february poetry

Here are a couple pictures and short poems I wrote in the past month.

Music:

the sound of your voice was music to my ear

and now that your gone its all I long to hear

you were my favorite song

even though we were wrong

now it is so quiet

no music

just fear

Dreams:

I had another dream of you

I awoke in tears, praying it was true

but then reality hit

and my heart sunk a bit

I wonder if you dream of me too

Things:

Things just aren't the same

and I can't help but want to place some blame

it could have been you

or it could have been me

I just want these bad memories to just let me be

missing you:

Its so hard missing you

even after all we've been through

because if I let myself grieve

then I'll have to believe 

that what happened was never really true

Like I mentioned in my last post I have decided to change up my content. I thought I would start by sharing some poetry I wrote and some pictures I've taken, and hope to continue to share more of my writing in the future. Have a great day :)

Life Update (Please Read)

Happy belated New Year everyone! Let me start off this post by expressing my apologies for my lack of posts and absence from social media. Not only have I been incredibly busy with my advanced classes and extracurricular activities, but I had a few unexpected curve balls thrown my way in recent months. Now that some of that excitement is dying down I feel I owe all of you an explanation, witch unfortunately isn't a short one because it is due to a large number of circumstances. One reason for my extended vacation from blogging is because I feel too stuck in the format of my blog. I started this blog back in 2014 with no idea of who I was as  a person. Everything I posted about was extremely materialistic and impersonal, witch is not what I want for my platform. I want a space where I can talk about real things, explore other passions, and share my writings and feelings. Recently I feel that this blog is still stuck in that original plan I had, and I want to break free from that mold and post content that I am passionate about, not all the fake superficial things I found myself writing posts about over an over again. Not that all my old posts were meaningless, I stand behind all of my previous work, I would just like to use my platform for more important things, and use it as a space to share who I really am, not the person I am trying to act like. I don't know if that makes any sense, but the thought of that has kept me preoccupied for quite some time. I'm not sure what is going to happen with this blog moving forward. I've considered restarting with a completely new blog, but I don't want to let this one go. One thing is for sure, that from now on anything I am putting out online will be genuine and things I feel good and passionate about. Thanks to all of you who have been on this blogging journey with me, this blog has helped me grow up in ways I cannot even express. Hopefully we can continue this crazy adventure together too.

Messy Heads Mag Review

I FINALLY GOT MY MESSY HEADS MAG! I have been wanting this ever since I found out about the Messy Heads back in the spring. When I first heard about who the Messy Heads were, it just kind of clicked. They were everything I stood for and how I wanted to express myslef but didn't have the voice or know how to do so. They changed the way I see so many current issues, myself, people around me, and the whole world. They even influenced the way I write this blog. I used to only write about superficial things like antiques and clothes, but know in addition to that I have started to put out more meaningful content. All thanks to the way they inspired me.

Anyways, back to the mag. This magazine is page after page of inspiration and empowerment. Flipping through the seemingly endless words and art, I couldn't help but feel and home, and really in touch with my inner self. Getting to read things by other people who feel the same way I do made me fell less alone in this world. Trust me when I say this is more than just  magazine, a website, or another group of wanna-be fake internet famous people- it is a revolution.

Thank you so much to all the Messy Heads out there- you changed my life.

Back to School 2016

I know this collage doesn't go with anything, I just really like it.

So let me first start off by apologizing for being so inactive. I am so incredibly sorry. Trust me when I say I would rather be blogging than spending over an hour on homework every single day. I'm going to try and get back into the swing of blogging, now that the back to school excitement is starting to die down. Thank you so much for staying with me.

So I just finished my second week of freshman year of high school. It has been crazy. A new school, new routine, and harder classes are making for a very interesting experience so far. I definitely did not know what I was getting myself into when I signed up for all advanced classes. For that I now have tons of homework upon homework upon homework. Although I am really excited for this next week of school because it is homecoming week. I get really into spirit days, so I can't wait. Also on Saturday I have homecoming, yay! I can't wait to show you all the vintage dress I bought for it!

Football season has started, so for me that means cheering along the sideline. I love me cheer team so much, and I'm not going to lie, we're pretty good. As if one extracurricular activity wasn't enough, I decided hey, why don't I just never have time to do anything and join something else. I am in my school's fall musical. It's going to be tons of fun, and I haven't acted in a few years so I am so excited to get back on stage. So, I hope I'm going to have time to breathe (and hopefully write blog posts) this semester.

Thank you all so much for sticking with me. Hopefully when all of the beginning of the year craziness dies down, I can get back to a regular posting schedule. I'll try to post something this week, but defiantly look for my post next weekend.

August 2016

    August went by so unbelievably fast its hard to believe that it is actually over.  It has been a month full of camping, long cheer leading practices, lake swimming, summer homework procrastination, football games, parties, and lots of fun with my friends. Now that it is September, I have to soak up the last few days of summer before schools rips me away. Unfortunately that means lots of studying, homework and the general high school drama. Lucky for you guys, I have some exciting posts planned in September. I know that in the past my schedule has gotten kind of weird when I am in school, but I'm going to try my hardest to be releasing content frequently for you all. Anyways, this August I have had my vloging camera glued to my hand, and at the end of the month, I had 21 minutes of footage! Of coarse, I only narrowed it down into only a few minutes. Also in this vlog I tried a new style of editing, and I think I am going to stick with those vibes from now on, because I am really proud of this video. I hope you enjoy!

Summer to Fall - An Original Poem

Summer To Fall

Summer nights are fading fast, although these careless days weren't mean to last. Toes in the sand, fun in the sun, but now a new era has begun. I say farewell to our reckless love, as vibrant leaves fall from above. People will say it doesn't mean a thing, that you were just a summer fling. But I hold you closely to my heart, as changing seasons rip us apart.

So, I have never really shared my poetry or writing like this on the internet before, but I have been feeling super creative lately, so I don't know, maybe I might start sharing more.
