Rainbow Puddles

 I seem to find little things fascinating now a days. It makes me feel renewed. Like a small child just learning to run, to dream, and try to fly. I was walking outside the mall to find a puddle people just kept walking by it, but I just stopped and stared. How could no one notice the colors? It was a rainbow in a puddle. It was beautiful and all these people were so consumed by the world that they didn't even stop to notice its beauty. I actually slept in my window seat last night, just because I like watching the rain hit the pavement. I keep glancing over at my window because of the way the light reflects off of the rain drops. I find it troubling that people don't stop and smell the roses. Life's too short to waste on tears. Life's too short to frown. I think some people need to set their priorities straight. People are always going after what they want but never what they need. Think how much better the world would be if people just stopped an stared in awe at something. But this world is full of paper towns, and paper people doing paper things. I begin to wonder if anyone in this world is real.. or is it all make believe?

but the memories were not."

The Dog Days Are Over by Florence & The Machine

Happiness hit her like a train on a track
Coming towards her stuck still no turning back
She hid around corners and she hid under beds
She killed it with kisses and from it she fled
With every bubble she sank with her drink
And washed it away down the kitchen sink

The dog days are over
The dog days are done
The horses are coming
So you better run

Run fast for your mother, run fast for your father
Run for your children, for your sisters and brothers
Leave all your loving, your loving behind
You cant carry it with you if you want to survive

The dog days are over
The dog days are done
Can you hear the horses?
'Cause here they come

And i never wanted anything from you
Except everything you had and what was left after that too, oh
Happiness hit her like a bullet in the head
Struck from a great height by someone who should know better than that

The dog days are over
The dog days are done
Can you hear the horses?
'Cause here they come

Run fast for your mother, run fast for your father
Run for your children, for your sisters and brothers
Leave all your loving, your loving behind
You cant carry it with you if you want to survive

The dog days are over
The dog days are done
Can you hear the horses?
'Cause here they come

The dog days are over
The dog days are done
The horses are coming
So you better run

My Phantom Obsession

A couple of weeks ago, I saw the Phantom of the Opera at the Pantages Theatre in Hollywood. I had always loved Phantom of the Opera, but after that, it was if my obsession was intensified. I made my father put the entire album on my iPod, I learned all the lyrics and how to sing them perfectly, bought the book and its sequel (Love Never Dies), and even began to have to sing the songs during class. I had become a Class A Phantom fanatic. Seriously I have masks and red roses all over my room. I constantly quote the movie in my statuses on facebook. It's an obsession that will not die. I found myself wondering why I loved it so much. Then I realized that it was because it represented to kinds of loves. Love that formed through friendship. Or love at first sight, a love of pure passion. So I guess in a way its like the love guide book, it shows you which way to take.. There's a different one for each person.

you deceived me. 

       I gave you my mind blindly.

Learning to Trust Again.

 I haven't felt this way in a long time. The butterflies in your stomach, the grins on your face, and how all you can do is think of how to kiss them. He makes me want to live like its the last moon rising, scream just like no one's there, and loose all of my defenses. He makes me feel complete. He makes me want to step outside my comfort zone and just be. His hugs take my breath away, and he's just amazing to see. He's funny and maybe he's everything I needed. Maybe all my wishes upon stars are coming true..♥

   Trip over love, you can get up. 

Fall in love and you fall forever.

Learning to Fly

A smile, a word, or a look can influence a person. The smallest gesture can alter a person’s life forever. My story did not quite happen this way. I was not changed by an action or a person. My life was changed by a little bird, the little bird that taught me to fly.

            I was running through my life doing the same things with the same people every day. I had a routine, a routine I would seldom break. I would get on my knees and pray every single day. I prayed for the same thing in the same way. I said the words, but they had no emotion behind them. My life was a life without freedom. On one unsuspecting, sunny Sunday afternoon, my routine was forever altered.

