We've outgrown our skin
Patches and blue veins healed over and growing.
Remembering the past in a liquified mind,
makes me laugh about all of those times
back when I used to sit alone
and drink sweet tea
in a honey cup.
I laugh a lot now
like the glitter that dances on my walls
against the lights of this town.
I walk outside and kiss the air
at the same time it’s like saying good bye
I kiss the air...

After having a huge, passionate fit due to realization of what I want to major in, I will go to sleep happy and content. This feeling of purpose coexists with the route I choose to take - career wise. I have never been so sure of anything in my life.

Exactly one month
Till the first day of school at WSU.
Excitement (:
This may sound corny, but...
Sadness can bring a lot of beauty into your life,
along with realizations that you could never see when you were happy.
Thank you so much, for opening my eyes to all that I was missing.

I am hurt.
Never before have I ever been so hurt in my life. The truth is, I have experienced many traumatic events in my childhood and even early adolesence.
It is selfish of me to say though, that the event of losing a very close friend has hit me the hardest.
It was my fault though, I assume. Not that I did anything wrong, because all I did was care. In fact, me “caring” to that extent, was...
You've dug yourself into this hole.
Now find your way out.
Nothing is going to change; that has been made clear.
It is those around you who will change.
Through words, actions, and a fragmented mind-set, so much has been tossed and thrown about.
It is now time to face the consequences.
Blaming others will solve nothing, but instead, it will widen the burden.
I wish the best for you, and to all of those who love you the most.

Negligence
Every once in a while, people are entitled to receive wake-up calls to keep them planted on the ground. Even if that reminder be given to you by a drunken man, there’s still some truth in it nonetheless.
So much has occured within these 3 small months.

Out of the norm.
I woke up today at nearly 12 noon. The house was silent, and this feeling of complete emptiness, confusion, and eeriness crept over me. It was apparent that the girls had left for school, and Esther and the baby had gone to run some errands. Usually, I yearn and cherish for the house to be as quiet and empty as it was, but for some reason, the absolute vacancy of it startled me.
I lay in bed,...

Open your eyes, and become blind to indifference.
I just watched this documentary called Invisible Children, and by far, this has been the most impacting documentary I have ever seen. Invisible Children is about the abducted children of Uganda, who are captured by Joseph Kony’s rebel soldiers, and are trained to terrorize, annihilate, and kill. Those children who are in hiding from Kony’s soldiers, are forced to live a life of...
"Everything is possible again"
Note to self: Remember this day.
Today, I made self-justification with myself, and already, I can feel the pressure off my shoulders, and the steadiness regained in my buckling knees.
I have made peace with my indecision and self-doubt.
and this choice that I have made, has given me not only relief, but also something that has revitalized my interest in the sweet, compulsiveness of helping...
"Pinhole" - Joel P West and the Tree Ring
I’ll be dammed if the fire can get me I am hiding under a holy prophecy I have a wet coat, I have a loose tooth I have a white wall, I have a bright red roof And a steeple pointing up to a higher truth I drove west with a girl who’s missing all the same things Out in a cold sea breeze we flee
She has some black dogs, she has a red car We saw some green light between the northern stars...

When fish take pride in their scales.
Three cheers for the glamorous! Living a life of luxury, but only time will tell. She was told: The world is coming, so be sure to secure a place. With all of the money you have, you can own any face.” So with that advice, she embedded it in her heart, and carried it strong living a life where the future is quick, but the moments are long. You’re in one day, then you’re out the next. Hoping to...
"Armchairs" - Andrew Bird
I dreamed you were a cosmonaut of the space between our chairs And I was a cartographer of the tangles in your hair I sang the song that silence sings It’s the one that everybody knows, everybody knows The song that silence sings And this is how it goes These looms that weave apocrypha they’re hanging from a strand The dark and empty rooms were full of incandescent hands ...
Ten things I would like to do before I "kick the...
Is that why these things are called bucket lists?
Well anywho:
1. Send a message in a bottle (I bet you have the song stuck in your head now).
2. Go on a road trip from the most southern part of California, to the very tip of Maine.
3. Stroll down the streets of a foreign country, accompanied by friends playing musical instruments, and all of us singing away like there was no tomorrow, and...
Day 12. A letter to a mythological creature.
I was thinking about writing to Pegasus, but then I didn’t think I would have much to say about him, besides the fact that he was in one of my favorite childhood movies—Hercules. After crossing out Pegasus from my list, I thought about writing to the Cyclops from Homer’s The Odyssey, but then, from what I can remember, I do not think a Cyclops would even care to read a letter...
Damn Annie,
Thanks (;
This has to make some sort of sense later on.
Day 9. A letter to the coolest person you’ve never...
Dear V,
I guess you could say you were a friend of a friend of a friend’s, and yeah, I guess we’ve met from a far, but I don’t really think that counts. Well, some things about you that I find captivating are: You look at things in a peculiar way, analyzing ever single detail. Your thoughts highly contrast my beliefs, but your philosophies are something worth delving deeper...
