Despite how hard everything is right now, I’m a pretty lucky girl. It’s hard and embarrassing to admit that things aren’t always going the way you want (or rarely!) and that you’ve got worries, stresses and insecurities building up and preventing you from going where you want in life. I worry about writing too openly, that I’ll regret it later. Maybe I will, but right now I’m just feeling great fortune at having friends and family and cheerleaders. Family texting, friends emailing, subway riders saying hello and “thanks for the halo braid tutorial”, a sweet girl from Germany sending good vibes, 200 comments of love, and a Piper Jane that never stops tapping no matter how many times her dad’s watch has been tapped. If that Pip refuses to give up, why on Earth would I?
Things are still hard. I’m still confused about life and how my kitchen got so many fruit flies and why I still watch the Jersey Shore even though I really do hate it.
But, I just wanted to say thank you for all the tea and sympathy over the last several days. You guys are too good to be true.
Sending you lot’s of love Reagan!!!!! My hair and I will be coming to visit you very, VERY soon!!!!

Mustn’t quit Jersey Shore! *fist pump!*
I can help with the fruit flies. This is a solid helpful solution- seriously!
Plastic cup
1-1.5 inches of Braggs apple cider vinegar in bottom of cup
2 drops liquid dish soap
cover cup with saran wrap tightly
secure with rubber band around up
poke holes into the plastic wrap with a pencil
set it where you get fruit flies- before you know it- they are in the cup- just like that and can’t get out.
good luck- really in everything. whether anyone will admit it or not we all have some sort of trial in our lives that brings us to the depths of humility and makes us wonder how we will ever get out of it- where we must rely on our Heavenly Father and those around us that love us unconditionally. I know for me- I always have to step out of my comfort zone and do things I wouldn’t normally do or want to do to help myself.
Anyway, not trying to preach- I just can honestly say that I know how you feel. Not exactly with your sweet little lady- but I have a trial in my life that seems it will NEVER go away- EVER. My life is so far from anything I’d ever imagined it to be. I want to live the life I see all the 34 year olds around me living the life I want- but I can’t have. It will always be with me and that is a lot to think about. One day at a time. With help from Heavenly Father and those that love me.
Good luck to you.