            My life was so busy that I hardly had the time to stop and think, to ponder, or to just daydream. I was sitting in the parking lot waiting for my mother to come pick me up when I saw a snow white owl sitting on a tree branch. My first thought was how beautiful and serene it was, and then I began to wonder what an owl was doing in Southern California. I began going over the scenarios in my head for why an owl would be this far down south, when I began to realize that this bird didn’t need a routine. This bird was free. The bird went wherever the wind took it. The bird never knew where it was going, but it had known where it had been.

            I looked back on my life and began to realize just how meaningless it had been. The same routine day after day was no way to live. I looked at the bird and found myself asking, “You could fly anywhere you want to, why are you staying here?” Only then, I found myself asking me the same question. Why should I be confined to a single routine? It was amazing to see how this little bird could be such an example to me. I suddenly didn’t want to say those meaningless words over and over again. I wanted those words to mean something. I kicked my routine and started actually living my life. When I prayed to God, it wasn’t a routine or a mantra anymore; it was a relationship with God.

             A little insignificant owl helped inspire me to spread my wings and fly. The owl taught me how to live and kick my routine. The owl inspired me to go out and live I own life. People can be inspired by the simplest things. It doesn’t have to be something huge. It could be something small that you never knew could teach you more about life than most people can. This little bird helped my soul, my life, and someday my dreams take flight. 

     You alone can make 
dreams take flight.

Life Unexpected

The simplest gestures, words, or actions can touch a person’s life forever. Just a few short moments, or even days can change your whole perspective on life. For me, all it took was a boy and a summer. A summer, that’s all it took, to change my life. My life was forever changed.

            I was just a girl, always lost in a book or a song. I was completely oblivious to the world. I tuned myself out to everyone and everything, too afraid of being hurt. And he was the boy that took a chance on me. He saw something in me that no one else did. He came alongside me, and taught me to take chances, taught me to trust again, and taught me to love. He was the best thing I never knew I needed. He had faith in me, when I didn’t even have faith in myself.

            I used to write. I would write anything; essays, novels, poems, and songs. I just stopped. I lost my faith in God, and I lost my faith in pretty much everything else. No one would tell me I was wrong, or sit me down and argue with me. No one knew what to do with me, so that’s exactly what they did. They did nothing. He told me I was wrong. He would sit me down and yell at me till I listened to him. Suddenly, I found myself smiling, I started to write again, and I found not only my faith in God again, but I also found my faith in myself.

            All he had to do was not give up on me that was all it took for me to feel like a new person. He stayed by me that entire summer. He made me laugh and he made me mad. He was just simply there. The simplest action touched my life deeply and made me an entirely new person. One summer, that was all it took to change everything I had ever known. One summer saved my life.

       The best things in life are unexpected 

- because there were no expectations.

What to Do by Demi Lovato

Tell me what to do about you
I already know what I can see in your eyes
When you're selling the truth
'Cause it's been a long time coming
So where you running to?
Tell me what to do about you

Chorus:
You got your way of speaking
Even the air you're breathing
You could be anything
But you don't know what to believe in
You got the world before you
If I could only show you
But you don't know what to do

Tell me what to do about you
Something on your mind
Baby all of the time
You could bring out a room
Oh yeah
This day has a long time coming
I say it's nothing new
Tell me what to do about you

You got your way of speaking
Even the air you're breathing
You could be anything
But you don't know what to believe in
You've got the world before you
If I could only show you
But you don't know what to do

You think about it
Can you ever change?
Finish what you started
Make me want to stay
Tired of conversation
Show me something real
Find out what your part is
Play it how you feel

Tell me what to do, about you
Is there anything, anyway
Won't break us in two
'Cause it's been a long time coming
I can't stop loving you
Tell me what to do about you

You got your way of speaking
Even the air you're breathing
You could be anything
But you don't know what to do believe in
You've got the world before you
If I could only show you
But you don't know what to do
Oooh
You could be anything
But you don't know what to believe in
World before you
Show you
But you don't know what to do
Yeah

