Emo Izzy has *ICING*

This post is about starting over, and I've decided I'm going to do it with class.

Yes, I can be classy.

Stop laughing.

Anyway, let me pose a question or two:

Has a situation left you feeling as if you were tossed from a ship, beaten up by the waves, and washed up on shore?


Have you ever been sick to death of bending over backwards for people when they remain rigid?

I was, and I decided it was time to step back and take a really good look at myself.

I found some strength I had hidden deep down inside...

...and drew up the courage to walk away.

It was remarkably freeing. I felt like I could have fun once again.

Now I have my whole life ahead of me, and I'm going to dive back in the water head first.

Wish me luck.
