My First Polyvore Experience

How did I JUST discover Polyvore?? Thank you Guter!! I seriously have a new favorite hobby aka obsession. The items used in the sets below were from a limited selection (hence the jade dress in the wedding ensemble which is nothing I'd ever choose if I had more options) because they were part of a contest, which Catherine Gutermuth kindly brought to my attention. Check out my virtual styling... I think for a Polyvore virgin, I did pretty well ;) Soon I'll be a Polywhore yaaay!

Barely Breathing

Sometimes when I think of what I have lost, I feel that I need just one moment to stop and sit down and catch my breath. As I explained to Angela today the feeling of having to push my hurt and shock away constantly because I have class or an interview or a story to write, she said that I need to allow myself the chance to fall apart. I never did that. But now, I'm scared if I do, I'll never get up, I'll never put myself back together. I'm not sure which way to turn. And scarily, it feels completely out of my hands.