Back to September

Looking back I realize I made a lot of mistakes with you. You were my first love, and when I finally had you like I always dreamed of, it was perfect at first. Then, we just started to fight, we made mistakes, and I just got scared. I had gotten scared before, I must have ended it four times before that. Why can't I just let you go? It turns out freedom isn't anything but missing you. I'd go back and change it but I can't, and I got back to September all the time. I hear your in love, I hope she treats you better than I did. But this is me swallowing my pride saying I'm sorry for that night. You gave me all your love and all I gave you was goodbye. I wish I could go back and change it, but I can't. And I know the chain is on your door, so I understand. I just thought you should know.. that I lied. I do love you, forever and always.


      I may regret the way we ended,

but I will never regret what we had.

By Your Side

It really is true when they say: 'Friends come and go, but you and me.. We're forever.' I've had good friends, and I've had my fair share of bad ones too. I always thought I was better friends with the ones I had known longer, but that wasn't true. I realized, that it wasn't about the one's you knew the longest. It was about the friends that came, and never left. The friends that saw you at some of your worst moments, and still love you. The ones that are always making you laugh, the ones you can trust. It was sad to think that I had only had friends that I had known forever, but none of them were good friends.. They actually took advantage of me because I was nice to them and genuine. This year I realized I had made some really good friends, friends that have always been here for me.. And aren't leaving. I think that my relationships with my friends, have been the best. I could not ask for better people in my life. They are leaving, and that's all I could have ever asked for.

       It's not about who you've known the longest,

its who stayed by your side and never left.

Permanent Marker by Taylor Swift

 I know he loved you
A long time ago
I ain't jealous of you
Just thought you should know
You were never good enough for him or anything like me
So you might as well sit back 'cause I ain't tryin' to show maturity


X is the shape I drew through your face
In permanent marker
Oh yeah
Just like the mark you knew you were makin'
Who do you think you are
To write on his heart
In permanent marker

So I found that picture
Of you in that green dress
Sure had a good time
Cleanin' up that mess
He found 30 other pieces but he'll never find 'em all
Tried to tape them back together
Now he knows to keep it off the wall


X is the shape I drew through your face
In permanent marker
Oh yeah
Just like the mark you knew you were makin'

Who do you think you are
To write on his heart
In permanent marker

Well I don't appreciate you callin him to reminisce
The only reason is you're seein' just how much better off he is


X is the shape I drew through your face
In permanent marker
Ohhhhhh
Just like the mark you knew you were makin'
Who do you think you are
To Write on his heart


X is the shape I drew through your face
In permanent marker
Oh yeah
Just like the mark you knew you were makin'
Who do you think you are

Back to December by Taylor Swift

I'm so glad you made time to see me.
How's life, tell me how's your family?
I haven't seen them in a while.
You've been good, busier then ever.
We small talk, work and the weather
Your guard is up and I know why.
Cause the last time you saw me
Is still burned in the back of your mind.
You gave me roses and I left them there to die.

So this is me swallowing my pride,
Standing in front of you
saying I'm sorry for that night,
And I go back to December all the time.
Turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you,
Wishing that I realized what I had when you were mine.
I go back to December, turn around and make it all right.
I go back to December all the time.

These days I haven't been sleeping
Staying up playing back myself leaving,
When your birthday passed and I didn't call.
And I think about summer, all the beautiful times
I watched you laughing from the passenger side
Realized that I loved you in the fall.
Then the cold came, the dark days
when fear crept into my mind.
You gave me all your love
and all I gave you was goodbye.

So this is me swallowing my pride, Standing in front of you
saying I'm sorry for that night.
And I go back to December all the time.
Turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you,
Wishing that I realized what I had when you were mine.
I go back to December, turn around and change my own mind.
I go back to December all the time

I miss your tan skin, your sweet smile,
so good to me, so right,
And how you held me in your arms that September night,
The first time you ever saw me cry.
Maybe this is wishful thinking,
Probably mindless dreaming
If we loved again I swear I'd love you right.

