Bonfires, Friends, Stars.

I had the best time I’ve had in a really long time last night,
& I haven’t had this kinda smile on my face for far too long.

=)

One day,

I’m going to Ireland to kiss the Blarney Stone.

You live in a world of black and white and I see pieces of gray.. that’s the difference between you and me. that’s what made me fall in love with you, and that’s what tore us apart.

There seems to be…

… A lack of hugs in the world.

That is all.

.being grown up, isn’t half as fun as growing up.
.these were the BEST days of my life.

I must say, I miss having friends around to talk to every single day. I miss cross country practice, races, sleeping in tents, camp, lunch. I miss being young and not having to worry about things. I miss being with these girls. We’re woman now, all going our separate ways. I find it a huge accomplishment that this doesn’t change a thing, because whenever I see each and every one of you once more, it is just like old times.
Because we’ll be F-R-I-E-N-D-S Forever & Ever.

It’s very tempting when you really want to be with someone to settle for much, much less — even a vague pathetic facsimile of less — than you would have ever imagined. Remember always what you set out to get and please don’t settle for less. These guys exist because there are a lot of women out there who allow them to.

simple things

Today made me realize a lot of the simpler things in life that make me happy. I played a softball game today. My best friend was with me along with my family, and I couldn’t have asked for a better day.

I love catching fly balls and having the other team congratulate me on an excellent catch. I love watching my 50 year old parents run after grounders and swear that they’re young enough to be able to cope with the workout. I love seeing my littler siblings at the sidelines yelling for me as I go up to bat. I love that no matter what you can always find a smile on someone’s face at that game.

I love that we lost, because it means the red team was able to win. I loved taking a walk with my grandmother’s dog and enjoying the sunshine on my face. I love that each landmark in Medina makes me appreciate living here. It’s where I grew up, I wouldn’t have had it any other way.

I love my siblings more than anything else in the world. I love having them to turn to, to laugh with, to joke around. It’s absolutely wonderful to be so close to them. I love having friends that I can call in a second, and they’ll be there for me.

I love picking wildflowers with my little brother, and him telling me that Eric’s stupid for not wanting to see me anymore. He’s only six, but wise beyond his years. I love that I enjoy the rain, especially when it leaves a rainbow.

I love God and all he gave me. I love that he’s teaching me a lesson by taking things away, and I love that he’s giving me all the oppurtunity in the world to be all that I can be.

All I ask is for a little more pull in the right direction. That would be quite nice.

There’s one thing I have to say so I’ll be brave. You were what I wanted, I gave what I gave because I wanted to give it. I’m not sorry I met you, I’m not sorry for being with you,
But I’m not sorry it’s over either,
I’m just not.

All I would like in my life, what I wish for so very much , is to someday have the strength and be free of the resentment and anger that I carry around with me like Linus’ blanket for just long enough to become one of those people who is better than the worst thing that ever happens to her.
