ill be seeing you in all the old familiar places




"People keep telling me that I fall in love too easily- that I should protect my heart, that I shouldn’t wear my heart on my sleeve… I fall in love at least 20 times a day. I fall in love with the sky and the sun and the flowers and my children. I fall in love with smiles, with music on the radio and with french fries and Dr. Pepper. I fall in love with the sound of laughter, blue jeans, accents… Sometimes I fall in love with complete strangers, especially the ones holding hands and kissing in public. The ones who aren’t afraid to be in love with the idea of being in love either. I don’t mind the pain of unrequited love so much, because I think they’re wrong. Love looks good on me"

everytime I look into your eyes i see the future.



I love the first day of school. I love the opportunity & sense of ambition it brings. No matter how you did in previous semesters, the chance to show your potential is renewed. The best part though, the cherry on the cake, is meeting the new people. If I had to pick a reason to love school, it has to be meeting new people. Sure, most come and go, but what you learn about people is worth the loss, especially coming from a background where I raised myself. I'm not looking for sympathy. It's an advantage for me, really. I have the ability to learn from different cultures and backgrounds, and decide for myself what's right and wrong, and which path I should take. Being in school for so long is no longer a hindrance for me, because with every semester I learn so much, not just academically. I'm confident that when I'm ready, I'll get into a great school. In the meantime, I'll live for the now.

Embellished with talent & the wisdom not abuse it. Blessed with insight, friends and affluences..

I'm tired of waking up to long to-do lists. My life is an endless manifest of things that are expected of me. It's not clear yet if my mom moving back has made a positive impact in my life. Anything left unfinished in this house is now becomes a responsibility of of mine.
