Balance...

It's all about the balance...the evil and the good....the angel and the devil.....the giving and the receiving....the good and the bad...the happy and the sad...the serious and the sarcasm.....the laughing so hard you wanna pee your pants and the crying so hard you become dehydrated.....the comforts and the sacrifices.....the healthy and the treats....the addict and the recovery......the motivation and the lazy days....the love and the anger....


Is anyone ever really balanced? Is it even possible? Ying and Yang? For reals? What I do know and have learned in my many years alive...balance can ONLY be found within yourself for yourself. You can not love another human being until you fully love yourself. You can not fully love yourself until you find a happy balance within.  You have to work for it. You have to search for it. It will not be handed to you in a little blue bag..he he...just sayin....it has to be discovered and worked for by each individual being on your own.  And if you're SUPER lucky, like a certain little girl I know (don't want to name names but her name starts with an Ana and ends with a bella) you'll grow up with parents who teach you and instill it in you from birth...so that you know no other life besides a balanced one.


Balance...god dam balance.


My wish for Anabella: To be a happy, content, loving, well balanced toddler, child, girl, and woman long before she ever tries to share herself and her life with another human being.  The good news is, I think we're on the right track. I'm so proud of my sweet bean.
