Why? We say things that we know will hurt others. We act in ways that we know would hurt others. But for what? What satisfaction does it bring? Happiness? Joy? Pleasure? Do we get a high out of fighting with others? That we simply don't notice until the fight is done and over with? All I know it that I physically cannot take it anymore. I am breaking down. It's NOT fair. For anyone. 
Words are singularly the most powerful force available to humanity. We can choose to use this force constructively with words of encouragement, or destructively using words of despair. Words have energy and power with the ability to help, to heal, to hinder, to hurt, to harm, to humiliate and to humble.
Yehuda Berg
Just remember, YOU have the choice construct or destruct someone. There is a limit as to what to say to someone, if you have to think "should I say this?" DO NOT say it. It WILL hurt them in some way shape or form. They may not show it right away, but it hurts, a lot. And it will dwell on them for a very long time. But if you're like me and you speak before you think, work on it. It's a hard thing to work on, trust me, I know. But it needs to be done. This needs to stop. Just think how upset you get when someone fights with you, now times that by 20, because we never truly know how much we are hurting that person. No one says everything, and they certainly won't tell you after taking away any sense of security that they built up with you

Brittany 

Hey everyone! I'm Brittany, the one behind the blog. I am 21 years old, fiance to Rich and mother to Breella. I have two cats, Lola and Lilo- I'm sure you will see a few pictures of them here and there! I love to sing and play guitar, eventually I hope to finally live my dreams of being a singer, but for now I work at my uncles... baby steps right? Our wedding is next May so I will be needing any advice possible! I am really loud and outgoing. I love meeting new people and getting to know them. I do say too much sometimes but I am just an honest and blunt person. DO NOT take it personally! I love you all and thanks for being a part of our lives  

Rich
This is Rich, my fiance and Breella's father. He's 25 and does all of the behind the scenes with my blog. And by behind the scenes I mean, he just sits next to me watching baseball while I type. Rich works as a yard manager for a recycling company, he works long hours but I can't get mad, he pays the bills! He may seem like a quiet and reserved guy, but trust me once you break his wall, he does NOT stop talking! Like me, Rich is humorous and loves to laugh and have fun which I think is why we get along and click so well. We have known each other for almost 7 years now. August will make it officially 7 years! I basically grew up with him in my life as weird and crazy as that sounds. And now we're getting married, living together and we have our own bundle of joy!

Breella
 And last but never, ever least-- this is Breella, our pride and joy. Breella was born on Valentine's Day of 2014! She was supposed to be born on St. Patrick's day but decided she wanted to come 5 weeks early instead. She was born via C-section and was perfectly healthy, although staying the entire time in the NICU (hospital policies if born before 36 weeks), she was able to come home with us! She's now 5 months old, sitting up, rolling from back to front, eating "solids" and talking up a storm. She is our perfect baby and it is amazing to watch her grow each day. I will post frequent updates and pictures of Breella too!
