For You
I asked you what you wanted just a while ago. You told me you wanted to run this train till it ran out of gas. Hoping that would be at the end of our lives. That stuck with me. It stuck with me because I feel the same way. 5 months into it and I’m ready to sign up for the next five, hoping they won’t be half as tough as the first ones. These past five months have been a whirlwind to...

Me
I don’t have much time or energy to write on this thing anymore. Which doesn’t matter much either way on account of nobody reading it. Any who, everything has been so smooth lately its almost a bit scary because its too smooth. My mom and I have been getting along great, my dad is out of the hospital, I have a super cute new car, my friends are incredible even though they get me home...

I’ve been meaning to write something for a while now. A long while, actually. Just seems like too many things bouncing around this head of mine to write anything that makes any sort of sense. In the past two months, I can honestly say everything has changed. I recently felt like I had no idea who I was and it was a bit scary. Only now I realize that I just didn’t recognize who...

I don’t have bad intentions, I really don’t. I’m not perfect but I’ve tried very hard to be there for people over the years. Not just anyone, but the people I really care about. I really have. And tonight I write this from my view of the stars in backyard. I write this because I’m sitting down looking at my brother and his best friend manny who just came over from...
WatchIts hard to believe that someone so beautiful can also be funny lol. This is my niece Samantha. I don’t mean to brag but…. Ok I do mean to brag. She’s perfect.

What a great week. My best friend in the whole world graduated a few days ago and in honor of that she had this enormous dinner party with about 80 or so people. I sat next to her at a table full of old friends and her crazy family. We drank and laughed and ate way too much. Its fair to say I had an amazing time. If I can be honest though, I was very much looking forward to the drive home. It was...

Birthday dinners
Its 2:30 am and just a few minutes ago I wanted nothing more then to lay in bed, dream, and of course drool. But as I finally rest my head and think about my night, I can’t help but stay awake. At the risk of sounding chessy, what I am about to say comes from the deepest part of my heart. ( And let’s face it I don’t do this very often lol) I am SO incredibly honored and humbled...
Those moments when
Awkward silences and distant “Hellos.” Days like today were your eyes meet hers, making her fully aware of this fragile heart she’s tried to hide. The air feels thick and her head is spinning. She’s got every intention of letting go, but he’s starting to seem like he wants more. She drives home and her walls come down. Its hard to believe its crumbled to this. From...

You
I lay awake and often wonder of distant people and different times. I find myself staring at the ceiling as if it were a galaxy of stars and allowing my mind to freely roam. These days however, it doesn’t roam to far from were my heart is. I’m stuck in reverse and I don’t really mind. I have given you all of me and asked for little in return. I don’t have a way of putting...

^ I first read this quote when I was in the 6th or 7th grade… and I remember thinking to myself that I would NEVER forget it. It’s remained one of my favorite pieces of writing ever because its one of those things I wish I had written on a laminated index card and...
I’ve always liked kids. Heck who doesn’t like kids right? I’ve grown very fond of the kids I work with and I will tell you why. Kids love unconditionally and they don’t know what a grudge is much less how to hold one. They find pleasure in the simplest of things. We went lizard catching today and they were are quite fearless about it. We finally caught one and they were...

Another Valentines Day Blog
I am completely aware that everyone and their 3rd cousin is blogging about Valentines day today. If you were looking to read something a little different, this is not it. I did not have some fancy date tonight nor did anyone besides a bunch of 4 year olds send me flowers, yet I am fully content. I have become freakishly aware of the love I have for people around me. Just to name a few… MOM:...
Last night my best friend of 17 years and I decided to take a bike ride. It was about 8pm and dark to say the least. She suggested we ride to our old elementary school and ride around the park. So we crossed a few streets and almost got ran over a time or two, but we made it. I hadn’t been to that park since I was about 10 years old and it brought back this huge rush of memories. We sat on...

The parable of the lost Zuvic
Have you ever heard the parable of the lost sheep? Growing up in Sunday School I’d say I’ve heard it enough times to tell it word for word… Backwards. At the risk of sounding disrespectful, I never gave the story too much attention. Never preached about it or used it in an example. It was just a nice story, that’s all. Anywho, for no reason at all last night the story made...
Caution: Making little to no sense.
Its 5am. I have been up almost 24 hours straight. I have laid in bed since about midnight just thinking. Wondering what and who is worth it. Praying, hoping for an answer of some sort. Have you ever been around a bunch of people you may have known for years only to realize they are all just a bunch of strangers? That’s how I feel. Like I don’t know anyone. Like nobody even knows...
