Why I should pay more attention in class.

I found this in my notebook, I wrote it during class. So, it needs some work, obviously. =]



I know that you don't understand
why I am the way I am.
I stand as strong as I can
and I wish you were there to hold my hand.

Should I be alone and play it safe
Or, will tomorrow be a better day?
Shall I hold my breath and take the dive?
It's a wonder that I'm still alive.

I know the words they all wish to say,
and how they wonder why I don't just run away.
Follow my heart, or what's in my mind?
Turn my head and close the blinds?

You've given me a reason, as well as a story.
I'll write it all down and take all the glory.
Ignore those who are bitter, they're quick to judge.
They've chosen their sides, not willing to budge.

If you were to feel the way I feel
you'd bottle it up, and swallow the pill.
You'd take it daily, sit back and relax.
It's the fact of the matter, as a matter of fact.

Concerning the art of living, loving, and laughing

The following post contains some of my favorite pictures of my favorite people in the world. Some may say we've been wild, and we have. Others may think that we live recklessly, and this may also prove to be true. However, we have always said that if something were to happen, we'd regret nothing. This isn't easy for most people to say and really mean it. We have had countless nights where we stayed awake until the sun came up, and we just talked and laughed all night long. We've gone through deaths and births together. We all came together, and formed a backbone on which we all use for support. We are family, and have a unusual type of unconditional love. Without all of the experiences and memories we have made together, I would not be the person I am now. I have truly been blessed, and I often forget this.
I learned all I need to know about life from the people that I surrounded myself with. As we grew up, we came to realize that life is too short to be anything other than happy. We've lived by the rules that you must dance like no one is watching, sing too loudly, celebrate anything, drive too fast, take too many pictures, smile too big, love like you've never loved before, dream in color, and believe that anything is possible if you want it badly enough. So many people live their entire lives searching for the "secret" of happiness. I think that we were pretty lucky to figure this secret out at a young age, and practice it with no mercy or fear. See, we've loved and laughed forever, and all you ever need to know is to always love and laugh.
