KRISTA'S ADVICE

A while back, a subscriber to my blog asked me for advice dealing with their breakup after I broke up with my boyfriend of almost four years — I answered it, mostly by transcribing a letter from my friend Krista.

After I posted my answer on my YouTube account, I got a surprisingly significant amount of comments/emails about this letter and its supreme wisdom. Many suggested I share this wisdom with the world.

So here we are, with this email that Krista wrote me during my Summer of Extreme Discontent which I still keep around because she was right and it was good. I broke up with the man that I spent four years with.

This is part of her letter to me:

"Even though sometimes the world seems about six sizes too small for our pain, the amazing shit is that no matter how deep purple the bruise is, no matter how dark and overwhelming and miserable and worthless it all seems the world will get a fraction of an inch bigger every day.

Really, every single day.

And you won’t notice it for a long time until suddenly, one day, it’s only five times too small for your pain and then four and then the world will just keep getting larger and larger in comparison to your shattered heart and eventually it will be able to hold it and then it will outgrow it.

And your pain will be just a speck in your world.

It is supposed to feel like the end of the world right now. That, my beautiful dearest Maddie, is how you know that it was worth it. That is why it was one of the relationships that shook your core and after which you will never be the same. That is how you know that you are growing up and learning and growing rather than living safely in risk-free choices….

The world is supposed to feel as though it is ending and you are supposed to know only in the most dormant recesses of the backmost corner of your soul that it will not be like this forever.

You are supposed to feel acutely and lucidly that everything is over that your purpose for life is almost as though worthless, so empty and mislead.... and that not even cheesy pasta and Molly Ringwald movies are going to make you smile, and you are supposed to know opaquely and elusively and abstractly that everything is not over and that your purpose in life is so much huger than you can ever imagine and is still saturated with value and that you will eat pesto and read Stephen Dunn and live in Manhattan and have stacks of waffles at corner diners with girlfriends and spend inordinate amounts of money on bath products and sunbathe on the roof reading trashy novels and you will will will will will will will love again.

I did not think that I was going to be able to ever breathe without shaking again after J broke up with me... but you do.

That is what you are supposed to think.

I cried hysterically for months.

I wept so much that I had stewardesses on planes ask me if I needed oxygen, I had waitresses refuse to serve me, I had strangers approach me with offers of help.

Then I stopped.

Then I started again and stopped again and started again and then stopped for good…

… I promise you will survive, and with more grace than you can now imagine and that you will have more grit and vision because of it.

Moral: Sometimes someone can crack open something that feels very safe and make you unreasonably vulnerable: you will live to tell the story of this shock."

That was nearly four years ago that Krista wrote this to me. Beautiful advice!!!

PEACE & LOVE,
Madalaine Marie

The Heart Wants..

The heart wants what the heart wants.

That's not always going to be just one thing: one career, one idea, one dream, one person. 

In time you will find out.

It's Your Own

There are things you don't tell people. You keep it between you and one person. . That's it.  As a means of respect. It's YOUR GUYS' OWN. 

& besides, other people wouldn't get it like you guys do, anyway.

Red, Blotchy, & Bitchy

#Allergies, you bitch!! >:'O

I've taken all I can take,

Bitched all I can bitch,

#Red #Blotchy & #Bitchy

. . Allergies are SOO ANNOYING! And ya only truly know this . . if ya got them. I can't sleep!!!!! >:O

Don't get me wrong - I'm really thankful for my good days, but, well.... bad days are all too often!

What do ya do when 2 Reactin doesn't work well? >:O

I feel bad for other seasonal allergy sufferers and animals too? WHHHHY ME????!!

Gone

I'm holding back a flood of tears just thinking about those happy years.

Like all the good times that are no more my love is gone, gone, gone forevermore

Silence so deep only my soul can hear says now the past is what I fear

The future isn't what it used to be

Only today; is all that's promised me

Flow on river of time

Wash away the pain and heal my mind

Flow on river of time,

Carry me away and leave it all far behind

Flow on river of time 

 

We're all driven by the winds of change

Seems like nothing ever stays the same :'(

We All Get Lonely Sometimes

You can have tons of guys/girls after you..

But if none ever seem of great interest to [ you ] it can get quite lonely.

One thing I will never do is lower my standards. I think I'm possibly on the wrong side of the world or something?

Where's all the super tall, hardworking, sweep-me-off-my-feet, give me butterflies 'til I almost faint, swim a sea and jog a dessert's length for me, funny, compassionate, very intelligent, non-drinking, healthy, Jesus-loving, musicians out there?

My List of Don't's At Work!

MY List of DON'Ts At Work

#1 - NEVER talk about distasteful things IN FRONT OF CUSTOMERS (for obvious reasons) I don't want to hear it either! #2 - DON'T come to work when you're contagious with something! Think about the health of everyone, young and elderly alike.... #3 - DON'T say, "I'm going on a smoke break" - it's called a COFFEE break! #4 - Don't blow your nose where customers can see you! Be courteous! #5 - Continuously wash your hands if sick! The worst of stuff on your hands is the stuff you can't see. #6 - NO STANDING AROUND! #7 - Souly come to care for the company (it's well-being and success) because if you don't, you DO NOT belong there! #8 - Sarcasm - don't use it towards someone else when working in ear shot of customers! #9 - Never talk badly about anyone! I don't care if its your neighbor or close friend you are talking with - this is work! Do it in the privacy of your own home! #10 - Lastly, and this is a random one, but seriously, if you spill milk in the cooler - do clean it up A.S.A.P! I don't mind doing it for you if I have the time and actually am aware of it, but it needs to be cleaned right away so it doesn't dry and start to smell like a dairy barn. ALWAYS WORK HARD AND LOVE WHAT YOU DO! Madalaine Marie

Short & Sweet, My Food For Thought of The Day

I don't want my children to fall into the norm... be what's considered "normal" in today's world....
And you ask,

"What? Why?"

Simple. Because normal is what at least 50% of the population is, which is, unfortunately, in today's day in age, not-so-civilized (to put it nicely).

I'm looking to raise my children to be their own person, all-around decent and certainly not made according to the outline of, "today's norm"

Try and argue that. You can't. Not if you have the decency to [understand] that today's world isn't the greatest as it stands. It needs a lot of work!

I Love Children! This is Cute!

THIS IS ABSOLUTLEY ADORABLE, my cousin posted this yesterday:

"We were having a little talk about lying when little man was asked if he had to poop on potty and he said no and then pooped in his pants. 

Mommy "If you didn't have to poop then what is this?" Pointing at poop in diaper

Isaac "A lie"

Being Reasonable, No?

So pretty much for everyday I don't see them, I have to have a big fat juicy reason for not being ABLE to, or ELSE....

If ever it's by choice I should not want to hang out for a day, two days, whatever... they flip and I'm a *bad guy*

Wow. Maybe I'm just tired. Maybe I want to spend a few days with my family. But I know....

They'll really go the distance to see me, well, I make time to see them. A lot lately, actually! So why should I get in shit for not being able to see them for one weekend; or early next week.

All I can say is, honey, first and foremost, make sure I want your company every time you do try and surprise me or push me off the edge with reasons why our visit last week was just too short...... It has gotten to be a little too much over the last while and my head is going to explode! A clingy friend or am I just being dumb?
