Hey beautiful Tumblr followers: 

It has been FOREVER since I have posted. A lot of memories are on here and I decided to take a step back and just heal properly. 

I have been CRAZILY working on my thesis, so I can graduate in August! I have also been appointed the Executive Director for Relay for Life at MTSU. It is their 1st ever Relay and I am so excited to be leading the committee to a VERY SUCCESSFUL event! 

With that being said, Relay for Life is an overnight event that raises money for the American Cancer Society and it’s efforts in research, advocacy and providing programs and services. Our event is still seeking some financial support and I would greatly appreciate any donation that you can make. Cancer LITERALLY affects everyone and let’s be the generation that puts an end to the phrase, “You Have Cancer.”

Please consider supporting us at http://main.acsevents.org/goto/alexandramalvarez

No donation is too little! 

Thanks and MUCH TUMBLR LOVE <3

As the year ends I am looking back on how insane this past year has been. How I have loved and then lost and how I have grown in many ways.

And even though I am so blessed and grateful, I still wish I was spending my New Years with the one person I still love.

Grr life.

Oh how I feel the cynicism slowly taking over me.

At least this time around I’m more apathetic than last time….

I was a fool.

Every storm runs, runs out of rain
Just like every dark night turns into day
Every heartache will fade away
Just like every storm runs, runs out of rain

It’s been 5 months since Chris and I have seen each other - thanks Army. It’s been a roller coaster of trying to plan a mini vacation, but his field training and him still not getting paid ALWAYS gets in the way.

So I am just tired of all the “almost” trips, so I am headed up to Louisville in 2 weeks. My good friend Kim asked me to help her move, and it just so happens that Chris is based 20 min outside of Louisville.

It’s time to see whether or not our feelings are still there after this time. I know that I personally have gotten more fond of him as time has passed. That stupid cliche phrase, “Distance makes the heart grow fonder” might actually have some substance.

I mean, we talk a lot during the week and we haven’t stopped communicating since the moment we decided to take a break - thanks to the Army again.

But if there is ANYTHING I learned while we have been a part, it is that our relationship is ours, and I should not compare it to anyone else’s. It’s definitely not your normal relationship, but what is normal anyways. I love what we have and who we are as a couple. It doesn’t matter how complicated and ridiculous it sounds out loud. Love is sometimes enough.

Anyways, just needed somewhere to vent.
