I’ll be there, yeah I’ll be there for you..

“Childhood is not from birth to a certain age and at a certain age
The child is grown, and puts away childish things.
Childhood is the kingdom where nobody dies.”
-Edna St. Vincent Millay

Who has the authority to say at this age you become an adult? I think it is contextual, it varies by individual, it is either everlasting, never beginning or it comes to a dead end. [With varying options, of course]
An everlasting childhood may be something like Peter Pan. The child who never wants to grow up and seizes every day as a new adventure, an opportunity to see the Seven Wonders, a way to escape from the duties of life. A way to indulge in the deliciousness life has to offer.
A childhood that never begins, is one that is stolen from society or from the factors they are born into. People are forced into adulthood without experiencing the beauty, innocence and creativity of a childhood.
A childhood that comes to a dead end is one in which you have a set date of when you become an adult. There is no more room for making a house out of a cardboard box instead your days are filled with your career or whatever it may be that you have decided to fill your time. The richness of imagination seems to have slipped through your fingers.
Whatever it may be there is no doubt that a childhood from ten years ago is nothing like a childhood today. What happened to coloring books, bicycles, having a curfew of when the street lights went out - has transformed into iPods, touchpads, who has the fastest internet and who can pull all nighters playing video games.
Maybe this new reality is just an adjustment we have to make but as for me I don’t want to lose my grip on imagination. Technology may influence and benefit my life but never will it control it.

“Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I’ve tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.”
-Robert Frost

You just have to trust that there’s a reason certain people didn’t make it to your future. People come, stay & go throughout different seasons, moments & chapters of your life. What is important is realizing why, appreciating the time spent, learning from it all & making the best of the precious life you are given. although difficult, don’t take anyone for granted & remind those you love, just how important they are. You never know what battle someone is facing.

I need you right here, by my side
You’re everything I’m not in my life.
We’re indestructable, we are untouchable
Nothing can take us down tonight
You are so beautiful, it should be criminal
that you could be mine.

And we will make it out alive
I’ll promise you this love will never die!

No matter what, I got your back
I’ll take a bullet for you if it comes to that
I swear to God that in the bitter end
We’re gonna be the last ones standing

So believe me when I say, you’re the one
They’ll never forgive us for the things we’ve done

And we will make it out alive
I’ll promise you this love will never die!

A couple that had been together for 72 years shared their final heartbeat together last Wednesday. That’s pretty intense.
The man stopped breathing; but the woman stayed alive for exactly one more hour. The man kept a heartbeat because it was coming from her since they were holding hands.

Stuff like that doesn’t happen very often these days. It’s become “normal” and acceptable for relationships to last 5-30 years.

It just takes dedication. You’re gonna push and pull each other but what’s important is always fighting for that balance, staying faithful, remaining friends and strengthening your partnership. You can fall in love everyday with the same person. No, it’s not easy. But it is worth it to an unexplainable degree.

Happy 71st birthday, Grandma! I miss you and love you dearly. If only Heaven wasn’t so far away. Birthdays are not the same without you..

Boy + Girl = ♥
Boy + Boy = ♥
Girl + Girl = ♥
Love is stronger than gender.

I was at work today and a man was buying an electric guitar. He decided to share his story with me. Him and his band have been playing at the fair and there was a young girl who had been there every night to watch. She told the man that she always wanted to sing and play guitar. And he said why not ask your parents for one for christmas. And she gave him a look like that will never happen. And he asked the girl if she wanted him to talk to the parents and she said no, it’s okay. So him and his band gathered their money and came to BestBuy to buy an electric guitar for the girl to help her dreams come true. It was so wonderful to hear. It definitely made me smile.
