Love... Is an amazing feeling, and one of few that fills your heart and soul with joy. The smile that tugs at your lips when you see the one you love coming towards you. The light you recognize in their eyes, that tells you all you need to know. Love can intoxicate and confuse, and it is a feeling like no other. Love has no malice or jealousy. Love is unconditional and compassionate and humans are extremely blessed to have something like this in their possession. Sadly, many mistreat it and neglect the fact that love also takes work. In this day and age, it has become increasingly easier to just give up on a relationship instead of working at it, making the love last a lifetime. There are plenty of examples in the world, of love lasting and relationships standing the test of time. So why is it that our current generation gives up so easily? I have yet to come to an understanding of this. I am a passionate woman, and someone who loves without judgment. I have experienced an all-...

"Shadows fill an empty heart, as love is fading. From all the things that we are, but are not saying. Can we see beyond the scars, and make it to the dawn?" ~ Chris Daughtry Have we really lost our humanity? So much so, that we would walk past a person that clearly needs help. If we see a person on the ground and they looks like he/she passed out, was scared or sad, can we really not find it in ourselves to help? Are we afraid to let other people know that we have compassion? I really can't understand what the problem is. It doesn't take much to grab your phone and call for an ambulance, check if the person is breathing and have a pulse, or ask if they want you to call someone. It's not a shame to want to help others, in fact it's one of the most important human interactions. Being there for your fellow man, why is that so hard to understand? My brother once called an ambulance for one of his friends who had heart palpatations and she was extremely ...

I find my inspiration in lyrics and the mood of a song. I let the emotions wash over me till I find a place where I feel creative. I also tend to draw from personal feelings, conveying small moments in time. Places I have struggled to find peace with. In this way I can work through my own unresolved issues, by writing small stories that perhaps resonate in my readers as well. ~ Grace Broken promises and broken dreams. Pieces of a broken heart strewn across the floor. The darkness consuming everything, knowing that happiness' light is too weak to shine. Without suffering there can be no compassion, yet the heart will always feel weaker in pain. It takes more than a promise, to mend what is broken. Even the sun feels bleak, and the wind feels unrelenting. When is the right time to get back on track, and where do you find the strength? The memories of piercing lies, waltz back into the mind. Nothing can wash away sins past, yet the heart can be mended. No it do...

It's been a while, yeah I know. I've had to take some time and reevaluate some things. Nothing major, just the little things in life you sometimes have to think twice about. Been a bit of a whirlwind time I've had. So many things to do, so many plans I've been wanting to put in motion, but they all take time and consideration. I can reveal a little bit about something I've been working on. A short story project. Still in the early stages, with one finished story and a couple on the drawing board. Trying to figure out how they fit together... Like puzzle pieces, and it's exciting to figure out these connections. I feel like my creativity is slowly coming back to me again, piece by piece. When I write, my creative flow comes and it's terribly fun. It's also hard work, because it takes time and energy to let these stories in my head be put into a document. Sometimes new story ideas pop up when I'm writing one kind, and I'm sort of an impulsive per...

I've realized that there are certain things in my everyday life that distracts, and also takes focus away from important stuff. So I'm gonna cut down on some of the things that steal my attention and try to center myself and be more in tune to what I need. I'm not going to deactivate my Facebook or twitter, but I'm taking a break from both. I'm going to spend some time on my writing and work but I'll be contactable by phone or email. My blog will be updated somewhat regularly so you can check that out as well. Catch ya on the flip side y'all! Love + Blessings

Sometimes we are faced with difficult decisions. Even though what you really want is to give in and say sure, I'll compromise my beliefs. You know inside that even though you might at first get something out of it, the empty feeling will surely follow soon after. Most times you don't even know you've made the right choice until it is over and done with. When you see the aftermath and that you didn't end up doing something that would make it hard for you to look yourself in the mirror. Those choices can be defining. If you choose to compromise yourself you might end up paying for it for the rest of your life. I realize most people have regrets in their life, I even have some myself. There's a difference though, you can let those regrets fester and overtake you or you can decide to end the selftorturing, and realize in the end it makes you able to not make the same mistake twice. Sadly a lot of people never learn from their mistakes and stay in a vicious circle of e...

I know there's good in all of us, regardless of what we've been taught to believe. Some times people just can't see past their own nose. Yesterday I saw an episode of Glee (no judging!) and it had me in tears. The theme was bullying, and being different. Right then I decided that when I'm done with my graduation I will of course get a job, but somehow get involved in some kind of organization against bullying and possibly something related to LGBT rights. I also heard the news of young Jamey Rodemeyer who was involved with the "It gets better" community, took his own life, because of bullying. What is this world really coming to? We aren't allowed to be ourselves anymore? I see it this way, I don't think that sexual orientation matters... Until you've made a choice, chosen a partner, settled down with someone you love with all your heart. Even then, why would it matter if it's two guys or two girls that are together? In my world, love is lo...
