This song means a lot to me, I really have strayed off the path of who I am..

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.

           Angel of Music,

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.

If I Die Young by The Band Perry

If I die young, bury me in satin

Lay me down on a, bed of roses

Sink me in the river, at dawn

Send me away with the words of a love song

Uh oh, uh oh

Lord make me a rainbow, I'll shine down on my mother

She'll know I'm safe with you when she stands under my colors, oh and

Life ain't always what you think it ought to be, no

Ain't even grey, but she buries her baby

The sharp knife of a short life, well

I've had, just enough time

If I die young, bury me in satin

Lay me down on a, bed of roses

Sink me in the river, at dawn

Send me away with the words of a love song

The sharp knife of a short life, well

I've had, just enough time

And I'll be wearing white, when I come into your kingdom

I'm as green as the ring on my little, cold finger, I've

Never known the lovin' of a man

But it sure felt nice when he was holding my hand, there's a

Boy here in town says he'll, love my forever

Who would have thought forever could be severed by

The sharp knife of a short life, well

I've had, just enough time

So put on your best boys and I'll wear my pearls

What I never did is done

A penny for my thoughts, oh no, I'll sell them for a dollar

They're worth so much more after I'm a goner

And maybe then you'll hear the words I been singin'

Funny when your dead how people start listenin'

If I die young, bury me in satin

Lay me down on a, bed of roses

Sink me in the river, at dawn

Send me away with the words of a love song

Uh oh (uh, oh)

The ballad of a dove (uh, oh)

Go with peace and love

Gather up your tears, keep em in your pocket

Save them for a time when your really gonna need them, oh

The sharp knife of a short life, well

I've had, just enough time

So put on your best boys and I'll wear my pearls

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.
