fold the corners BREAK THE SILENCE
Its obvious to me that no feelings are the same. But we come damn close!
There's something about that sweet intoxication that brings me back. The vibrations from my feet up to my chest. The way my ears ring after five minutes. The way the crowd pulses around me. It's total complete bliss. It's always there. Nothing compares. Shows.

The circumstances weren't quite the usual when I met him. Far from home with a lot on my mind. He was a hero to this small town. He did not immediately catch my eye. A boy, perhaps like any other. And yet, so much more. A greeting, a smile. The sky fell. A symphony. Ryan.

With only a little bit of money and some hope. We ventured the long hard quest headed out west. Through mountains and over, around valleys so quaint. Taking directions from faceless sheets of direction. The air was cold and fresh. Filling our lungs with anticipation. The reson we breathe. To live on. Our hope. Altoona.

This may be the closest I'll ever come to explaining myself. I have no drive to be rich. I have no desire to grow old. I have no need to work a job i hate to buy things i don't need.
I DO have a LUST for LIFE. I LOVE to LIVE. I LIVE only to LOVE. I won't pretend to be someone I'm not and I'll tell it LIKE IT IS. I'm all about FLAWS b/c lets face it thats all people see anyway. That feeling of being alive that only comes once in a while is what makes my heart beat on, pumping more than blood through my veins. I'de be a liar if I told you I've never been in love. I am. Not with a person but with life. Something I truly am grateful for. I have no idea what road is going to get me from where I am to where I'm going. I know where I am isn't where I want to stay but i'm here now and now was once only a thought. I made it. I can do anything b/c of it. This thought was triggered by looking at the big picture and knowing the secret success of my simple life. Simple. A simple life doesn't seem possible does it? I found what makes me happy and what brings me to life and I'm keeping it.
Greatest moments of my life

8) Altoona Ryan

10) An amature photoshoot on Amanda's front lawn in 8th grade.
11) Presents for HIPV
12) Hearing my dad say "your right" for the first time after a fight.
13) Reading The DaVinci Code and realizing just b/c something says "Thats all there is to it" doesn't mean theres nothing more. There ALWAYS is.
14) Deciding to notgo back to OCC.
15) Giving Kenny Vasoli my favorite scarf.
In no particular order of course. And I'm SURE theres so much more but each one listed has EVERYTHING to do with growing up. And sometimes I feel like I'm growing up to fast. Truth is, I already did. "Childhood is over the moment you realize your gonna die someday". I realized what death was long before im sure i was supposed to and even though i spent that bus ride in tears wanting more than anything to tell SOMEONE and understanding there was no one to tell b/c it would happen to them too one day, I wasn't scared by it still today i live for now. Tattoos, peircings, shopping, shows, saying whats on my mind. I do it now b/c later never comes.
