Sipping champagne and setting standards.

Two months without a formal post, I know, 
I am the worst blogger in the history of all blogs. 
You're welcome. 

Well, hello again. 

I hope everyone is having a lovely December so far, 
and I'm wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and happy holiday season
in advance just in case I decide to encounter another serious bit of writers block.

The thing about me, and this page, is I don't want to force anything. 
I never want any of my writing to feel like it's being pulled out of no where, 
and thrown out onto this page. I had been thinking about this for the past week, 
as I have been trying to seriously set my standards a bit higher than I have been lately.

I saw myself falling back into old ways of thinking, and just feeling constantly down.
This year has been rough, and I know it's been a tough one on everyone. 
I met someone new, who has brought out a light in me that 
I haven't seen in myself in a while.

I think everyone needs someone who forces you to
raise your opinion of yourself to a higher level.
I think everyone deserves someone who hears about one of your flaws, 
and raises you two positives. 

Recently I became so tired with my routine and 
I just saw my old ways coming back to life, 
and I actually hated it so much, I decided that I was over it.
With a push, strong words of encouragement,
and a bit of a reality check from my family, friends, and my new love, 
I decided to stop settling for unhappiness.
I've worked my ass off and deserve what I work for. 

While sipping cheap champagne out of a gelato container, 
I cheers to you.
Here's to a December of raised standards, love, and pure joy.
(and more posts, I promise.)

Love always, 
K.
