My Emotional Roller Coaster

So I know it has been a while since I have blogged anything and for that I do apologize. I don't know who reads this if anyone does, but I should be better about being more regular with my posts. The truth is this....I have wanted to post multiple times actually, I just cant get my words straight. And it has been extremely frustrating. I am at a spot in my life where things just are. I don't even know how to explain it better than that. Things just are. They are frustrating and tiring and good and confusing and strengthening and humbling and I don't even know what to do with myself. I have no job (and not do to a lack of looking I must add), and no car, I have been sick for like a week now which is SO overrated, and I am a little overwhelmed with school work right now. I desperately want this semester to be over with, to know what I am going to be doing/where I am going to be living this summer, and actually have some concrete plans. And let me tell you, I am an emotional person! (I started tearing up at an ABC Family show tonight...SERIOUSLY, WHO DOES THAT?!) I am constantly finding myself in a state that is not necessarily in my comfort zone dealing with the unknown. And then I go to a conference, or an institute class, or get a text from a friend. I find an old picture or talk to my sister on the phone, or just enjoy a sunny day. I learn something new in class or I am reminded through the trials of others how truly BLESSED my life is, and then I get all frustrated and emotional because I get angry with myself for how stupid I have been acting. I hate how often I feel like my life is the only one that is hard. I hate how I feel like everyone else is just happy and for some reason I cant get myself to let go sometimes and just enjoy life. I hate it. And then I am back to where I started and am frustrated all over again. Life is beautiful, why do I let things bog me down sometimes. And then I look at the truly beautiful life I DO HAVE and I cant help but smile, for I have be given so very much! So many tender mercies from the Lord. And so many wonderful examples of how to do it right. I am grateful for the people in my life who allow me to be a part of theirs. And that may sound silly, but for a girl who is trying to figure out exactly who she is now that who she was isn't there anymore, it is TRULY a blessing to feel the love of some amazing people in my life. The truth is I am just trying my best to be the very best version of my self I can be and each and everyday I learn something new from people around me who are much braver, much smarter, much stronger than I am.

Life-Blood of My Soul

I love music. It is everything good and happy and right with the world and at the same time can say even the saddest words with such elegance and grace. It can express my thoughts and emotions in way that I know I never could. It is the life-blood of my soul. It makes me happy. And it goes beyond anything I can explain in plain words...which is kinda the point. For me, country music (among a few other things) makes me feel like I am home, no matter what is going on in my life. It is simply fantastic, in fact two of my favorite quotes come from the movie August Rush. They are... "You know what music is? God's little reminder that there's something else besides us in this universe, a harmonic connection between all living beings, every where, even the stars."  AND  "I believe in music the way some people believe in fairy tales..." And if those two don't say it all then I don't know what will. They are simply perfect in my opinion, and are completel...

“People haven’t always been there for me, but music always has.”

Seems like there’s always someone who disapproves, they’ll judge it like they know about me and you. I was lucky like a four leaf clover.  All you need is love, love, Love is all you need.  Don't you draw the Queen of Diamonds, boy, she'll beat you if she's able, you know, the Queen of Hearts is always your best bet. Fathers be good to your daughters, daughters will love like you do. Girls become lovers, who turn into mothers, so mothers be good to your daughters, too. Freedom, well, that's just some people talking. Your prison is walking through this world all alone.   I said, “leave,” but all I really want is you. Back then I swore I was gonna marry him someday, b ut I realized some bigger dreams of mine. On my knees and out of luck,  I look up.   The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls.  Don't test the ones you love, it will only tear us down, if you want to feel alive then learn to love your ground. You call me up again...

I Know I Have Dreams

It's been a while since I have written anything on here. And I know it's been a while. I know that the last few weeks have been crazy, and that that is part of it. But I also know that I have sat down to write here more times than I would care to admit. I know that I have a million thoughts running around in my head. I know that I want to figure out how to let the words out and have them make sense. I know I have all these ideas about what I want to do with my life, what I want to accomplish, and who I want to become, and yet I lack the knowledge of how to get there. I know I have dreams. I know I want to be somebody that people can look up too someday. I know what I love. I know I have to make choices. I know that I ramble. A lot. I know a lot of things. Maybe I will talk about everything. Maybe I will save a post or two for another day. I know that this post is going to be long.  I know that this post may be very varied when it comes to topics. I know that n...
