move on because it does not seem to be possibility

For when you've broken up with an ex that you still love

What it's like when someone else can find you

If you have forgotten what it's like to feel deeply about someone, go there and you'll remember.

If you don't want to feel alone in your pain, go there.

If you want to be moved, go there.

If you want to remember how someone used to feel strongly about you, go there.

And if you are lucky enough to have someone who loves you and cares for you deeply, go there to live further in the moment.

If you are fascinated by secrets . . .

Head over to Crazy Days and Nights-> click here.

I am not doing work, instead I am refreshing and refreshing because these secrets/confessions/lies fascinate me.

I'm not even sure if they are true but if they are . . .

It's astounding to me what other people to do each other and the repercussions that follow. Like neverending ripples. . .

Great Internet Find via Daily Candy: Leviticus Jewelry

I am a big fan and subscriber to Daily Candy and about a week or so I got an email in my inbox about a fabulous, unique, and a little bit out there jewelry company. It's name is Leviticus Jewelry.

My taste and style in clothes, handbags, shoes, and jewelry leans toward a bit out of there because I like things that are extremely unusual and are statement pieces. Leviticus Jewelry is perfectly up my alley.

This is one necklace that almost had me sold:


Until I saw the Love Letter necklace:





I love how multiple chains gather at one side and there is an unexpected sweet surprise to the necklace's design.

The absolutely best part? It is completely afforable!!

Tara & Bella: Animal Besties for Life!

I've been a consistent reader of Dooce and I religiously read Lainey Gossip, so when both sites that contain extremely different kinds of content (a woman's life vs. celebrity gossip), posted these flights within a week of each other, I had to post this extraordinary video as well.

I never knew that elephants had best friends for life!
