Single, for 9 months now.

Its as if I’ve been sober for 9 months. 

It’s odd, I really didn’t think I could survive because i forgot what it was like. I’m not gonna lie, it has been a rough road but I am so happy I was single this school year. 

I finally know what platonic love is and its so much better. it’s secure and calm and comforting. It’s not stressful or rash. It puts my heart at ease. I am so happy to have such amazing friends. 

This goes to you Olivia and Peter <3 Your the greatest friends I’ve ever had =] 

Look how far we have come

It’s weird because I don’t feel any different. And deep down I am not. 

Reading over what happened in my life in the past I see the same problems I’ve had for all these years are the same. It’s just now I deal with them differently and prioritize them differently.

It’s true. People don’t change, problems don’t go away, and time repeats however it’s how you deal with these changes, problems and people that make you who you are today. 

my life.

my life.

Breaking News of the Day: Obama Backs Gay Marriage: [UPDATED] President Obama has publicly announced his support for gay marriage in an interview today with Robin Roberts. (Watch the video here.)

I have to tell you that over the course of several years as I have talked to friends and family and neighbors when I think about members of my own staff who are in incredibly committed monogamous relationships, same-sex relationships, who are raising kids together, when I think about those soldiers or airmen or Marines or sailors who are out there fighting on my behalf and yet feel constrained, even now that “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell” is gone, because they are not able to commit themselves in a marriage, at a certain point I’ve just concluded that for me personally it is important for me to go ahead and affirm that I think same sex couples should be able to get married.

Obama, who is the first U.S. president to openly back gay marriage, had come under fire this week for remaining mum on the subject after Joe Biden and Arne Duncan publicly declared their support. The president’s announcement comes a day after North Carolina voted in favor of a constitutional amendment that bans marriage equality.
Obama’s interview will appear on ABC’s Good Morning America on Thursday. Excerpts will air tonight on ABC’s World News with Diane Sawyer.
