mmhmm

If it’s raining, I’ll be on my way back home.  I can’t bear to sit through another storm. But I’ll tell you one thing, you live and you learn. I’ll learn to love each rainbow again. Take me back to a time where we were carefree.  We ran, we jumped, we sang, we danced, we imagined.  We believed in every possibility and therefore every possibility had endless possibilities.  My dream comes from a moment of serenity. With the road at my feet, standing underneath the stars, I will scream every secret to the moon. Why do you think the sky lights up the top of each building when focusing on a city from afar?  Picture you’re dreams just being a reach away.  Each and every one of us deserves to smile for no reason, but to have a reason to fill up a heart, and to spread the contents of that heart with the rest of the world.  Find me wild, with a frazzled brain, but I’m not willing to give up on myself. Showers of tears swallow my face to help release the negativity that has been trapped in this heart of mine.  I don’t mind, because I’m warm inside.   Don’t tell me not to run, don’t nail me down.  I’m only better from this, so I’ll take that now and leave.  I’ll start my journey again and again until I get it right. Sir, smile.


The tragedies of chemistry, people dream of what you and me have found. <3


GIRL, I really hope you got what you wanted.  Atleast one of us deserves to win...right? SHIT.

A Blast From The Past, A Journey To The Future :)

Although I’m finding comfort in the new lifestyle I’m living, it doesn’t change the fact that I miss many aspects of what used to be.  So many people have come into my life over these brief 24 years, and I’ve learned so much from each and every one of them.  Life has made it difficult to stay constantly in touch with each and every one of these special individuals and that simply hurts my heart.   Just over the past few years I’ve experienced so much with so many and those memories will forever be cherished.  Some may not even know what an impact they’ve left on my soul.  So here’s a dedication to just a few of the memories and those who helped create them.  I feel truly blessed and although I can become overwhelmed with life at times, I know that there are many more memories to be made.  I can’t wait to see what the future holds.

the food pantry.

So, as I’m frantically attempting to get everything accomplished for this new job I’ve recently started, I’ve once again been graced with deeper thought processes than the normal human being.  Only natural, when it’s coming from this brain of mine, I suppose.  In my effort to find an ATM to retrieve just enough money to allow for the most expensive background check I’ve ever heard of, I somehow ended up in the GHETTO.  Although I was running late and my GPS was taking me way out of the way, I was still excited to be trapped in a world where everything was just a little bit different than what I was used to.  Knowing that I’m not in the safest of neighborhoods always tends to excite me.  After passing numerous cops and seeing a lady passed out on the front steps of a worn-down apartment complex, I was almost compelled to just drive around a little bit longer to take in all the differences this area had to offer.  Although I stuck out like a sore thumb with my windows down and blasting Miranda Lambert, I didn’t care.  Something specific caught my eye though.  It was a local food pantry on the side of the road with about 50 people standing/sitting in a jagged line outside two old wooden doors.  With an array of ages, I was caught most off guard by the children that were slumped over in 90 degree weather waiting for what probably seemed to be an eternity to gather food.  I’ve fed the homeless and helped the needy for many different organizations but this seemed to be a little different for some reason.  I immediately took a mental note of this, along with the location and decided that I was going to find a way to help.  Therefore, Anthony and I have decided to give back a little by working a some volunteer work into our schedule.  Something I haven’t done since I’ve moved to Columbus, and I can tell I’ve truly been lacking that certain something. : )  Even without my “essentials”, I have more than most and I love that in the simple day to day activities I’m reminded of how blessed I really am.  I encourage everyone to try and give back a little; you’ll be surprised what you gain in return.

i dig you.

Increasingly becoming abnormal and I’m finding happiness in just that.  My toenails have never been such a beautiful color, and although I’ve been graced with the presence of different people, I’m not scared.  With the blink of an eye, it could all be gone.  Don’t move too slow, for you may not have enough time.  Don’t move too fast, for you may completely miss the beauty of it all.  Interestingly enough, we don’t have the answers.  You can be brave or live in fear.   Make something of yourself, for yourself.  Those who don’t matter are just faces in the background of your picture book.  The star happens to be you. Laugh all you want, cry all you want, scream all you want, feel.  It’s important.  Magnify your soul; don’t drown it in the pool of the incredibly judgmental society that may surround you.  I turned on all the lights and danced until I couldn’t dance any longer.  Alone, I danced.  Hold my hand, and we’ll skip through the treacherous battles that have proven to nearly be the death of some. I promise to never give up if you can promise to do the same. I dig you; your smile, your laugh, but most importantly, your soul.
