...to find out you can fly.

I went to church after not going the entire summer and it made me think:
Do I have to ask God to come back into my life, or was he always there?
and I looked back at my summer and couldn't help but feel blessed. I'm on the right track, I've been ridiculous happy, and still feel Him right there beside me. He was there.

Scripture says Jesus said "who do you say I am"... but who do people say I am, or you are?
What I hope is that I am still me, that people see my genuinity, my honesty, and care even when I do bullshit sometimes... I am me no matter what. I am still that little girl.

the sunset. simply happy.


sunset - marques houston
BBQ's tonight and I can't wait: I can't wait to have all that healthy love around us (TFM)... but things always come to a bitter sweet ending: As the fun and bonding reach that peak, it's already time to watch the summer set. I've been trying to avoid the subject in general, but I am leaving to move into school in exactly a week. I'm actually not far at all from all of eagle rock/ glendale, but when school comes around, people detach for one reason or another. I know for a fact though, that I have made some true friends; friends that will be exactly the same once summer comes rolling by again. These are the people that will check up on you, call to say I miss you, and the people that will never forget those endless summer nights. Whether at sages, jed's, kev's, monic's, hookah bar, wes', eagle rock mall, eagle vista, bell jeff, csun, howard johnson, scooter's, pete's, derreck's, david's, lala's, the spot, or even just on aim.... I will always remember how happy you kept me (even when doing nothing). Monic, Fran, Kev, Marc, Rissa, Joey, Aldie, DJ, Chris, Mon, David, Dereck, Missee, Jo ann, Mitch, Ysa, JP, Pat, Wes, Jenna, Scooter, Justin, and the other 10 I forgot to name... I can't help but love you guys.... but you know, it's about that time to let summer go, just so we can do it again next time. Keep in touch, stay sane, and be happy.

Sometimes you have to step away to see what you've got, let go to see how badly you need it, and sometimes you have to watch sunset just so it can rise again.

nite nite, sleep tight

The Foetus (41%):
Those who curl up in the foetus position are described as tough on the outside but sensitive at heart. They may be shy when they first meet somebody, but soon relax. Mostly women.
Log (15%):
Lying on your side with both arms down by your side. These sleepers are easy going, social people who like being part of the in-crowd, and who are trusting of strangers. However, they may be gullible.
The yearner (13%):
People who sleep on their side with both arms out in front are said to have an open nature, but can be suspicious, cynical. They are slow to make up their minds, but once they have taken a decision, they are unlikely ever to change it.
Soldier (8%):
Lying on your back with both arms pinned to your sides. People who sleep in this position are generally quiet and reserved. They don't like a fuss, but set themselves and others high standards.
Freefall (7%):
Lying on your front with your hands around the pillow, and your head turned to one side. Often gregarious and brash people, but can be nervy and thin-skinned underneath, and don't like criticism, or extreme situations.
Starfish (5%):
Lying on your back with both arms up around the pillow. These sleepers make good friends because they are always ready to listen to others, and offer help when needed. They generally don't like to be the centre of attention.

dear creepers...

Against the Pressure


Ice Skating, fencing, boxing, tennis, and gymnastics... Individual Sports... enough said. All alone you and the game, no one else to depend on but you. Five days a week, six hours a day, thirty minute warm up, four routines/ four events, one hour conditioning, half an hour stretch, three water breaks, and eight years of joy, sweat, and blood between me and the game. The pressure was so intense I can see my heart beat through the shiny leotard, feel my stomach clench into a rock, and hear my nerves rattle until a tear sheds. When it's just you and the game, it engulfs your life... not that you don't have the time to yourself, but when you're all alone you can't help but think, breathe, and sweat gymnastics. South Bay Gymnastics was my home, Chris, Jerry, and Paola were my parents and heroes, and gymnastics was my drug for life. Seven levels passed, one state competition, one pinch nerve, five hundred blisters, one broken elbow and wrist, fifty moments of defeat, a hundred of glory, and five years later, I live no regrets.... just memories of pride.

poema.... kind of

i convince myself
that things wont work out
because i never see myself through the wall thats never down
it protects me from what im afraid of
what i don't know, and what I don't want to see
but what it keeps me from is what i look for:
the real me truly being happy

So i live my sheltered life, i stay with what i know
ill keep myself distanced, never let this story show
with all the same friends, people, relationships
without the person i wanna spend my life with
.......

but when that day comes

the day i decide to climb, jump, and risk it all
he'll be right under me waiting...
with his open arms, ready to break my fall.

thankful.

Sometimes you meet people and something "clicks". They're as comfortable as the cold side of the pillow, as refreshing as febreze after a smoke, and as sweet as getting flowers just because its wednesday. They are so amazing in the simplest ways. And this is my story: "Angels" like that rarely show up in my life.... so when they do come across my path, I can't help but hold on; hold on so tight that they never cross a lovers path. They are too amazing to be anything else than friends that keep me comforted, keep me smiling with my heart, and
keep me high on that healthy love.

TRUE FRIENDS

TRUE FRIENDS dance so hard that they run into sticky fly traps, get flies in their hair, make u laugh so hard until you fall, and convince you to pick the dead flies out.... just to make your day and make that "healthy love even better"

ps ....... TRUE FRIENDS also send you a text about the same person, about the same thing, on the same minute. (right page, right paragraph, right word, right period)
