The End Where I Begin ~ The Script
Sometimes tears say all there is to say Sometimes your first scars wont ever fade, away Tried to break my heart Well it’s broke Tried to hang me high Well I’m choked Wanted rain on me Well I’m soaked Soaked to the skin It’s the end where I begin It’s the end where I begin Sometimes we don’t learn from our mistakes Sometimes we’ve no choice but...

...Only Ashes...
This is a song that has really been on my mind a lot lately. I think that songs can be interpreted in many different ways, but for me, this song is the process of becoming who I am. In the past, I have been a person that I really didn’t like, and even more, a person who was unhappy with life. I have finally come to a place where I am extremely happy and content…just being who I am and...

Timing
Something that had really been on my mind lately is timing. I have always known that things have to happen in their own time, but I haven’t really paid very much attention to it, and it hasn’t really ever hit me as hard as it is now. As I have already finished my undergraduate career, and am still in Ada, I’m starting to feel that its my time to leave. Being in Ada and not being...

Vacation, ponderings, etc.
I am BACK from the Bahamas. As much as I don’t want to be. I still maintain that a cruise is the most relaxing vacation that you can take. It’s amazing. This week I laid out in the sun a lot, sat on the balcony and listened to the ocean, as well as swimming in the waves. Salt water does heal everything…at least, for me. It’s kind of funny - I was in the sun so much, that I...

At Peace....and Saltwater :)
So, I have recently come into new territory in my life. I am happy, content, and at peace with life. Which is somewhere that I’ve never been before. I am usually the person who comes off as happy or okay with life to other people, but rarely is that the actual case. Most of the time, I’m just a very private person, and don’t really want the world to know that I am struggling with...

If you have never heard of this band, you should really give them a listen. You will like them…or at least the meaning in their songs. PROMISE.
Family, Home, and Random Thoughts
So, this week I came home, to good old Belmont County (you love it…you hate it). I was supposed to be coming home for my grandma’s surgery, but it was postponed due to the fact that she got sick. Anyways, it’s kind of funny how the little things that I’ve never noticed before suddenly come to light and smack me on the head when I least expect it. For instance, this year, I...
"Let It All Out" ~ Relient K →
One of the most legit and meaningful songs ever. It’s one of those songs that make you feel better, no matter what kind of mood you’re in. It reminds you that whatever you’re going through, there is at least someone out there who understands, and has gone through the same thing as you before. <3

The Paintball Sniper
It is a well-known fact that I’m not much of a drinker and consequently, am not much of a partier. On the rare occasion where I do drink, I’m not usually in the “party” setting - I suck at beer pong, I really don’t like the feeling of being “buzzed”, and I do not enjoy being the only sober person in a crowd of drunks (however entertaining that may be). In...
Lie To Me - 12 Stones →
This is kind of how I’ve been feeling in my life lately. I have the tendency to put wayyy too much trust in people, and then become disappointed when they do something to lose that trust. So either people just like to betray me/stab me in the back/lose my trust, or I just find the wrong people to trust all together. I don’t know which is more accurate, but its rough all the same....

There's a first time for everything....
So, I’m not the blogger type. I have actually been vehemently opposed to them in the past because I think that they are used in the wrong way. I don’t think that blogging should be a direct outlet for your frustrations or arguments with this person or that person - grow a pair. If you have a problem with someone, say it to their face. Don’t blog about it and mention them...
