Building Barriers With Tissues


There is a reason to my insanity. I have had a tremendous amount of drama and stress in my life. But what I take in with the bad I make equally better with the good in my life. I am generally a happy person. I have the love of my life by my side. I have family and friends who have been their for me when I truly needed them most. I try not to hold grudges and try to shake those who do me wrong. I am not a vindictive person. I don't do things to push buttons and go below the belts to hurt those I care about. I can always admit I am wrong. I can learn to grow up and say sorry. All I ask is people do the same and learn to respect me and my family. If I built a wall it's because the trust was knocked down. If I hurt you then tell me. I can take criticism. I have taken risks in my life and I take full responsibility for them.


I have discovered that my trust has taken a seat. I feel more aware of my surroundings. I won't let people walk all over me.

I have learned that family only truly exist when they go above and beyond and pick up the phone just to see how you are doing and lend a hand if you need someone to pull you up.

I have built barriers recently because I have chosen to. I have a whole new life that I deeply love. I would never do anything to hurt her. I will always be there for her. I will always be in her life. I will continue to be a strong wife and soon a mother.

I love my life because I chose it.
I wish people would just see that.

Feeling Whole Again

Everyday is just another day to heal, be stronger and teach myself to let go and breath. I lost a piece of me this year and I am trying to put it back together. I almost stopped recognizing who I was their for a while. In a sense it made me find my focus. Finally figuring out what this grown up wants to be when she really grows up. Feels like it may take me forever and ever but at least I finally have a goal.   So back to school all while being a wife and mom. Keeps me busy but also keeps me focused.  The littlest things in life have meant the most to me these past few months. Had an enjoyable summer and just did fun and off the wall things I would have never done. Found myself in a sense and have loved every moment. This summer was dubbed "summer of Chantel"  A summer of fun relaxing times.  Now the fall is here. My favorite time of year. To get cozy and cuddle and drink warm beverages. I love when the weather turns. I'm a Utahn through and through. I love sweaters,...

My Worst Best Thing

Here I am laying in bed. I'm in my grandparents house. Everything is quiet and then there are sounds. The wind is blowing and I can hear my heart beating. I'm staring at the ceiling fan and I'm taking deep breaths. I'm looking back on the last year and I'm finally feeling a relief. I managed to break myself some how. I felt compelled to leave my marriage and to leave a certain kind of my life. I found myself unhappy beyond words. Lying to myself that it would all be okay. When I was actually trying to crawl out of my own skin. The only place I found comfort was work. Not a healthy way to live in my opinion. Lots of people don't know, but I have been separated for some time. I haven't been my best and I haven't been myself. I have been destructive and I lost my integrity somewhere a long the way. Curiosity got the best of me but it taught me a lot about myself. But since being separated I have enjoyed the little things. Being a mom has been the num...

My Child

How you have grown so quickly. How you have turned from this baby into a talking, sassy mischievous being. You are smart, funny and your personality reflects a little of everyone in our DNA. You are incredibly beautiful. My big brown eyed child. One I pictured for years. One I couldn't wait to meet. How you have made my heart bigger in so many ways. How you goof around, make me smile, hug and kiss me when mama really needs it most. How blessed I am to have a little girl so bright and perfect in my eyes. Even with tantrums I still go to bed just full of joy that you are a light in my life. How I could of put having you for 5 more years? You came at the perfect time and I love how you embrace life with a kindred heart. I hope we teach you how to be kind, loving, respectful. I hope you never stop learning, reach for the stars my love because you can be and do anything you want. I will be your cheerleader, I will be your beating bag. I know in the future when you are hormonal a...
