I really like this one. This picture has to be from 2007 or earlier…I can tell because there were less creases in my eyes when I smile (#shitgirlsnotice) but good job darling!

This is what I’m talking about… having the strength and courage to break down your walls completely and share your experience. He is in his most honest form. I admire you for so much wisdom at such a young age. I wish that we all can learn something from this wonderful person.

This past month I have been praying hard about the same thing every single day. Reaching out to others to help join me in prayer. God hears big and small prayers but when you pray with your heart and soul, God knows. Last night my prayer was answered.
Keep calm and pray hard.

Seems like a Yoshi kind of week… I feel bad for Kimchi, I’ll start compiling more photos of him too!

My first child!!! <3 It’s incredible how a dog can instantly put a smile on your face no matter what. The best part of my day would have to be when I get home from a long day and I’m greeted by two excited dogs who seem to have been waiting for my arrival all day :)

Yoshi really is the best dog in the world… he really does love you!

For our 5 year anniversary bf decided to create a blog for me. No words to describe how amazingly wonderful this man is. I don’t mean to boast or brag… I just can’t help but to share to the universe that real love is REAL. It exists. It’s not perfect but that’s what makes it REAL. I will save a relationship post for another time. I want to share with you a note I wrote yesterday:
David,
I just want to tell you that I love you very, very much! Sometimes my words get lost in translation and so I wanted to write you. I know I have been hard on you lately. My life stresses have been influencing my attitude towards you. I know you don’t have to deal with it but you do so anyway. Yesterday when you were talking to Sodium. Hearing you speak about your love for God and passion for dance with such conviction. It kind of made me look at you with refreshed eyes. I have been so focused on the right here and right now that I was losing sight of the bigger picture. I spend too much time worrying about my future, your future, and our future together that I forget about how blessed we are just to have each other. David, I have no doubt that the rib God made me out of belongs to you. The past five years have been such a roller coaster ride. All the dance, the laughs, the fights, the year apart in Texas, the reuniting, the dogs… its been crazy. Still, I would never trade any second of it with anyone else in this world. I love you. You are my man.
Yours truly, Chantha
One of my biggest fear is telling others what that actually is.
I’ve always admired those who could openly share their feelings…so freely. Now I’m not talking about the kind of “woe is me…my problems are more important than yours so give me attention” type of sharing. I mean the kind where your walls completely break down and your mouth is overflowed with words that has been piercing at your heart. It’s amazing because you see their truest state and then you understand.
I’m not sure why its feels extremely hard for me to do. My boyfriend says its my pride. Like many Asian families, talking about your feelings is just something you don’t do. It could be seen as showing weakness. There was no time for weakness in my household. I would much rather leave the state than talk about my fears (like I did in 2009).
It’s funny because I’ve had this account for almost 6 months now. Going back and forth on whether or not I should actually do this. When bf asked why I haven’t used it, I told him that I didn’t want the possibility of regretting talking about myself. What if I didn’t hold up to what I said? Then I thought, just do it… deal with the fear later.
So here I am. Me, putting myself “out there”. Out there where vulnerability and the ugly truth lives. But I can only hope that resilience and courage lives there too. I’m not planning on having an emotional breakdown via tumblr, but its a step towards letting go. The more I hold onto it, the stronger of a grip it has on me; making life decisions for me.
After all, fear is human nature. It’s something that we all have to experience in this world. It’s part of human growth. What we do with the fear is what matters.
Hope your Halloween isn’t as scary as mine.
xo, Chantha
