I look back on all the bad.
I look back on the faces that tore me down.
All those who spat in disgust.

No more. The future holds so much to be desired.
Your jagged tongues will no longer hurt me.
I am stronger than I was.
You are still but a lowly child clinging to the idea of becoming a man.
Be gone with your heinous lies.
Be burned by your ill desires.
And be aware of what you’ve created; a fighter.

You lost the day you thought you had control over my life.
No more.

The only person I so badly want to talk to is the only one I can’t get ahold of. Praying for a safe trip. Proud of my favorite Marine.

No one notices the pain that the smiling faces hide. No one sees the tears that they cry. The pain we feel goes left unsaid because dealing with the past is too painful to bear. As time passes, scars will fade, but never leave. The world can be so harsh, but if there is persistence then we can achieve the love we think we need.

How?

Thu, 15 Nov 2012 01:55:52 -0500

How do you pick yourself up when you need to?

How do you look past the evil tongues hissing at you when you need to believe?

How do you stand firm in your beliefs when people would do anything to see you fall?

How do you stay strong when all your tears well up?

How do you power through the agony you feel as the judgements begin?

How do you hold yourself together when all you want is to scream?

How do you overcome the people that hate you for nothing more than existing?

“Hey, Dad, look at me
Think back, and talk to me
Did I grow up according to plan?
And do you think I’m wasting my time
Doing things I want to do?
But it hurts when you disapproved all along
And now I try hard to make it
I just want to make you proud
I’m never gonna be good enough for
You can’t pretend that I’m alright
And you can’t change me”

(simple plan)

Your words echoed through me and left nothing standing in their path.

My hopes and dreams were torn in shreds as you stole my innocence away.

The feeling of abandonment seeps through my open scars for everyone to see.

Nothing’s more painful than a paper cut slicing through such thin flesh.

Had you only known how thin my chest was when you sliced through to my broken heart.

Your vile tongue will always remind me of the person you wanted,

The person I could never be.

The fact that I am still standing, moving forward means I haven’t given up the fight.

You can’t take that from me because you are the one who taught me to fight.

Every story starts with a beginning. A beginning that introduces a lifetime of possibilities. Like a work of art being strewn out in front of you. Every thread in a canvas is woven just so, interlocking every decision we make and leading to the next winding possibility. Decisions are made day-by-day and choices are what we define ourselves by. Life is a collection of our stories brought together in whole, leaving a tale to be told in passing time.

When one door closes, another opens.
But often we look so long, so regretfully,
upon the closed door,
that we fail to see the one that is opened for us.

“Well, now
If little by little you stop loving me
I shall stop loving you
Little by little
If suddenly you forget me
Do not look for me
For I shall already have forgotten you

If you think it long and mad the wind of banners that passes through my life
And you decide to leave me at the shore of the heart where I have roots
Remember
That on that day, at that hour, I shall lift my arms
And my roots will set off to seek another land”
― Pablo Neruda

Strength

Just because today is a terrible day doesn’t mean tomorrow won’t be the best day of your life. You just have to keep going.

Crying does not indicate that you are weak. Since birth, it has been a sign that you are alive.

No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.

~Eleanor Roosevelt

You have to accept whatever comes and the only important thing is that you meet it with courage and with the best that you have to give.

~ Eleanor Roosevelt

Believe that life is worth living and your belief will help create the fact.

Even in the darkest place, there is light. Even when you’re down, you can find the strength to get back up. Even when your hope runs out, someone will be there beside you. Life is about finding that light, getting back up, and finding hope again. No journey is meant to be easy, but it is meant to be worth it in the end.

Always Remember Your Dreams

Sun, 22 Jan 2012 18:43:50 -0500

Recently life has seemed to be getting the best of me. People seemed to disappear from my circle of friends, work seemed hopeless, and school just left me saying, ‘what’s the point?’ It felt as though giving up would just be so much easier.

I, like many other girls, couldn’t bring myself to turn off the tv when the movie ‘A Cinderella Story,’ starring Hillary Duff, started playing. Yes, I was drawn to the sappy story line of a not realistic romance and the complete turn around of a lowly diner girl into Princeton princess. I was only 11 years old when this movie came out and almost 9 years later at 20 I’ve realized the message hasn’t changed,

Life will always throw you a curveball or two, but as long as you don’t give up, you can always accomplish what you want. Or, as the movie had put it, “Never let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game.”

I have forgotten that lately, but I have found even the smallest moments can have the biggest impact on your life. A silly movie reminded me that life is hard and not everything comes easy, but as long as I don’t lose sight of my dreams then I won’t stray so far from the path I set out for myself.

Being reminded that life will always work out as long as you’re willing to work for it made everything that appeared so boring and stressful just seem less important and shed that anxiety I felt. Life is what you make it and I’m finally taking back control.

Maybe we should all be reminded of our dreams every now and then.

I’m starting to feel like the people that I call friends really could care less about me, especially when they don’t realize I’m not even around. I thought to have friends you had to be one, wish I hadn’t been forgotten.

Torn by time and the life around us.

TIme has passed and you are gone.

Not a faint sound remains from you.

Wish time hadn’t stolen a friend.

But maybe it’s true.

You were never one in the end.
