i wish i had more answers. i wish i had my heart + guts on speed dial. today, im feeling lots of things. its funny when there is zero time to worry and think-- you dont worry and think--but when all of a sudden the wheels stop turning + the train stops running + your life comes to a screeching halt, imaginary worries + thoughts fill your mind and remind you that life is a series of questions + answers + guesses + failures + guts + reactions + rights + wrongs + ups + downs + boys + girls + tours + canceled tours + songs + sounds + smiles...


i would be lying if i said i wasn't absolutely scared about my throat + absolutely bummed about canceling those shows. i would also be lying if i said i didnt somehow believe i was going to be okay. id be lying if i said i didnt somehow believe its all for a bigger reason i can't see yet. do you think the universe wants me to slow down? i mean i didnt stop for sixty days! i guess i'm not a super hero... bummed about that too. haha i guess i'm human + i get sad + scared + worried + anxious like the rest of 'em. what's funny here is by the time i stop typing i bet i feel better. i bet these feelings pass. they say feelings aren't facts + that they're temporary. gosh, thank goodness... cause today if feelings could kill, i'd be a goner.


today i'm not gushing about a newspaper article. today i'm not asking for you to watch me on tv. today i'm just writing to you, listening to bon iver, wishing i didnt have to speak super loud + high pitched, wishing i had more things figured out, wishing i had someone to sing "i got you babe" at karaoke with, wishing i could eat chocolate + wishing my italian father could come over + give me an italian smack on the head because my life is wonderful + i'm having difficulty seeing that. my life, like yours, is filled with peaks + valleys + how very rockstar of me to have an EPIC valley to match my very EPIC peak. all it means is that i'm alive + im participating in life + when i make it to the other side of this... i'll be stronger.


i wanna get rid of this crazy weight on my shoulders. i wanna let it go. are you with me? lets do it together. lets pick out that thing that's killing us today + think about giving it away to the universe. imagine handing it over to the cosmos. breathe it out... cause if something is weighing you down, it's keeping you from shining as bright as you can. right? ok let me know how it goes... mine just melted away..... 


:)

love you guys,

c

    I'd say don't worry, ut even though it's good advice, it's impossible to follow. Everyone worries now and then. I've been on the rollercoaster of life for 45 years now and the best advice I can give is this:

    Enjoy yourself! Enjoy work, if you don't, quit and do something you do enjoy. Get the most out of every day because the next day is promised to no one. The greatest sin - maybe the only one - is regret! Ask that cute guy out, go on that scary ride, give everything you care about everything you got. That's about it, squeeze all the joy outta life you can, because it doesn't subtract from the joy in the world, it multiplies it.

    hmm it must be tough for you these days.. ;|
    but what you did here is amazing :) -- it's like lyrics of a song or a poem -- this explains how much of a good writer you are, congrats! -- and it made my day too ^^
    and it's true "everything happens for a reason" i realized this a lot of times in my life -- but looking on the bright side always helps -- because otherwise you remain sad and you can't focus on important things..
    yeah life's a battle -- but you are a good soldier :P
    don't worry "everything's gonna be all right" remember that song? =)
    everything needs time -- just be strong, not letting yourself down -- and don't think about bad things so much ;)
    i wish you to get better as fast as possible, to continue your amazing gob!
    be strong christina

    I get you girl. Its like even when you're on top of the world, there are still things that get you down. Right now I am going through some stuff with my nursing school and its been really challenging. When I read your posts, it helps me realize that there is so much out there just waiting for me to find it. You are fantastic. Thank you.

    today was bad, woke up late, daughter cried when I dropped her off at preschool, work sucked, bit my lip...hard, had to come home clean and do laundry.
    THEN
    I read this post. You are amazing with words the way you put them together so I know how you are really feeling is amazing to me. Knowing that trying to be a super hero as i sometimes claim to be and failing is ok because even the great CP can feel like crud sometimes. (even though I wish it never had to be that way for either of us.)
    Thank you because I can breath again. Now I know I can get up from the computer go fold my little girls clothes and go to bed knowing I accomplished more today than I probably have all week, even if there were some suckie parts to be had.
