She credits Dabed with giving her life balance. “When you find a partner that motivates you to be a better person, magic happens,” she says simply.

I bought myself a pint of frozen yogurt (Ben & Jerry's) yesterday. It turns out that I'm still not at the ice cream stage yet. All I want to do is drink tea.

My boyfriend and I broke up this evening. I have to say though, in my limited experience with break ups it was the most pleasant break up ever I guess. It still sort of sucks, but I think it was time to let go ( Read more... )
