we were seventeen when you were taken from me... i miss you more each year. i wonder about you... what you are doing, where you are, if you are at peace. i often wonder if you ever watch me, and know that the smile on my face is because i was thinking of you. your photo is always with me, it stays in the frame you gave me. it will never leave my hands... i promise. one day we will be together again, and we'll lay on my front lawn and laugh at the stars, & everything will be perfect.

always & forever;

how unbelievably..

uninspiring.

I'm learning not to sweat the small stuff. This last year has been about finding strength within myself- not looking to others for it.

Fall down seven times...

Stand up eight.

Hopefully you've learnt your lesson.

Face life as you find it-- defiantly and un-afraid. Waste no energy yearning for the moon. Crush out all sentiment.

It's sad when someone you know, becomes someone you knew.

La vie est un échange constant de la beauté pour la sagesse.

ALL THINGS SPLENDID

HAVE BEEN ACHIEVED

BY THOSE WHO DARED

BELIEVE THAT SOMETHING

INSIDE THEM WAS SUPERIOR

TO CIRCUMSTANCE...

hate is easy, love takes courage

These are some words put together

to remind you

they are all just words.

Some use these words as tools

tools that stress the fact they are cruel

cruel words lack respect, love, trust.

But in the end words are all just words.

Words can't hold your hand while your eyes talk

words can't be your friend while your mind runs a muck.

You can't feel safe in the strong embrace of words

because my love

words are just words.

So don't worry up your mind

and don't believe all that's said.

Focus on what your heart feels

because after all words

don't define

moments of the heart.

Moments of the heart define words

after they have been read.

-Not my words.

finally, some sense

You were not born cut in two, so why are you still looking for the other half?

restless & wylde

Stay in one place too long and sometimes it really seems that you can feel the grass growing underfoot. That’s when you know for certain that it’s time to move on. Often we journey in search of something–ourselves, love, adventure, understanding, the place we belong. Sometimes we go simply because we can’t stand to stay where we are or because of an almost desperate urge for movement. You have them – the friends who stayed at home and settled down. You look at their lives and can’t imagine finding happiness that way. They, on the other hand, look at your life and wonder why you always have to take “the long way around.” Different strokes, right?

Some people are content to sit on the shorelines, but those of us who travel know that we’ve got to get out there and chance the rapids, dance in the tides, and follow the dream wherever it leads. Sometimes the road is lonely and the destination isn’t always clear, but the dream is always big enough to compel us to walk down that road time and time again.

The best thing in life is finding someone who knows all your mistakes and weaknesses yet still thinks you're completely amazing.

There's a ghost in my mouth

And it sighs in my sleep,

Wraps itself around my tongue,

as it softly speaks

then it walks with my legs,

to fall, at your feet.

Seems that I have been held, in some dreaming state

A tourist in the waking world, never quite awake

No kiss, no gentle word could wake me from this slumber

Until I realize that it was you who held me under

Felt it in my fist, in my feet, in the hollows of my eyelids

Shaking through my skull, through my spine, and down through my ribs

.....:Built myself a castle on the beach, and watched as the sea took it away.
