“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, but 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 just to break me like a promise. You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometime you just might find, you get what you need. We're happy, free, confused, and lonely at the same time, it's miserable and magical. He was trying to skip rocks on the ocean saying to me, 'Don't you see the starlight, starlight, don't you dream impossible things? Everything gets hotter when the sun goes down. And your eyes look like coming home. Life aint always beautiful, but it's a beautiful ride. She needs wide open spaces, room to make her big mistakes. Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance, and when you get the choice to sit it out or dance, I hope you danceAnd all we are is skin and bone, trained to get along. I'll find strength in pain. Picture perfect memories scattered all around the floor. I said, 'Grandpa, what's this picture here, it's all black and white and ain't real clear. She put him out like the burnin' end of a midnight cigarette. Blame it all on my roots, I showed up in boots. Keep on dreamin' even if it breaks your heart. I won't give up on us, even if the skies get rough. Funny how a melody, sounds like a memory. The way you move is like a full on rainstorm. Remembering him comes in flashbacks and echos. Just the way you look tonight. I just haven't met you yet. We live on front porches and swing life away. When you're dreamin' with a broken heart, the wakin' up is the hardest part. Three little birds sat on my window, and they told me 'you don't need to worry'. These are the hands of fate, you are my Achilles heel. This is falling for you when you're worlds away. This is when the feelin' sinks in, I don't want to miss you like this. That's the way you make me feel, every time, you say you're mine. I am skin and bones. Many the miles. Knock on window, knock on my doors, I want to make you feel beautiful. I can't keep up with your turning tables under your thumb I can't breathe. Nothin' compares to dancin' with you on the Brooklyn Bridge. Love don't run, love don't hide. Be still and know that I'm with you. Untouchable like a distant diamond sky. She carries memories around like souvenirs down in her pockets. Stop me on a corner, I swear you hit me like a vision, I I I wasn't expecting, but who am I to tell fate where it's supposed to go. Here's to us. Life's too short to even care at all. I'm just a little bit caught in the middle, life is a maze and love is a riddle. Like a bridge over troubled water, I will lay me down. Blue jean baby, LA lady, she was a seamstress for the band. I'm dreamin' bout a romance slow dancin' with you. Ohh my man I love him so, he'll never know. The story of my life I can't quite comprehend. Still my heart and hold my tongue, I feel my time, my time has come.Hold me close tiny dancer. On the edge of a moment in the land that we love, in a time that our best has to be good enough. Why you gotta, why you wanna make me keep wanting you. She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly.  Some folks like to get away for a holiday from the neighborhood, hop a flight to Miami beach or to Hollywood, but I'm takin' a greyhound on the Hudson River line, I'm in a New York state of mind. If I could find a way to see this straight I'd run away to some fortune that I I should have found by now. I'll help you break the walls down. Come away with me in the night. Step one you say we need to talk. Run, cut a path across the blue sky. Look at me, listen close, so I can tell you how I feel before I go. You and tequila make me crazy. I'm fifteen for a moment, caught in between ten and twenty and I'm just dreamin', countin' the ways to where you are. Three days past eighteen. I want a love like Johnny and June. Ohh what a feelin', when we're dancin' on the ceiling. I don't love him, winter just wasn't my season. And you keep my old scarf from that very first week, cause it reminds you of innocence and smells like me.

What Are You Scared of Today?

FACT: The smartest people that I know are the people who read. FACT: I am nowhere near being 'the smartest person' anyone knows. FACT: I am a work in progress. FACT: I can become so much more than I currently am. FACT: I am on a quest to read as much as I can for a whole year. FACT: This is exponentially harder than it sounds. _________________________________________________________________________________ I was scrolling through Facebook last week and I came across an article that caught my attention. Being on a "quest to read more" I clicked on the article and started to read a column written by a young lady regarding mental health, her experience, and what she longs to say to those 'dear friends' around her who are also struggling. It was a great read and I am glad that I took the time to read it, however there is one question that has stuck in the back of my mind: "What are you scared of today?" As I have continu...

16 Things I Learned In 2016

Here it is. I cant believe that it is already New Year's Eve. This year has gone so fast and so slow. It has been happy and hard and different than I ever imagined it would be. This time last year, I was at my parent's house in Texas. So much has changed since I rung in the new year with little brothers and 60 degree weather, and as I have spent the day with just two cute puppies and my thoughts I have been overwhelmed with all that the last year has given me. So here it is, in no particular order...16 things that I learned in 2016. 16. Travel Often. Across the ocean or just a few hours away, take the time to see new places. It is ALWAYS worth it. 15. It's okay to say no. Sometimes, you can only give how much your heart will allow. You must take care of yourself before you can take care of others. I learned this through my job, but it is a lesson that I have needed to apply to my entire life for a very long time. ...

Tonight I Feel Broken.

Not completely, but a little bit yeah. I am so tired, my eyes are heavy and they burn. I have no desire to do anything at this point. It's cold and my body just sort of hurts. We've gotten snow the last two days and I am not a fan. Last night I got a phone call from my Father. Apparently my parents haven't been talking to each other about some things in my life the way I had hoped. I sat on my floor a sobbed talking to my Dad on the phone. I miss him. Not only is he my Dad, but he's one of my best friends and favorite people to be around. We had a very good talk and it helped me a lot...or so I thought. I then spent the night watching a movie and hanging out with some friends. It was great. I cant explain the love I feel when I am with such wonderful people. I went to bed last night just as confused as I the night before, just as confused as I will tonight. It's hard. My Mom keeps telling me I can do hard things. Today she made me promise that when I doubt myself or...
