Quiet in My Town

Today was hard for a lot of people. 

I would be lying if I said that only today will be hard for them. 

You can say everything will be okay all you want, but for those people, okay is a long way away. 

I wasn't sad at first, I didn't know him all that well. But as I sat and thought about it, some things occurred to me. 

Someone lost their son today, their brother, their friend. 

That is when my heart broke, I know the unimaginable pain I would be in if anything were to happen to my sisters, my friends. 

My heart is heavy for those people, words cannot express how sorry I am that you have to be put through this. 

Sometimes the world seems so ugly, so cruel but we have to remember the beautiful things, the love. 

Everything will be okay, but it's going to be a long road to get there. 

To those who knew him well, I am so sorry and my heart and prayers are with you. 

If anything this reminds us all that time is a precious thing, and never to let a moment pass where "I love you" can be said. 

Again, my heart and prayers go out to Emilio's friends and family. 

R.I.P Emilio you will be missed by all. 

Because It's Nine in the Afternoon

Love Gives Someone The Power To Break You. 

Scary. 

Scary mostly because it's true. 

When you love someone you're taking a HUGE risk. 

The question you have to ask yourself is, 

is it worth it? 

If tomorrow it were to all fall apart, would you at least walk away knowing you're a better person because of them? 

If you can answer yes to that question, then jump. For the love of God jump. 

You may get your heart broken but at least you know that you have one. 

And it's the rough side of life that polishes us into smooth perfection. 

But if you never live the rough, you'll never be polished. 

You'll never have learned anything, you'll never have taken a "leap of faith". 

It's going to be hard, maybe the hardest thing you will have to do,

 but do it. 

It will pay off one way or another. 

Either you'll find that "ONE" or you'll have found the person that teaches you a lesson. 

If you look at it right, it's really a win, win. 

So go, take that leap, God would want you too. 

Or else I think the bible would have been a completely different story if it weren't for all of his followers who just had faith. 

HAVE FAITH. LOVE SOMEONE.

The End. 

Me

I'm the girl who hates to be left behind, but will never ask you to stay. 

I'm the girl who says "I'm fine." when I want to scream. 

I'm the girl who smiles all day but cries all night. 

I'm the girl who will push you away when I want to hold you close. 

I'm the girl who blares her music because I don't want to hear the world around me. 

I'm the girl who looks at the stars and wishes I was one of them. 

I'm the girl who walks along the beach with no shoes because I love the feeling of sand. 

I'm the girl who only has to give you one look. 

I'm the girl who seems approachable, but then you learn your in WAY over your head. 

I'm the girl who wants you to hold her hand, but will never ask you to. 

I'm the girl that pretends to be strong, because I am so weak. 

I'm the girl who will give you everything and ask for nothing in return. 

I'm the girl you wish you knew more about, but never will. 

I am me.
