Hello there my awesome readers and welcome to yet another Friday favorites. In has officially been a year since I started doing this. I was looking back on my older posts and thinking about how cool it is to have a recap of everything that's happened to me in the last year. A lot of you don't know this but I used to keep diaries when I was younger. I used to write in them everyday. I wrote about everything. I thought I would keep them forever. When I was moving out last year I found them all in a box that I had put away in my closet. There was 17 of them all together. I read through some of them just to see what they said. It had been so long and I had forgotten what I had written about. I started writing them in high school like 9th grade and I stopped when I was 24. Those were really hard years for me. A lot of crappy things happened to me and a lot of crappy people happened to me and when I read them over all I saw was negativity and a lot of pain and sadness. I was at the point where I was in a better place, I was happier, I was excited about moving out with my boyfriend and I was done with the past. I was done with the depression that I was stuck in for years and these books were just bringing back all the bad times and all the bad feelings that I felt at the time. Ironically "The Butterfly Effect" just so happened to be playing on TV that day. I watched it and at the end he burns all his journals and his friend asks him "are you sure you want to do this?" And he says "I know who I am. I don't need a bunch of stuff to remind me." And that's when I knew the diaries had to go. So I burnt them all in the fire pit. And I told myself if I ever wrote anything again it would only be positive and uplifting. If you want to live a happy life you can't be negative you have to focus on the good things. That's why I started Friday favorites because I wanted to write something positive. I'm very proud of myself that I've written this as long as I have been. I hope you guys enjoy my posts and take my advice. Life is too short to be so unhappy for so long make sure everything you do and everything you say and everything you write is positive. When you think positive good things will happen to you I promise you they will. I didn't just get rid of my diaries that day, I got rid of bad feelings, I got rid of bad experiences, and I got rid of the past which I had been holding onto for a long time. Anyways lets talk about the week.:) Last Saturday Kevin took me to NewHope to celebrate 2 years since we met and had our first date. It was fun walking around and going into all the little shops. We ate at Marsha Browns where I got this yummy burger with hot sauce and crispy onions. Then we walked down by the river.:) On Tuesday night I made this really easy, really yummy meatloaf that turned out really good. If you want to recipe I will put it on my recipe page. On Wednesday night Kevin and I were just goofing around and taking pictures. I love him so much! I couldn't imagine my life without him in it.:)❤ I found this picture on Facebook and I had to share it. He was my favorite character on Game Of Thrones:) Yesterday morning I stopped over my moms before work and she made me a yummy breakfast of waffles, bananas, blueberries, and strawberries.😋 That's all for this week. Have a great weekend everyone!!!:)
