i’d really love to be that girl that keeps fresh flowers in a beautiful vase. the one who’s home is always in order, every space utilized perfectly. who can coordinate a room to match a feeling and transition it throughout a house. who can walk into a flea market & pick out a perfect piece of furniture to refurbish. then make it beautiful. who can sand dressers. and paint without dripping on the floor. someone who can mix cocktails & owns coordinating bar ware. who’s bed is always made. the girl who’s hair is always in place. and who can paint her own fingernails. who can hang pictures straight & create gallery walls. the girl who takes that ordinary thing & turns it into something magical. that girl makes everything look easy. i know brian would like for me to be this girl. my erratic lifestyle and impulsive decision making, i know drives him up walls.

but over here it’s all messy hair, messy bed, messy life.

but it’s mine. the mess is all mine. and no one can take that. it may not be perfect, but then again what life worth living is?
