About Me

My photo
Music, reading, family, work, and friends are just part of a typical day for me. Well, not including the clutziness, the awkwardness, and the general lack of being able to think before I speak. A couple more things about me: I have a serious desire to travel, I am absolutley in love with Chicago, also, but definitley not the least, I am LDS, and I love it.

Suddenly...

For some reason it seems, that since I've turned 18, I've been sassier to my parents than ever before. It's like a switch flipped. I've always been a quiet person, and generally I like to think myself kind. But I guess holding in emotions takes it's toll, because I totally have been letting snide comments out that in the past I probably never would have thought of. So all of the sudden my dad calls my puppies stupid, and I hear myself saying "don't call them stupid, they're sometimes smarter than you!" Which expressed my irritation, but unfortunately hurt his feelings. It's strange... This newfound change. Having a hard time controlling my thoughts, let alone my actions and spoken words. I guess I have a more independent nature than I thought I did. Interesting to see how this change is affecting me, not to mention my family and friends. But I like it in a weird way. I feel I have a confidence that didn't exist before, like I'm starting to be more comfortable being myself in unfamiliar situations. I'm starting to develop a "take me as I am or screw off" attitude. It's nice to have confidence in yourself.

Do you ever wish...

Do you ever wish that you could go back in time?
Change things you thought ought not to be,
Recreate a moment, make it last forever
See how a different decision could have played out,
and change things for the better



Do you ever wish you could go forward in time?
Forward to see everything's going to be okay?
Forward to see the consequences,
Forward to see love.



Do you ever wish, just once, to stay right where you are?
Do you remember how much stronger you are,
than before all those mistakes?
Do you remember the choices you make,
may make you happy in the end?
and do you remember,
you are surrounded by love?



Although not very pleasant, the present is the place to be,
the place to beat,
the plave to believe.



Ever changing,
ever moving forward,
the present,
with all its flaws,
all its imperfections,
and all its pain,
is what makes you, has made you,
just who you are:)
