4/20 snapshot
Even though my ex-boyfriend and I broke up, I am still living with him in Atlanta until we can afford to move me. Since I gave up my Vegas condo to be with him, when I move I will be moving outside the U.S and living as an ex-pat.
Today is the anniversary of my little sister's death. We were never very close but I miss her incredibly.
It is also 4/20 day. I haven't smoked yet today and I'm not sure if I will. While I am quite the pothead, today may be better spent in reflection. We'll see...
I may stop dancing and modeling soon and get a "real job". My background is in marketing..
While the Speed Racer movie is coming out in a few weeks, I just don't feel happy like I should...

6. Getting married is very much like going to a restaurant with friends.You order what you want, and when you see what the other person has, you wish you had ordered that instead.
7. There was this man who muttered a few words in the church and found himself married. A year later he muttered something in his sleep and found himself divorced.
8. A happy marriage is a matter of giving and taking; the husband gives and the wife takes.

12. They say that when a man holds a woman's hand before marriage, it is love; after marriage it is self-defense.

Visiting family
Lately I have gotten to visit much of my family. Seeing myself in them helps me focus on who I am and who I am becoming. Talking to my grandmother about years long past, trying to put myself in her shoes. Same with my mother..
