“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...
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...

Anonymous asked: I just want you to know how wonderful you are. We don't know each other and may never meet in person despite living in the same city, but you should know you will always be loved and respected by me for your strength and the beauty of your words. You don't know me, but you've moved me and made me want to be a better person. Thank you so much for being the person that you are, and...
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...

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”...

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..

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...

Life is bittersweet
These past few weeks, or even the year as a whole, have really tested me and I find peace knowing that I have so much to be thankful for. Things aren’t always okay; in fact rarely they are. Life is a organized mess. People come, go and stay. What matters the most is maintaining happiness and finding the ones who will stick by your side. Family members may decide to move away, divorces do...

Too often people do not understand the complexity of my degree and I have to fight for that; which validates my passion for communication and organization. Since I am a first generation college student and my degree isn’t well known, people tend to misinterpret what my career will be. I hope to explain it. Society as a whole tends to give credit to people who become doctors or lawyers, which is...

“You may not be her first, her last, or her only. She loved before she may love again. But if she loves you now, what else matters? She’s not perfect - you aren’t either, and the two of you may never be perfect together but if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice, and admit to being human and making mistakes, hold onto her and give her the most you can. She may not be...
“Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell them things that you’ve never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at you. When something...
“The most important things are the hardest to say. They are the things you get...”
Never Forget… On this somber day, let us remember not only the 2,976 individuals who lost their lives on 9/11/2001, but also the 4,702 coalition forces in Iraq, the 2,706 coalition forces in Afghanistan, and then 100,000+ Afghani and Iraqi civilians who have died in the past decade as a result of 9/11. Let’s ask ourselves the question: how many more people have to die?
"When I grow up..."
The phrase “when I grow up I want to…” is used so often. But is it really thought about? Do people ever really grow up or simply learn right from wrong and support themselves. Still yet there are those who never become independent and well, everyone is different. Differences make the world beautiful. The comparing and contrasting qualities of people color the world with...

From the outside looking in
Life is too short to be sad. Death is no stranger to me and I’ve seen people just waste their life away. I don’t understand it. Life is so precious. And although I may be dealing with so much, I have what feels like the weight of the world on my shoulders, I still keep going because I know out there someone has it worse than me, someone has no family or no home. And so therefore...
Everyone has a Nemo(:
In time you will know what it’s like. To want to put someone before your very own self. Just to hear their name and you smile. To be there for them no matter the circumstances or time of day. It doesn’t matter what anyone says or thinks as long as you know that person is happy. Love is Heaven and Hell all at the same time. It’s a rollercoaster of ups and downs but, it’s the...
A Song.
Music is such a beautiful form of art and expression. A song can bring you back to a certain time and place. Lyrics can make you smile or cause you to shed a tear.
I was driving today and the song “Wanted You” by The Secret Handshake started playing, it brought back so many August nights a few years back and it made me miss it oh so much… I would do just about anything to go...
Sometimes the hardest thing and the right thing...
In life we encounter choices daily. If we make one decision it will take us down a certain path, if we decide to take the road less traveled, it just might change your life for the better.
When making these decisions, it can be extremely difficult and heartbreaking, or it could something that your heart is screaming out the answer to, therefore the answer is clear. But not always do we have that...

“I was raised in Oklahoma where flip flops come out in February, everyone pulls over to let a funeral procession pass, we don’t have fire flies - we have “lightnin’ bugs”, “taters” are mandatory, “y’all” is a proper noun, chicken is fried, biscuits come with gravy, sweet tea is the house wine, and you never, ever disrespect your...

This is my 999th post on tumblr!
: )
I go through my Facebook feed and so many are complaining about the heat or traffic on the highway. Why not enjoy those things? It is way better than not having a car, being stranded on a desert in 100+ degree weather with no water. Or you could be fighting for the country, or keeping your own self alive against the natural causes of life such as a disease or incurable sickness.
So much is taken...
Heartache&Happiness
Throughout life you will encounter those who bring a smile to your face or the ones who take it away.
Someone who wants the best for you, will never hold you down unless they’re stopping you from making a mistake.
Life is full of ups and downs. Those missed opportunities and paths your thrilled you took.
No matter what happens it is important to never give up on your dreams or your...
“The best years of your life are the ones in which you decide your problems are your own. You do not blame them on your mother, the ecology, or the president. You realize that you control your own destiny.”

True friends love you until the end. They’ve seen you at your best and your worst, caused a smile and wiped a tear. Those are the ones whom you want to keep near. No one knows what this life will bring but it’s important to take what you’re given and make the best of it. Days are going to be hard. Days are going to be beautiful. You’ll lose people you never thought you...

Proof behind the words.
Every once in a while I have an inspiration to write and once I have it, I feel like it could never end. I am so glad I have a passion that no one could ever take away from me.
As I was watching the movie Burlesque it made me realize how much I adore women with talent and who go out there and make something of themselves. Everyone has potential for this world but so few grab ahold of it and run...

(Well this is the post I have to re-type) :/ Sometimes I really dislike technology.. grr.
Today has put me on a roller-coaster of emotions.
But I would like to take time out of the craziness of my life to say a few special words to a handful of people :)
My Mom - She is not only a mother to me but also a bestfriend. I have never met anyone else that has endued so much hardship and she still...
noooo! :( I had SO MUCH typed out and then it all got erased! :(

Elixir of life.
Hello Tumblr, I would like to update you on my life.
This boy, Zach Lilly, well he makes me incredibly happy. But those words “incredibly happy” don’t even begin to describe the emotions that I experience because of him. It is just craziness to think of how we met, if that register in BestBuy hadn’t messed up, if I wouldn’t have gone over there, and if he would have...
