When it's over, that's the time I'll fall in love again

Regrets
Memories

Advice to our future goddesses:

Fall in love. You won't always win but sometimes losing is just as important. In doing so you'll have a chance to see how strong you are, you will learn to grieve, to pull yourself out of the wreckage by remembering just what it is that makes you a strong and independent. Learn to appreciate the experience and the person, despite the good or the bad. Learn to forgive and to heal. Move on, remember the experience and put what you have learned to good use in the future. Each experience is a gift from God building onto our lives in a way that will leave us ready and prepared so that one day when you find that true love you will recognize it, appreciate it, be strong in it, and retain the person that YOU have become while walking the rest of your journey with another and realizing the joint difference between the two.

Stand up for your self, don't let anyone ever make you waver in what you know is right. Don't allow anyone to treat you other than they should. But remember in standing up for yourself and standing strong in who you are, it never hurts to be open. Don't limit yourself to toleration of the differences that exist in this world but move past that into acceptance then you'll truly be able to see yourself

Take chances

Open up to new things

Ask questions

Watch the sunrise, play in the snow, have sleepovers.

Make mix cds and label them. On those nights when you're feeling like Fall {insert year here} there will be nothing more viceral than the music that was playing when it all happened...nothing.

Find that one special place that is just yours. You will cry there, scream there, smile there, and share it with only those people who have earned that right. And everytime you return you will remember each memory and each moment that was carried to, maintained, or let go at that very spot.

Be safe. Trust in that little voice in your head it exists for a reason. Don't be afraid to question others and yourself when needed. Stay aware of your boundaries whether personal, physical, or emotional and never allow anyone to push beyond them.

Savor every single instance. You cannot possibly imagine how quickly it will come and go, you will change in ways that you never imagined and will never, ever have the ability to do this over. You may go to grad school, you may come back and visit but there will never be another time in your life like this is now at this very moment, at this very age, exactly how you are. Take pictures, keep a journal, scrapbook, you will treasure those moments, you will forget a few but no matter what use it until you use it up.

And All I Really Want...

I am currently in the throws of some galactic battle, an all out war on common sense, reality, and all those things which should really be important in our day to day. I am planning a wedding. A few years ago pre-engagement, before meeting the man who I had no idea would be the one, I knew exactly what I wanted in a wedding. At this point the marriage part did not factor in because hey, I had time. I wanted the wind, and trees, a few friends, a few family, a pretty simple dress, and him. There was no need for rice and bubbles, doves or bells, poofy hair and perfect nails. I was always that simplistic about my life, hating the showy monstrosity of it all and now I am here. I am here in the midst of the chaotic. 150 people, catering, photographers, dresses, and hair, and centerpieces, and music, and linen jackets to make it dressy enough but not too dressy. Somewhere along the way I lost it, somewhere along the way. I long for the stillness, the quiet, the spontaneous. That stillness of ...

SOS and Smoke Signals

You come in here, Burnt fingertips, Darkness touching lips, And all these lies. Darkness starts to abound you, And the light of my life starts to fade away. Self destruction, Self-destructive. But, if you shift the blame, While shifting eyes, Shifting feet, Shifting stories, I become the destroyer, the one taking lives, and misplacing souls. Destroying yourself, in turn destroying me… …where thou diest, will I die. And the light of my life starts to fade away. Tears fall hard on deaf ears, Pain passes unseen by turned blind eyes. Ignorance is bliss, Bliss is the deception, And the deception comes again, It is the destroyer of things. But I will not let him take you, I will mark this sign upon my house, I will be in observance and bare reverence. I will do all those things And it shall pass over you, And it shall pass over me, And it shall pass over the fruits of the tree. As it were before, Yes, this too shall pass.

...now you're just somebody that I...

Typing, typing, typing. This whole process seems so foreign to me, and yet I know that I'm extremely competent in the field. I used to be a writer; I know that, it is documented here. I used to sparkle, and held an unwavering optimism, I used to shine, and be breathtaking all because I felt like the world around me sparkled, it inspired unwavering optimism, it shined and was breathtaking...oh how did I come so far. So far from the girl I used to be, the girl she was meant to be, all of her hopes, all of her dreams snuffed out like a short lived flame. She thought she'd fly, she thought her words would matter, she cherished the brightness of her future, she cherished that something within her self that I'm not even sure that I can identify anymore. She is miles apart from me, she's just the girl I used to be and it went so fast it's almost like it hasn't happened at all.
