11. The Reversed Nails

Greetings readers!

Today was a long day, but not in a good way necessarily. I woke up and just felt extreme self doubt and defeat, with awful words/memories echoing through my head. Today, I felt as though I hit rock bottom. During my breakdown, one of my friends called, and like a good friend that she is, she tried to reassure me that 2013 was going to be unlike the past 2 years of my life; 2013 is supposed to be my year, it's going to be great. After the breakdown, I applied to jobs for probably a good 6-7 hours. Applying for jobs right now, is equivalent to a full-time job for me, except it goes beyond the normal 8:30am-5:00pm window. Seldom taking breaks, the days turn into very long emotional, draining hours.

Thankfully, my mom came home and made a delicious meal, which definitely helped with the pain. It was better than my earlier consumption of ice-cream at about noon. *Note to self: Avoid ice-cream, chocolate, sweets, and salty purchases when unemployed, for it never ends well.*

With the delicious meal in my belly, bridal shower plans underway (I finally made headway with it today!), and my Tuesday night TV about to start, I figured painting my nails would brighten my day!

As you've all probably seen, the new trend is to paint 8 nails of a certain color and have your left and right ring finger a different color. Normally, I do all 8 nails bright, and 2 dark ones; however, I saw an inspiration photo the other day via Pinterest and felt the need to follow along.

The Inspiration.

I love this color combination! Just a touch of sparkle to brighten your day- ha, no pun intended.

The Pinspirable.

Unfortunately, I don't have any silver polish like that. The silver polish is on my, "What I'm going to purchase when I have a job." And I wish I could say that list doesn't exist, but no... it does, in a Word document on my desktop. This little pick-me-up gold reminds me of how life is for me right now. The gray is the every day struggles, the hardships, the shadows, and some day I'm going to see the light at the end of the tunnel and maybe things will turn around, or maybe they won't. Oh, this journey called life... ha!

I apologize for my not-so-shiny mood today... maybe tomorrow will be my touch of gold?

Till next time,
Bells
