It's almost as if . . .


...the little girl inside me doesn't want to give up the dream of what she thought her life was going to be like, what she thought her life was supposed to be like.

But if I don't let go of her dreams, I may never find
that mine could be a million times better.



*a comment I left on La Belette Rouge this evening while reading all of your remarkable comments and stories on my preggo post that sparked a true insight as to why I may be holding on so tightly ...thank you

I love your quote. I think it rings true for everyone. Hopefully, these detours from our previous dreams happen for a reason, and hopefully, they lead to something pretty darn good.

~Mrs. Guru~ said...

Very good quote.

Brown Girl said...

So true, so very very true.

Wonderful quote!!!

The Rest is Still Unwritten said...

I hate that you are struggling with that and can't imagine having to let go of that dream but finding out what your life truly holds can be just as exciting.

Mommy In Pink said...

Very well said!

Lindsay said...

Wow, this almost sounds like something I need to do...

Thank you, very well said.

Summer said...

Very insightful...

I just want to believe that there is a way to do both. To hold on to the hope of your dream, but also allow in the possibility of new ones.

We lose ourself when we lose hope.

That's why I gave Chloe the middle name hope, because I want her to remember to never ever give that up.

Hang in there girlie....

And remember, you can always come down to SD and hang with mine. That might make you feel somewhat better!

Or better yet, I can drop Tay off with you guys for a weekend....

Char said...

it is difficult giving up on dreams but, sometimes you have to do that to make way for new dreams.

Milly said...

Good One....I agree!

Chessa! said...

this is why I love the blogging world so much...It brings so many incredible people together. and who knew that an unknown and invisible support system was out there? amazing.

I love this because it is so true and strikes a cord in everyone. I am constantly struggling with this inside, and no one seems to understand, so thank you for putting it into words for me! It is so hard to give up what I "thought" I would be, and instead become what I am "supposed" to be. Thank you again- you made my day! Hope you have a great weekend :) XO

I think that is one of the most amazing things I have read!

♥ Tiffany ♥ said...

i always say thats its not giving your dreams, its just getting new ones. love you ad your blog!

Geoff and McCaulie said...

one word . . . inspiring.

Gary Heller said...

Sometimes we have to look ahead and leave some of our dreams behind. As Tiffany said we just get knew ones. It does not mean that the dream is off the burner though, and many times they still come about when we least expect.
Its not a closed book. Stuff happens.

~alison said...

Perfectly put.

I think there isn't a need to let go of the dream of having your own child because I think it is POSSIBLE! (Without all the mumbo jumbo of fertility treatments!)

My suggestion: Try EVERYTHING before you give up...if that is what you truly want.

Great Quote!

TERI REES WANG said...

You are not the soul of a caged bird.
You are free to be more than you thought you might be.
Release her.
Open your mind,
... and you body will follow.

Crack the shell, my dear.
No fear!

Megan said...

I. Love. That.

It will come. And when it does, you will be an amazzzzing mother.

Iva said...

Beautiful. So very well said..and so true.

Kellie said...

That, my dear, is such a perfect statement.

If it's meant to be, it will be. Enjoy life as it is right now!

Marbella Designs said...

wonderful, just live life one day at a time
have a great weekend

stacy said...

wow! very well put.

besswess said...

This was perfect. So often, I get down because life doesn't happen how I had always planned it would. Oh well. I have found that these little changes that I didn't agree with have made my life all the more real and fulfilling!

Tee said...

wow, great inspirational post!

Sher said...

Oh God! How true!

Big Red said...

AMEN SISTAH!!!

Nicole Marie said...

strangely this fits right into my life right now too. our lives are perfectly planned. we don't walk through life knowing exactly what will happen, when and what we want with our life. and that's kind of the fun part.

but i really do encourage you to at least start looking at adoption agencies. it takes awhile for all the paperwork, home studies etc so you would still have awhile to make a decision before adopting.

Mrs. Realife said...

my sweet friend... I'm hearing your heart -- What incredible insight...

Hanako66 said...

that makes so much sense...how are you so rational? :)

K @ Blog Goggles said...

Amen, hon. I can't wait to see what it is!

Sasha said...

ohh my..so so true!!!

I'm a regular reader of your blog. And while we have never met, I feel you present yourself here exactly as you must be in real life- beautiful, talented, witty and very, very normal. All of us have the times we wonder "why me" or go a little nutty. The answer always comes to you. It may not be the exact answer you were looking for or even in the form you were expecting. Still it'll come to you. And I can only imagine that good things are in your future. So I say hold on to your dreams but search for new ones too. xx
