Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is a time for giving thanks. 
You can be thankful that all your family made it to dinner safe and sound.
You can be thankful that you passed your college exams...
You can be thankful for anything. 
The point is you give thanks and show that you care. 
So with that being said...What do you have to be thankful for this year? 

P.S. I know this is a little late...but I was spending time with family for thanksgiving break, and many know I don't get to see my relatives a lot...so it really meant a lot to me when I get to spend time with them. 

Living an Adult Life

Turning 18 may be big to some people...but to others it's a day where you think to yourself "Wow...this is really it...I'm on my own from here." Trying to remember everything your parents taught you...but your mind goes blank. 

Becoming an adult is a big thing...but it's also very scary. There's just so much responsibility and so much that needs to get done. My mom has made it look so easy...but it's really not. But the only reason why I know I can make it in this world is because my mom said I could. My mom told me that I could be anything I wanted to be when I grew up. She taught me everything I would need to in order to survive. 

So I'm going to live my life...just like she's living her's. And learn from the mistakes I make as an adult. And honestly I hope I make quite a few...because that way next time...I know what to do instead of make another mistake. So here's to the beginning of an adult life...may it bring me peace and understanding. :)

Summer

Summer is the season of beauty and heat. 

Summer is also the season of passion. 

Summer is the season where you can feel the breeze dance across your face. 

Summer is the season where you will feel the sun kissing your skin. 

Summer is the season where you will hear the rolling thunder play it's glorious music.

Summer is the season where you will see the wonderful streaks of lightning in the sky. 

Summer is the season where you can see the fireworks of all different shapes, sizes, and colors in the sky. 

Summer is the season to spend with friends and loved ones. 

Summer is the season to make life long memories that you will never forget. :) 

Head&Heart

Choosing between your head and your heart can be one of the biggest decsions that you ever had to make in your life. Your head is telling you what to do because you have the intelligence to learn and to listen to it. But your heart is telling you what you need. Your heart is telling you what you have sacraficed to get here. Your heart is telling you with everything that you have lost it's only made you that much stronger as a person. Most people like listening to that little voice in their head, but sometimes your heart will lead you in the right direction...not your head.

You'll Be In My Heart, Now And Forever More

In a short period of time alot has happened.
The time has just flown by.
You will never know how much you mean to me.
Because I can't even describe it in words.
Even though there may be rough times ahead of us,
I know that we'll make it through.
It's us against the world.
I don't care what people say.
I don't care what people do.
I don't care what people think.
I don't care what people hear.
Because we know that truth.
We know what's inside our hearts.
We know how things go, even when people don't want to listen.
But I know that you understand now more then ever that I'm writing this for a reason.
And just to let you know how I feel.
You'll be in my heart, now and forever more.
And that's where you'll always be.
Close to me. And I close to you. <3



I wrote this for my close friends who are like family to me and for my boyfriend.
I love you all!! You guys mean the world to me!!! <3

I Forgive You, But I Have Not Forgotten

You said you loved me and you'd be there.
You were there when I was little.
You were there when I was growing up for a little while.
Then I moved and you were gone.
How my heart ached when I wasn't near you.
You said that I would see you again someday,
and that you'd never forget me.

I'm moved back here.
and found out that you had someone else.
I saw you for the first time since I was little and,
you had tears in your eyes.
You wanted to hug me.
You wanted to hold me.
You told me that you would
protect me no matter what.

You were my sword and shield.
You were my gurdian angel
You were my light that brightened my day.

But then things started going wrong when you left again
You weren't the same when you came back.
You didn't want to see me much anymore.
You weren't there for me when I needed you the most.
You told me to leave you alone, and that I didn't understand.
You shut me out of your life because you thought that a teenager would
not understand you, even though I've known you my whole life.

So now you're gone and here I stand all alone.
No sheild.
No sword.
Only faith, and what I remember of you.

A Christmas From the Heart

On this christmas eve I write this from the bottom of my heart. I'm greatful that I have such amazing friends, and that I have a family that supports me in everything and anything I do. My family taught me the spirt of christmas and I will never forget it. Christmas is actually a time of giving not reciving. I'm thankful that I recive gifts and all, but I like giving more so. It's who I am and the way I was raised. When I give someone a gift on christmas and I see their face light up with happiness and joy. My heart feels like it's going to explode with joy and happiness. Because I was able to bring that person happiness. Christmas to me is my favorite holiday of all because it brings people so much joy and it's the spirit of giving that is always on my mind. My friends sometimes joke around and say that I should be selfish and think about myself for once. And I tell them I can't be selfish. I just can't. It's like not in my vocabulary or my heart. I'm always there when someone needs a friend and someone to talk to. I like helping people, and I'm good at it. So Christmas for me is the best time of the year. And it brings me joy just to share it with the people I love the most. Have a very Merry Christmas!!!!!<3