I'd go back in time and change it but I can't
So if the chain is on your door, I understand.

But this is me swallowing my pride, Standing in front of you
saying I'm sorry for that night,
And I go back to December.
Turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you,
Wishing that I realized what I had when you were mine.
I'd go back to December turn around and make it alright.
I'd go back to December turn around and change my own mind.
I go back to December all the time.

The Technicolor Phase

Where do you go when you've reached the end of the line? When everything in your life is black and white, when you've hit rock bottom, there's only one way to go, up. I never thought I'd doubt myself, but I did. I gave up on myself. Suddenly, I didn't want to pretend to be happy anymore. I just broke down and cried. It felt good to just let out my emotions and not put up this fake facade. After that moment, I decided I couldn't pretend anymore. I wanted to be myself. I wanted to be happy. The next day I woke and I felt like I was living in a different world. I saw color everywhere. I did not just see black letters on pages, meaningless words that I heard every day. I saw ink spiraling, forming pictures. I saw the blue in the sky and imagined an underwater world flying right before my very eyes. I saw the world in a whole new life. The grass was not just merely green anymore, it was living, breathing, giving life. My entire world felt refreshed. I was in a whole new world. I was soaked in color, soaked in life, completely renewed. I was happy. The world wasn't colorless anymore, and all it took was a moment, a song, and my eyes were opened. Don't be blinded. Soak yourself in the rays of color.

I have dreamed in my life, dreams that have stayed with me ever after, and changed my ideas; they have gone through and through me, like wine through water, and altered the color of my mind.

If I stay..

There are those moments in your life where you wonder what would happen if you were given a choice. A choice between life and death. Most people would elect to say they would rather live. I think many people would choose to live because they are frightened of the unknown. People become uneasy when they do not understand a concept. Indeed life after death is a frightening concept. Many of the doubts people have is: "What if there is nothing after this life?" "What if I was wrong?" "What if I end up in Hell?" These fears are very real. There are some questions that have no answers, there are also some answers that we would be better of not knowing. Death. It is funny how a five letter word can have so much fear and confusion in it. But, that's all death is. A word. You might ask how I am unafraid of the unknown. The answer is simple. Death is not unknown to me. I know exactly where I will go. I know that I will be loved and safe. I'm seldom wrong. So if you were to choose life or death, what would you choose? Honestly, I would  choose life, not because I am afraid. Simply because God put me here to change the world. And that's what I intend to do. No more of the "Obama Change". It's time for "God's change".

You are altogether beautiful, my darling,
      beautiful in every way.

Remember Me

I've thought about much throughout the last few days. What if I died tomorrow? Would anyone care? Would they cry? Would they even come to my funeral? Will I be forgotten? In the end, you never realize how crucial every moment, every word, or even every breath is. You never know, it could be your very last. I want to change the way the world thinks, the way they respond to certain situations. I want my last words, my last breath on this Earth to mean something. I don't want to be that some girl that died, I want to be remembered. I just want to mean something to someone. I want to be someone's best friend, someone's lover, someone's hero. I guess what I really want is to be important. I want to live fearlessly and be someone. I want to change the world. I'm not the only dreamer who dreams of doing the "impossible". But I believe with a certainty, that nothing is truly impossible. So remember me for who I am, as a lover, a writer, a dreamer, and a believer. I remember sitting outside the night after the meteor shower believing that God could make anything happen, even a day late. I sat outside for hours, and then it came. Meteors shot across the sky. It was truly beautiful. That's when I realized, nothing is impossible. Because God is greater than anything, He can do anything. I believe that He has a plan for each of us. So we can all do the impossible and be remembered. Remember me, please.

