Honesty

I love my husband. I really do. But marriage is one of the most difficult, yet joyful and satisfying things I've ever done or put myself through.

Growing up, I never figured living with someone else would be that big of a deal. Even when I went to college and lived with roommates, I didn't think it was that bad. Of course there were hiccups, but I'm strong and stood my own ground, but I guess the biggest difference is that I want my husband to love me back, I don't want to hurt his feelings, but I didn't care about my roommates, especially not the same way I care about my husband.

This past weekend has been the most difficult time in our marriage. It's been hard - I've been sad, angry, happy, and indifferent. There were even times I didn't know if we would be able to make it through this road bump, and it terrified me. The biggest thing that I had to remember was to keep an open mind. It's hard and sometimes not fair, but it's the only way to make it through.

You also have to be honest. I'm someone that gets angry and quiet. I don't tell you what I'm feeling because I know eventually it will pass and everything will go back to normal. But I knew this time would be different. Through tears, I explained to my husband exactly what I was feeling and it sucked, but I felt relieved. Sometimes you have to be fair to yourself and let the ones you love know how you feel or it'll never get better.

On a completely different note, I have been loving macro images. I love flipping my 50mm around because it changes the way you see things. Here are a few of my favorite images that I took in the last week.
