I want to ride on a summertrain, taking me away, into the breezy evening. I want to go where the light shines from within, where the dreamers can go and be safe. I want to ride on a summertrain. Leaving the worries of long days behind. Instead of worry, I reach out of the windows to catch fireflies in my hand. I want to ride on a summertrain. Escaping what little world I am holed up in. Entering instead, a world of possibility. Darkness has the potential, of everything. I want to ride on a summertrain. Feeling the cool air flow through my fingers, promising me better times. There... There I will be free. Love + Blessings

Wanted to share a really interesting dream I had last night. I just barely heard the final words of the dream and the sentence has been stuck in my head all morning. Without sharing too much of the dream, I will give you an outline of what essentially happened. *** Standing in the large room, some kind of foyer or hall, I look to the double doors that lead outside. I see someone that I recognize through the windows, and for some reason I turn away. The person is someone I think highly of. I find a table with a friend close by me, we put our bags on top of the table as we wait around for something. I don't know what it is yet, but my thoughts are interrupted by an incoming text message. My friend grabs my phone, looking excitedly at the message it contains. "He texted you!" my friend exclaims. I honestly have no idea what she's talking about. She shoves my phone in my face and I see the said text. I read it while I mouth the words at the same time. He wants to han...

June is almost coming to an end, and I haven't been diligent in writing on my blog. The reason is, that I have lacked things to write about. I am just now able to sit down and think of words that have any meaning to me, which is a great feeling. My first blog post back from obscurity will be doing a review on a movie I recently saw at the movies, so here goes. "Snow White and the Huntsman" As most people know, Kristen Stewart of Twilight fame is in this movie. I have to admit, I came prepared to hate her guts when I decided to go see this movie. Yet, I found her very entertaining and she conveyed with great ease, the feelings of Snow White. So no, I actually did not end up hating her performance. Apart from some accent slip ups, she did incredibly well in this role. When that girl smiles, her whole face changes to that of a woman with an incredibly angelic face. I can not explain it, but she seems like her  when she smiles. The moronic pout she sports in Twilight is...

In the quest for love, I believe that kindness is the biggest gift you can present to anyone. If for nothing else, just to see that smile reach across their features and it fills you with a sense of calm and gratitude. There is no reason not to be kind, because we have the capacity to impact everyone we come across in a positive way. Be it with courtesy towards a woman who is struggling with her groceries and you help her carry them or a child longing to belong. I believe that cruel actions are the easiest in the world. It takes a very small person with no sense of compassion to inflict pain on someone else. Every single day I am breathing, I see kids upon kids terrify each other. For whatever reason, we have an abundance of kids who grow up to be afraid of the world around them. I know that the many terrible tales of suicide we hear in the media, are just a fraction of what really goes on out in the world. From my own experience, I know that such a thing did not seem so far fetc...

Surrounded by a familiar theme of fighting against the current. I seem to be drawn to the everlasting struggle of keeping afloat. In many ways I know why this is. It's His way of telling me to fight back. Grow a backbone. To not let the negativity keep me from the things I want to attain. Someone told me not too long ago, that when one is on the cusp of something great, negativity will find you in any way it can. Be it friends that are disappointing you, family treating you differently because change is hard to deal with. Or the feeling of inadequacy in any and all things you once felt so confident about. It is a disease that can cripple you and interfere with all of your hopes and dreams. The trick is to look the other way. Forget the naysayers that said you could never amount to anything. The venomous tongues that try to slither their way into your heart and poison your spirit. They will only succeed if you let them... I used to tell myself that everyone was right. I woul...

I give you a short excerpt from a story I've begun writing. I give you the excerpt because I have too many ideas and not enough time to finish it for publishing here on the blog. So, read on and hopefully enjoy. Lot of autobiographical stuff in there. The name of the story is "Terrified": Samantha, or Sam for short, had a great life. That is after she escaped her horrible childhood. Sam was not an ugly girl, nor was she a beauty queen. Her appearance did not put people off or make them spontaneously comment on her ravishing looks. But she was one of the most generous people you could ever have the privilege of knowing. This is directly because of her childhood. See, Sam was sort of the odd person in school. Not the popular cheerleader with a handsome quarterback boyfriend, and yet she was not the typical forever alone either. Sam liked to keep to herself and find escape in things that did not interest her female peers, which is why she was singled out as often a...

A heads up, I'll be posting a short story tomorrow because I want to practice my skills a bit with a shorter and more impactful journey. Hope you like it when you read it! Until then, be safe all.
