hi stranger

i fail at blogging.

my apologies

time flies

pinch punch first day of the month.

school starts in 22 days.

or 23, possibly 24. i don't really keep up with these things.

a bouquet of forget-me-nots

if you ask me what i am most afraid of i would tell you it's forgetting.

people are afraid to die, afraid to live, afraid to live, but i, i am afraid to forget.

are we not defined by our memories? by our experiences?

and the older i get the more of these that slip through the cracks in my fists, like sand.

i can't chase after them. i can't get them back.

i am nothing without my history.

i cannot build a future on shaky ground and patchwork memories.

i have already begun to forget, so tell, how will the world remember?

sometimes you just have nothing to say.

and sometimes you have a whole lot to say, but you can't find the right words.

Part 2

6. People can change

7. Don't talk crap over text messages because you will send the wrong thing to the wrong person

8. People who count calories are annoying

9. Don't wear white on your period

10. When you're mother tells you a girl is bad news, she's usually right

the things i've learned

1. The road returning home is always half as long as the road leaving home. Home is like a magnet, it pulls you closer and draws you in.

2. ID pictures, weather it's a school ID, a license (WHICH I NOW HAVE BTW!!!), or a passport are always ugly. Do not judge a girl by her ID card because she always looks ten times better in real life.

3. You can love someone without liking them in the least.

4. Sneaking out is a lot harder then it looks in the movies.

5. You shouldn't wear a purple shirt when you have purple streaks in your hair, or else you run the risk of looking like a clown.

I may not know much, though on any given day I may act like I know it all, but by God's grace I am learning.
