Grace and Curls- a twisted kinda beautiful new beginning.

Just some words and lyrics telling my thoughts and emotions on my mind for this day and week and weeks to come. </3 Rascal Flatts and Natasha Bedingfield- Easy The truth is   That I miss lyin' in those arms of his   But I don't ever let it show   I laugh and I act like   I'm having the time of my life   as far as he knows   It's easy goin' out on a Friday night Easy, everytime I see him out I can smile, live it up Like a single girl does But, what he, what he don't know is how hard it is to make it look so Easy  ___________________ You Could Be Happy- Snow Patrol You could be happy, I hope you are You made me happier than I'd been by far Somehow everything I own smells of you And for the tiniest moment it's all not true Do the things that you always wanted to Without me there to hold you back, don't think, just do More than anything I want to see you, go. Take a glorious bite out of the whole world. So that is that. If I...

I'm writing this blog in honor of the fact that my blog is called "If I Die Today, I Think You Should Know:" and since the world was supposed to end today,  and since it's not midnight yet and technically still could.  :) So I just decided that because of all of the above facts, that it would be a great time to write down a few things that I would want people to know "if I died today." As most of you know I am living in Hershey, PA for the summer working as a stage technician at Hersheypark! So far, this job has been more than amazing and ideal. I have wonderful roommates, work with amazing people, and have seen some of the most beautiful countryside that I have ever seen in my life. It's so crazy because everything is just greener around here.. literally. There are cottages with vines all along the outsides, flowers everywhere, horses all over the place, and incredibly lush green grass everywhere! The performers that are in the show I work on, and in ...

As everyone knows,  whether we are in the last week or two of finals, or just in a plain hectic or crazy time in life,  we all get caught up too easily in what needs to be done,  when we need to do it, what the consequences are if we don't get it done, how we will feel like we failed,  and so on and so on. Just take this moment right now,  take a deep breath in...... let it out..... no, really, do this now if you aren't. and just say outloud "I will make it through this. I can do this." One more deep breath in, and one more out. Repeat that phrase. "I will make it through this. I can do this." Now take the next 2 minutes and 38 seconds away from Facebook,  close your eyes, and listen to this song, and listen to the words. I swear I'm not crazy, you will feel better after this, and if you don't, then you didn't take this brief time to relax! :) Just wanted to let everyone know that we can't live life chaotic all the time. I am guilty of...

Wow, where do I begin! It has been way too long since I have written one of these and I am very disappointed in myself. As usual, I've had many changes in my life and realizations and wanted to allow you into my mind for a little while :) I have traveled a lot recently! In the past month I've been to LSU for a forensics tournament, Atlanta for the South Eastern Theatre Conference(which brought me much success!), FSU for the American College Dance Festival where I performed in pieces from a recent dance show at Ole Miss and took some amazing classes, and then had one of the best 10 hour car rides of my life with three of the most amazing guys in the world. We shared things about each other and I got to know those 3 individuals more in that car ride than I've ever known about them in the past two years of our friendships. It was beautiful. Second of all, I did not get to go on the missions trip over spring break. I was pretty bummed but due to financial issues as well as t...

Wow, I feel like it's been way too long since I have written one of these things. And tonight, I have so much on my heart. This past weekend was a busy, but wonderful one. We opened and closed The Uganda Project! Some loved, some disliked. But I fully enjoyed myself through this entire experience and was honored to have been a part of it, no matter what others may say. It was a huge learning experience for me and taught me more than I could have imagined. I also got to see Mom, Dad, Ray, and Jay! :) Family and love makes my world go round. Being so far away from home and your family and friends is so difficult sometimes. I really miss the way I feel when I'm back in Georgia because it's just a totally different mood and emotional state I am in there. I reassure myself about being so far away in the fact that school is school, not necessarily social time. I've got my rocks of life back home that could never, ever be replaced by anyone. Those people make my life wonde...

When thinking of Valentine's Day, one usually thinks couples. boyfriends. girlfriends. kissing. candy. teddy bears. cards. balloons. hearts. red && pink. But when you get real with it all, isn't Valentine's Day ultimately about showing, sharing, and sending love to someone?  I mean does it really have to be a significant other? Can't it just be your best friend in the whole world that you know you couldn't live a day without speaking to? Or what about a mom or dad, or even a relative you haven't spoken to in a long time? So on this day, or even if it is tomorrow, or later on in the week; Do something loving for someone. Do something loving everyday, for the rest of the week, while thinking about  the true meaning of love. 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in ...

Blogging is on the minimal right now because my life is way too hectic at the moment.  However: Play this song right now, then read the rest of the blog :) Strip Me- Natasha Bedingfield It's been a stressful past few weeks for everyone I believe; Schools started back. Stress levels are high. Schedules are getting intense. So I wanted to give everyone a little Wednesday pick me up :) Plus it's 1:22am and I need a break from homework. So here are some happy pictures and a motivational/ inspiring song that I think you all will enjoy to start off your middle of the week morning :) Happy Wednesday world! I hope this makes your day a smidge better or at least start off brightly <3 Precious Bulldog Pup; we can call him/her "Chunk." :) Baby! Flowers in your hands; the world at your fingertips.  Happy Asian Family... Frolicking. Duh.  Love Pups In Hammock <3  Laughing Baby :)  Balloons. Add some fun to your day today, do something for yourself, dream a...