Growing Up

It's funny when you walk through the halls as a freshman, and I walked out the door as a sophomore. Its an overwhelming feeling. You don't know quite how to feel. You're feeling a flood of emotions. Where did the year go? What didn't I get to do? Oh why didn't I do better? Why wasn't I good enough? All these questions seem to be running through your head and you don't know what to do. That's when you realize that its over. Your first year of highschool that you had been waiting for forever, is just gone. You realize you wasted the entire year being someone you weren't. You completely lost yourself. You're ashamed, and you don't know what to do. I was that person this year. I've done some pretty stupid things this year. I started cutting again. I was in so much pain. I lost control. I started pushing everyone I loved away. I realized that dwelling on my mistakes wasn't going to help anyone. So I started to fix myself. I just stopped. Maybe it's just me, but couldn't you believe? That everything I said and did wasn't just decieving and the tear in my eye, and you're cold, hard face. Makes me wish that I was never born into this place.. It was hard being that someone. All I ever did was try to make it work. Do you remember when you were a child? And you were so innocent? Well I implore you to not let that innocence go. I promise you, that you will not regret it. I regret letting that innocence go. I miss myself. I used to be a girl that was in tune with her emotions. A girl who did not think with her brain, but a girl who's only duty, was to her heart. I hate myself. For what I've become. I hate being who I've become. But then I look at myself and realize, if I hate who I am, then I'm not that person. I'm not that person because I hated that person. I had enough sense to see who I was. I've changed a lot since then.. I discovered that there is no secret to happiness. All along I was forever searching for something that didn't need to be found. Happiness, is a choice. And I chose to be happy. Learn to love the simple things.

Afraid To Fail

I am at the point in my life again, where I feel like I'm not good enough. These past few days have been hard, I have not wanted to do anything. I sometimes forget how strong I really am, how I used to stand when the waves were trying to pull me under. I'm so different than how I used to be, now I've hit the bottom of the ocean and am looking back on the happiness I used to have. All I am is a light in the darkness, I've been struggling to stand up when everyone is trying to push me down underneath the waves. I used to just let them too. I let them kick me around and pull me under. I didn't have the will to fight. I realize that I was wrong. That was never what I wanted. I never wanted to feel useless and hurt. I wanted to stand and be strong. My father had always raised me to be a fighter. I slowly started to remember how much I had changed. I wanted to be a strong person like my mother and father. I remember how strongly I used to fight for what I believed in, but lately I had become so wrapped up in myself and how I felt sorry for myself. It was all my fault where I was in my life. And that was they day I woke up. I realized that my life wasn't going to magically fix itself, I needed to step up and work on my life. That day I got home and decided my life was unorganized, so I cleaned my entire room and organized it. I decided I was overweight, I signed up for volleyball, softball, and basketball. I decided that I had become lazy, I helped my mom whenever she needed it. I decided I had become lazy in school as well and I knew I was better than that, I signed for ASB (Associated Student Body) and Drama. I decided that the insults I had been recieving and people treating me badly was unacceptable, I stood up to them and stood up for myself. I CHANGED. I changed because no one else could help me if I couldn't help myself. That's when I decided it was time for a new revolution. Not of hate, but of loving yourself for who you are. It is time to raise your voice and join the rebellion.

At Depth

Ever since I was a little girl I dreamed of becoming a marine biologist. Today that dream is coming closer to becoming true. I recently enrolled into a SSI Open Water Diving Course, so I may get my license. Today I took the test to get my license. And after fifty questions of shear torture, and thirty minutes of waiting. I passed my test and will recieve my Open Water Beginner License and NitrOx license. Next weekend I will be participating in 5 Open Water dives in La Jolla Shores to complete my Certification. Though the reason I even began to complete the certification course is because I will be attending a Marine Biology Camp. At Sea Camp II, Marine Biology camp, I will be going on a night diving trip to swim with sharks. Today for my final course of diving we went to the WaveHouse at Belmont Park, this is also where I met Ian. We tried on Scuba gear and practiced. My partner was very nice, since I was so short he bended down so I could help him with his gear. I have enjoyed every minute of it. Diving is so peaceful. You're just there, floating in perfect serenity. Without the worries of normal life, you're at perfect peace. It's my first breath of peace.
