The best decision I ever made was to start turning off my phone when I go to sleep at night. Anything anyone wants to tell me can be told between the hours of 6:30am and 10:30pm.

I think I should put that on my voicemail. Like those annoying voicemails when offices are closed.

"You have reached the voicemail of Lisa Stratton. My eyes are currently closed. Please call back between between the hours of 6:30am and 10:30pm and I would be happy to assist you. If you need immediate attention...well...you're screwed because I only have one phone number. Thank you."

Adventures of a Single 22-Year Old: There's More to Me than You

I hope that today will be the last day I have to deal with my ex-"fiancee". Jessica Andrews couldn't have said it better....

I spent years and all this time thinking I was better off cuz you were mine
You always said it was your way or the highway
So I'm shiftin my life into drive
I'm getting out, kissing the past good-bye
Like Toby said, "How do you like me now?"
This conversation has run dry

And I keep telling myself
There's more to me than you
Don't underestimate what I can do
Well I'm alright, it's okay
I know I'll make it through
Cuz there's more to me than you

I'm not saying I'm battered and bruised
but I might as well be with the words you used
I believe in myself, that makes me stronger

Things changed and so have I
I'm gonna make hay while the sun still shines
You can clip my wings, but I'm still gonna fly
I'm on my own and on my way
And I keep telling myself

There's more to me than you
Don't underestimate what I can do
Well I'm alright, it's okayI know I'll make it through
Cuz there's more to me than you

There's always something that meant more to you than me
And I'm just sorry it's taking this for you to see

There's more to me than you
Don't underestimate what I can do
Well I'm alright, it's okay
I know I'll make it through
Cuz there's more to me than you
