Ivy ran barefoot through the woods, down the small path his feet had carved after decades of tracing the same steps each day. She ducked branches and dodged spider webs, barely letting them faze her. The sweet humming of the cicadas cheered her on, serenading her, as she neared her destination. Each step she took felt like a profession. One step for desire, one step for lust, another for love… was it love? The air after the storm was moist, more humid than usual, and the nightgown she’d found in the box of her grandmother’s things clung to her body; her hair flowing behind her in frizzy, yet beautiful, chocolate spirals that made her look like a mad woman. She was a mad woman, she thought, running through the night with only the moonlight to guide her. Following a gut instinct, chasing after a mysterious figure, knowing that this decision would change everything.

She saw the small fishing cabin in the distance, often called a “camp” in the south, being held up in the air by 12-foot stilts. Inside a single light was on, and the shadowy figure of a man passed by the window. Ivy’s heart leapt as she sprinted forward, barely able to control her desires. One step for faith, one step for longing, and another step for forgetting the past - his past. Six more steps and she was there at the base of his stairs. Her heart beat as fast as a hummingbird’s as she looked up to the warm glow coming from the window and took a deep breath. She thought, “Surely I am a mad woman,” as she began to climb the stairs.

So, this is the first two paragraphs of the novel I started writing five years ago. No, it is NOT about vampires. I didn’t proof read it, so pardon any gramatical errors. I am currently in the process of finishing it.

Now You're Back From Outerspace!

Sun, 17 Feb 2013 12:46:14 -0500

I’m going to start using this blog again to post/reblog pictures and possibly put some of things I write as well, but I refuse to use it to rant or post details of my life. Hey! I’m back!

I am going to be honest...

Sun, 21 Oct 2012 22:28:12 -0400

I have another blog. I have for awhile now. I wasn’t confident enough to share it with people that I already knew or people that previously knew me through Tumblr, but I am pretty confident about it now. This new blog and new lifestyle is here to stay.

It is a blog about my journey to the healthiest, happiest version of myself. I don’t post about personal problems or rant. I don’t reblog memes or pictures of hot guys. I post pictures of my raw/vegan food. I post about (or will post about) healthy food, alternative medicine, yoga, running, chemical-free cleaning and beauty, spirituality and overall health and personal growth.

If this sounds like something you are interested in or just want to support me, please check me out at Raw Rejuvenation. There is a little something for everyone there.

So long, indefinitely

Thu, 21 Jun 2012 22:43:22 -0400

I’ve been considering this for a long time, and I have decided to take a break from all forms of social media. I’m not doing this to be dramatic or because I am depressed, and I won’t be back next week talking about how a week seemed like forever. I am taking a break indefinitely. I’m seeing this time as a retreat. A time to focus on bettering myself from the inside out. A time to read more books, practice more yoga, run more miles, photograph more people, write more stories, clean more house, and maybe even have more of a real social life. My life has become an open book thanks to Facebook, Tumblr, Instagram, etc. It is a book I am writing, yet I seldom portray myself in a good light. I want to separate myself so I can see what it is like to really live, privately. I want to see what friendships are capable of existing without social media channels. I want peace.

A bunch of things led to this decision. Last week the power went out in my apartment complex and I met my neighbors. Long after the light had returned, we sat discussing how sad it was that we had never met before. We literally had to be unplugged in order to speak to the people we live around. The irony is that I had to re-activate my Facebook in order to add them and stay in touch. The next morning I awoke in almost a state of panic and I realize that it was because without Facebook, came peace, and now that I had it back, I felt naked and awkward. I very quickly returned the bad habits of checking his page for anything at all that could torture me. I also started feeling very flighty. I love Austin. Austin was the dream, but I started wanting to run away. I was looking at homes and jobs back in Mississippi, in Gainesville, Santa Cruz and Portland. But running isn’t the answer. Finding peace wherever I am is the answer, and this is a step towards that peace.

Maybe this all seems very melodramtaic, but I don’t mean for it to. I’ve just never had the best luck with social media. Even back in my LiveJournal days, I made too much public, I started fights, lost friends. Some people can handle a casual drink every now and then, but others are alcoholics. Well, some people can handle a dose of social media every now and then, then others are adicts like myself, and we take ourselves and everyone else around us down. Not to say I’ve behaved this poorly on the internet recently, but I have in the past, and there is only one way to prevent it from happening again.

Perhaps I will be back in a few months, or maybe more like six, or perhaps longer than that. For now, I am logging off Facebook and Tumblr. I deleted my Pinterest, Instagram, and Twitter apps from my phone. I’m off to cook myself a healthy meal, read a good book, and get a good night’s sleep.
