My best friend ghosted me

Right before my wedding. She was one of those friends that got my sense of humor and we had similar struggles. We didn’t talk everyday but that’s because we had young kids. Things got crazy. One day I called and texted her to ask when we would go through the trial run with my hair for the wedding. She never answered. I tried for days, then my wedding past and still nothing. Slowly I stopped trying because I felt like I should’ve known she wanted space. I deleted her on everything because it was too painful to watch her life but not be apart of if or even be true friends. It took me years to realize it wasn’t me. I felt like I could’ve done more, listened more, been there more, help her more but then I just had to let go of that. If it meant she was happier then I would be willing to let go of that friendship. But as you can imagine, the years went by and when I would normally call or text my best friend she wasn’t there to do that anymore. It got lonely as a new mom. January 1st is Rob and I’s anniversary— it’ll be four years. She messaged me for the first time this week. Her ex husband died of covid complications. My heart hurts for her and her daughter. It’s been nice to be there for her though. I really, really, missed that. There’s more to the story and I’ll leave her side unsaid due to privacy. But life is fucking wild.

Is it tacky having your plate of food on your feed? Eh, it’s okay. I would do it every day. 😂 It’s not just about food (although a huge perk) but about recognizing our blessings. It doesn’t need to be Thanksgiving to practice gratitude. It’s a beautiful day to be alive. https://www.instagram.com/p/CIEvgm7hHo9O2jXVgZBljhUCPOL1o-k9jwn86o0/?igshid=4xbqgbsgfji7

Lola hasn’t been showing much interest in nursing anymore. I could probably get closer to 24 months like Nico but Lola has always been more of a foodie. Especially with this virus going around I wouldn’t mind giving her all the benefits of breast milk. I’ve been incredibly lucky to have been able to nurse both of my babies with minimal problems. It’s not something I take for granted for one second. It’s a journey I’m always going to cherish. This is such a bittersweet moment weaning my last baby but also I’m looking forward to my body being my own again. https://www.instagram.com/p/B_dtD_eBLkJ/?igshid=17bsviym85tmv

Sharing old photos again. I’ve been loving having Nico at home all day the past few weeks. Nico going to school was harder on me than her. Although I’m pretty certain when school starts back up I’ll be crying some happy tears. https://www.instagram.com/p/B-4p7plhYrz/?igshid=n1fcsbmo8ewn

My house is crazy. Kids are screaming and here I am daydreaming about the ocean. I miss my family, Puerto Rico beaches, and everything in between. https://www.instagram.com/p/B-1-4KaBd0j/?igshid=pjz0ac0j0kh1

This season of life has been extremely difficult and one of the only things that brings me comfort is knowing I’m not alone. And although it’s been hella hard I wake up every day grateful. Do you guys remember when we all complained of 2019 and we were all so hopeful of 2020? Hahaha Joke’s on us. https://www.instagram.com/p/B-uoNeABiTa/?igshid=18v6h96xnd82e

the faces of the zodiac signs

check your rising and/or sun sign. many people say the sun sign doesn’t show in your physical appearance, but the list here is mostly based on my personal observations of the expression of the sun sign in people’s looks

aries: baby face// being first in the zodiac, therefore the astro babies, aries people often have small, soft features that emanate innocence and their manners and gestures look very natural and unrestrained by the constant worry of how people perceive us that comes with adulthood. 

taurus: sensual face// being ruled by venus and earth, taurus people carry with them a deep and profound sensuality that can’t be mistaken. they usually have beautiful ovals, well-shaped lips with a specific cupid bow, elegant eyebrows and expressive eyes. their face speaks about symmetry and pleasure.

gemini: rodent face// let’s face the facts, folks - gemini people do look like rodents. sharp, cute and animated. can go from looking extremely mischievous to deeply thoughtful in the span of 1.5 seconds. if you see a person that looks as if they can chew down a carrot real fast like a rabbit, it’s quite possibly a gemini.

cancer: moon face// it’s no joke when i’m telling you every time i see a person with cancer sun/rising, my first thought is like “they look like the moon”. they have rounder faces, smooth looking, their bone structure is not too defined and sharp, and whenever it is more visible it’s in the delicate, mysterious way we see protruding craters and their shadows on the moon. the overall impression is of serene and peaceful beauty that remains mysterious in the way it reflects you without revealing its secrets.

leo: confident face// this sign was the hardest for me to pinpoint. it’s like all leos have something similar in their faces, but i can’t quite put a finger on it. they emanate some sort of stability, something fixed and secure, but also it’s not an earthy vibe - as usually earth is related to stability - but something more…arrogant, less practical. the leo face doesn’t say “i have made preparations to deal with everything”, it says “i was kissed by god so i can deal with shit, yeah”.

virgo: poker face// their expression is close to scorpio’s but without the threatening mean streak. virgos don’t really look mean, they don’t appear invulnerable like scorpios do - they look untouchable. it’s not like nothing can hurt them or they can survive it, on the contrary, there is quite a bit of tenderness about them - it’s just that you can’t get on their level in order to touch them. they are the hardest ones to read.

libra: balanced face// venus ruled people are beautiful and that’s just facts. even if their features aren’t particularly striking, libras always have a lot of balance between the different parts of their face. key word is congruence - both in character and face. they’re usually very symmetric and have a pleasing, inviting vibe.

scorpio: bitch face// come on, y’all probably expected that anyway. it’s true tho, i mean, these people just look invulnerable and if they always got something up their sleeve that gives them leverage. the deep trust in their own ability to survive gives them an intimidating look.

sagittarius: know-it-all face// do you ever just look at someone and immediately know they believe they got all the facts on everything? rest assured they got some sagittarius shit going on. these people just look so smug and self-assured but not in the in-your-face way aries and leo do, but more like…”i don’t need your recognition for my knowledge. i just know better and that’s that on that”.

capricorn: doll face// now this is something i’ve noticed most about capricorn risings but it’s true for some suns too - they have doll-like features. and they keep looking more and more youthful and mesmerizing with time. they have these well-shaped clean features and a still and sad kind of beauty that looks a bit as if it was painted on their face.

aquarius: long face// or should i say “sad face”? cuz honestly, these people emanate a feeling of quiet sorrow most of the time. i feel as if the saturn influence is more obvious in aquarius than in capricorn. they may struggle a lot with expressing more positive emotions as they tend to look serious, deep in thought and a bit tortured, especially when they’re with people. however, one can often spot an aquarius rising by the little half-smile they have on when they’re just walking down the street minding their own business. 

pisces: spaced-out face// hazy, dreamy, dissociated - these are all words i’d use to describe the pisces face. they look like they’re not quite what’s going on and where they are, but they know something else…something you don’t, something no one else does. they have unreadable eyes, it’s like they’re disconnected from reality (which they very well might be).
