GOODBYE PARIS:

The time I spent here has been incredible;
I was forced to do nothing,
but to keep my mind open.
I came a bit scared,
but in the end there's nothing I feared.
I learned an exciting side of English.
I was challenged to this blog,
and though I didn't write every week, I still learned a lot.
I found my creative self,
and hope to bring it with me wherever life takes me.
I had the best mentor,
gained some new friends,
and I can't wait to share my memories with everyone!
I know this is short, and oh so sweet,
but I have nothing else to say,
but thanks to all who've supported me here.

 

I remeber

In all honesty, I remember the good times from my past. Why should I dwell on the more unfortunate times? I'm happy with how far I've come, and can't wait to have more memories down the road! It's weird to see how much has changed in just 18 years of my life. The funny thing is that I will probably be saying the same exact thing in another 18 years! I remember the good times!

That One Reliable Person In Our Lives:

I think God granted each one of us that person that is always going to be there no matter what. That person you can tell anything to, the person who has your back at all hours of the day, that person that is like a sibling to you. Sometimes it isn't clear who that person is, but ounce you find them, you'll know they will be there forever. The person that God gave me was my cousin JJ. Since we were little we always couldn't wait to hang out with each other. I remember playing outside in JJ's castle that her dad had built for her, spending birthdays together, and even holidays together as well. Things took a sharp left, the day I moved to Utah, we started seeing each other only for a week per year. That one week we had together brought so many memories, and great night talks, that it was like I still lived in Illinois. As we got older we actually got lives, and it became hard to talk year round, so that week we got, was like catching up all year. Whenever the week ended and she left back home, I always bawled my eyes out, because it was like loosing a best friend! I don't think I've ever had a true best friend like JJ has been to me. I know were family, and family always sticks together, but our bond is more then family. She's my best friend, and I know this because I've seen her at her worst and at her best, and nothing has been able to tear our friendship apart. I trust her with all my heart. I care for her so much, that I only want what is best for her. I can't wait to be re-united with my cousin-bestie someday, so that we get to spend more than a dam week together. I love you so much, and can't wait for many more lifetime memories that await us! This is that one reliable person in my life that I'd do anything for, and thank God so much for bringing her in my life!

Is it just me?

Is it just me or is my vocabulary as intelligent as it was in 3rd grade? Is it just me or is it a waste of time to get ready for class anymore? Is it just me or is dialogue with the opposite harder than it used to be without technology? Is it just me or do you all hate high school too? Is it just me or do we all still like to color with crayons? I hope I'm not crazy. Is it just me or do we all forgot to do this blog post thing? Is it just me of have we all peed our pants from laughter? Is it just me or do you we all have a favorite blanket? Is it just me or have we all had our first kiss? Maybe I need more friends. Is it just me or do weal all still have best friends like we used to? Is it just me or are all of you guys not the person you come off to be? Is it just me or do we all still get scared at night? Is it just me or do you all think religion is crazy? Is it just me or are relationships in high school pointless? Man... It's just me...

The Brain Of a Women: (Dialogue)

Me: He is so tall and handsome. You: You shall never talk to him. Me: He's fit and has the cutest laugh on earth! You: Look at yourself, I don't think you're up to his standards. Me: I'm so nervous. You: Maybe you are up to his standards, but you're not as pretty as the girl he's eyeing right now. Me: I want to punch that girl. You: I swear he was eyeing me earlier though. Me: I know right, I'll just stand here and see if he comes by. You: And if he does, then he definitely was eyeing you. Me: And if he doesn't I guess I really am too ugly for him. You: Or fat. Me: Sigh, but he's so cute. You: Maybe you should go stand a little closer to him. Me: OK! (Scoot, Scoot, Scoot) You: I wonder what he thinks of me? Me: Maybe I should just walk by and say hi? You: Then he might think you're stalking him. Me: Ah, ya I'll just wait here. You: Now you look like a dork all by yourself over here. Me: Ill stare at my phone. You: Hm.. Who to text... Me: (Glance up). You: He's looking at you. Me: OMG I KNOW! You: Breathe. Me: WHAT SHOULD I SAY? ME & You: "Hi, I'm Martha."

Bells Will Be Ringing

Bells will be ringing; oh and they are. You go to any grocery store and there stands someone ring-a-ding dinging away for you to donate some cash into that red bucket. I have no idea what it's even for, but I donate anyway, because its the season of giving, it's Christmas time. The time when you go into a store and you hear the same Christmas music playing over and over again, and by the time Christmas even comes you're so sick of it! When everyone drops a bomb on their wallet, and we all want the newest things! Why is it that the holiday season isn't so cheery anymore? Is it because were all selfish, and compete with our friends to see who gets the most stuff, or the best thing for Christmas? Well haven't you all watch Elf before? Santa doesn't come without Christmas spirit! So please just enjoy the health you have, that you're not in a hospital bed; dying. Enjoy the family you got, because it's all you have. Oh, and one more last thing, stop nagging about getting some big expensive gift for Christmas, because the best gifts come from the heart, and the IPhone 5 comes from a factory many long miles away.

Merry Christmas!

Phenomenal Woman

Phenomenal Woman By: Maya Angelou

I'm so jealous of you. The fire in your eyes, the bend of your hair, inner mystery, you have it all; confidence. Why can't I be just a little bit more like you? There I am sitting in the class room, silent. I used to not be. I'm full of character, a triumph story, yet I'm silent. I'm like a plant ready to pop out of the ground. All I ever wanted was for someone to like me, to notice! I lack the confidence, but I can't seem to gain it. No inspiration I have lost my way- way back last year, and I am on this new road taking me to success, while all you guys sit in that desk thinking who to ask to the next dance, or where you'll be going on a damn mission, but none of you care about the now, then, or what really matters, because if you did than you'd take a chance to know me, know us, because were phenonmenal women.
