Reoccuring R.E.M.

My dreams are floating just above me.
As I lift my shirt over my head to expose the me no one sees I reflect back.
Rewinding time. Remembering when this skin was younger, less experienced.
Tilting my head sideways I stare into the oak wood framed-- hallway mirror.
The time continuum ripple effect occurs in my mind.

I’m seeing a girl much younger now. Smiling.
Clutching her innocence ever so tightly, like a child clinging to her favorite teddy bear.
Skin so tender. Eyes so eager. Bubbly. Beaming. Brimming to overflowing with youth.
The ripple fades.
Who am I becoming?
It is a mystery to even the young woman growing before my eyes.

I shut my visions off for fear of them escaping..
Holding the younger me inside.
I won’t let your dreams go down the drain.
Even as life presses on.

God help us all.

Save Energy

Life is but a dream.

These past few months seemed to have passed like a blur.
But a lot has happened.
Can't wait to go back and read old entries.

But let's not distract from the purpose of this entry.

I've never felt so like I was drowning until yesterday.
Can't relive the same mistakes.
I did something yesterday that can't be reversed.
But--
My heart has never ached so much over anyone like lately.
I want to move forward and go at it alone.
Words of a wise friend taken from a common cliche, "Sometimes you have to let something/one you love go, and it they come back then it was meant to be."

I'm sorry for being so young.
I'm sorry for not being as understanding as I should have.
You deserve better.
One day maybe we can be that for each other.

Sometimes your best bet is to be alone.
Because apparently my sould quest is not done yet.
Stop racing to the future...
When the present is exactly what makes us who we are.

I miss you. I love you. And I'm glad I'm far away, so I can't worry you.
Someday maybe I can treat those I love as they should be...
Until that day...
*hugs self*

I think I'll just work on catching up with friends.
As LSD says, "Romance is overrated."

Lol no one said anything about love.
Call again.
<3 Je t'aime. Ai shiteru. Te amo. I love you.

Trial and Error.

Some might think I'm crazy...
Slightly true.
More like commonly misunderstood.
--
Disconnect.
My heart is...really too much for my body.
The inner complexities I sometimes experience--i.e. yesterday to me is even mind baffling.
And yet somehow I expect you to understand me.

Because you are my friend. And friends should be able to...right?
I think I need more air.
When I start getting flustered I search for an escape--a window to the outside.
So my everything can breathe freely.

No, I haven't meditated lately. And I should.
So my soul can breathe as it should.
This disconnect is scaring me.
And my friends too I think.

But what scares me the most is when I feel you slipping away.
Life will do as it pleases.
Will this road carry you with me? Or the currents take you away?

I know...this sounds deep.
But that's how I roll.
Legit.

Inspiration.

This is Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams (making out hardcore).
You know...from le film The Notebook?
Well...just got finished watching it.
And...
They're really together.
Spellbinding.

Is love to me really as simple as breathing?
I aspire to have something so deep.
*sigh*

Well anyway, I'm really here to leave you with a quote.
"The best love is the kind that weakens the soul-- the kind that brings fire to our hearts and peace to our minds."
-Noah, The Notebook


Entitled: The Hope[FULL] Romantic

Slowly peeling away the old skin.
I hope he's long gone.
It's time to grow up and time to move on.
I've found something new,
Yet old and this time I'm sure of what I hold.
Escape is not necessary.
And I am not running, not repeating, not regretting.
This is where that road ends, and a new one beg[a]n.

"It's that kind that I have for you, and the kind I hope to bring to you, forever..."-N.B.

I won't take this moment for granted

It's not cutting the fabric today.
All I've got to say is I have goals.
Currently all very immediate.
Like this shirt.
License tomorrow.
Relationship clarity soon -_-.
Getting a job.
Saving and NOT spending.

Just need to break this shell.
This thick, overbearing coat of childhood.
Still smelling coffee.

Serenity, solace, and peace of mind.
Think I'll go meditate.

My Heart's Desire.

So this is life...and I'm glad for it.
2008 is over, hence the dawn of a new chapter...
I guess.

The beginning
-->Spent with Shay and Dean really. Lol he was definitely there at midnight in spirit. <3
But on this day I realize so much. The little things I once wrapped my mind around are no longer important. I'm not interested, nor do I dwell on silly things. One thing I will give the psychic s that I have over analyzed. I need to let go more. Enjoy each moment, but not dissect it. Peace of highest importance in my life.

I have a moment to share.

Here I am on the bus stop, toes frost bitten. I just left Shayla.
Waiting. Wondering. There I realized this is life. I'm waking up.
This is your life. Take control. Stop letting things happen to you.
Ask questions. Get on the next damn bus. Lol. You'll get home.

Then I wander around trying to find a place to piss in the middle of the city...on New Years...
End up calling home. I ask for a ride. Freezing my f***ing toes off....
My dad doesn't want a damn thing to do with helping me.
He's rude...but I guess he had a point.
I found a cozy Nepalese/Indian restaurant.
This feels so relaxing.
I ordered alone. Waited for my folks.
They arrive. I grab my amazing dumplings and leave.
Minutes later...
"You need to act like you're 18. Take on your own cell phone bill. Do some shit for yourself.
Get a real job. And find your own way home. I ain't gonna be doing this shit for you for the rest of your life. I won't be there. "
I'm a daddy's girl. And sensitive. Guess on the inside my heart kinda broke again...
I know better. And I want to leave here badly...
Lol guess that's motivation.




My goal, my destination this year is to reach far beyond the minimal.
Don't just take what is handed to you. Go after what you want. Make life happen. Don't hold your feelings in. Spread the love. Kiss deeper. Laugh louder. Play harder. Release everything. Change is what makes life, life. Remember, guys will be there. Make TIME for what your really want. Remember temptation. Enjoy youth, but never act foolishly. Make each moment count. Passionately. Intensely. Always reflect.

I love you more than ever. I love myself more than ever. I am more beautiful than I ever was.
Wisdom is sexy. Spirituality is sexy. Carpe diem is my true fetish. Hence each day is better than the day before it.
FIN.
