MY LIFE IN 6-WORD PHRASES

Here I lay here I’ll stay

Travel makes my mind go soaring

Ignorant brains are for ignorant people

I found my toes digging sand

My fingernails will always be colored

Rings are the size of hearts

Habits can always be mildly broken

Phones, computers not part of life

Wishes at specific times come true

Dancing makes my heart beat faster

I found my song when born

Bubble wrap pops to a beat

Chim chimney plays in my head

I will always water the plants

Dishes only started as a chore

Falling off trees takes its toll

I only lied once about yoyos

The sun is so much brighter

Winter is fun for two weeks

I saw dolphins then saw love

My heart broke now it’s mended

I like when he tests me

Give me a sentence I’ll analyze

I could sit and watch movies

My life is set in adventure

Sometimes Hollywood plays in my backyard

Fanatic of arts fanatic of science

I shrank when I saw you

Laying down on floors feels nice

Maybe Indian style for my life

Shading my eyes and locking pinkies

Makes me laugh until I cry

Four-leaf clovers are special and rare

Blow on fire watch it grow

Some days I cry, feels good

Laughing is medicine even when happy

Amazing when minds go completely blank

Tip-toe to make sure you’re okay

Didn’t remember owning her sentimental nightstand

Sleep all day in the pool

Mountain scents, one of a kind

I’ll be the one to carry

Ironically, he makes me feel bigger

I NEED YOU TO JUST...RELAX.

Do you ever have moments when everything seems so intense, and there is so much of the intensity? It's as though someone is shining 100 flashlights on you, and you just can't take the brightness anymore. And sometimes, you don't know where to go to get away from it all. Do you listen to music, do you read, do you run around, watch tv, or even just try to sleep it off? There are so many different ways to vent. Sometimes even just screaming in a pillow helps. But sometimes... it's a lot easier to just sit down and sort through each piece one by one. Take a breather, calm down, and figure it all out. Because no matter what you do or where you go, everything will end up following you. At some point, you WILL have to deal with turning each of those flashlights off. And as long as you can calmly face each one individually, you shouldn't have a problem.

XoXo,

REDIRECTED

It seems to me that every day twists and turns into a new road.  One day, I'm lead to a decision that will change the whole scenery.  And other days, I'm lead to believe that the unfamiliar territory has been with me all along.  Maybe that's just the crazy path I have happened upon.  Sometimes it seems as though I'm walking along this path just to take a stroll.  Just to see what might be outside.  But sometimes I find myself racing against nothing, passing every single rose without bending over to catch its scent, the trees on the sidelines just a blur of nature.  I don't really understand what controls this road.  Most people say that we choose our own path.  Other times, though, it feels like the path has chosen me.  Like I've ended up somewhere without knowing where the road even started.  Yet somehow, I have found myself to be okay with that fact.  I realize now that whoever or whatever controls the random path of my life, I can be comfortable.  I know that in the end, I get the final say.  No matter where I end up, I get to decide if I like it or not.  And I am the one to change that.

LOOK FOR THE GOOD

I'm going to admit it:  I wasn't looking forward to starting the school year back up.  As amazing as my freshman year had been, it was also equally as bothersome due to many ridiculous reasons.  Summer came and it felt like a fresh start.  I could relax.  I could be myself without worrying who that was and if people would judge.  I felt good again.

So when it came time to start getting ready to move back, I began to worry.  Was this really what I wanted?  Did I want to spend my year at a place that caused so much drama and negativity in my life just months before?

But before I could even make those kinds of decisions, I was back.  And now, having lived in my new apartment with my old friends, I can safely say that I am happy.  Maybe even ecstatic.  I did not expect the year to start off on such an incredible note.  

Sometimes we leap to conclusions before looking at all of the possibilities.  I realize now that I was basing my future off of my past, and that can be one of the most dangerous ways of going about life.  I'm not saying that using caution and second guessing yourself is wrong.  But sometimes, it's important to really try to see things for what they really are.  And this doesn't just apply to moving back to school.

Maybe last year, had people really taken a look at what was going on around them, friends wouldn't have been lost.  Things wouldn't have been said and people wouldn't have been hurt.  But that is the past.  We can't look at the past and expect the same for the future just because things are related.  Just because we are with the same people or in the same place.  Things change.  We need to accept them for what they are and look for all of the good that can come out of them.  Always try to stay positive and hope for the best.  Negative thoughts will not help in any situation.

Be who you are.  Do what you do.  And live for the present.

TWISTING TIME

I know I haven't posted recently. Don't hate.

This next section is really meant for a couple of friends, but I believe that everybody should read it and understand it and take it for what it's worth.

Sometimes relationships just end.  There is no rhyme or reason to it.  Sometimes the girl truly does want to find herself, and sometimes that takes more one-on-one time ... alone.  We can't always get what we want or change people's minds when we don't.  We aren't always what they need.  No matter how in-love and connected two people are, they are separate.  Different minds, different hearts.  And sometimes, they change.  And that is okay.  The cycle of life has an odd way of twisting and turning to eventually fix itself.  Even though it may not seem like it at the moment, you will be okay.  As difficult as it may be right now, you may just have to lay trust in the old saying:  Time heals all wounds.

just remember

love possesses nothing

nor would it ever be possessed

and think not you can direct the course of 

love itself directs the course allowed

A BRAIN-DEAD BLOG

Sometimes I just don't know what to write.  I really do have all of these ideas bubbling in my mind, ready to explode onto paper and into my blog.  I want to share them with you.  But sometimes...I just don't know how to say it all.  Usually what happens is that I go brain-dead for awhile, and then I will randomly begin to write something.  Then I won't be able to stop.  Who knows...it could happen to me any second.

I'm really excited to have a blog, though.  I've gotten really good feedback.  I'm so happy to share all of my thoughts with everybody in my own time.  It's a good feeling.  You should try it.

Anyways, I'll try to think of something to post.  Wish me luck.  (Don't be surprised if you end up seeing ten posts after this on the same day...or zero.  It's just how my mind works.)
