Ok so I kinda have a response to my own previous live journal post. You have to follow me with this analogy. Picture this. You are in a garden. On your left, there are beautiful roses. Along the stem of the roses there are many thorns, and it is quite apparent that in order to take care of these beautiful and precious plants, you will need much ( Read more... )

Omigosh. So, I never really realized how loud trash trucks really are when you are up close and personal. Yesturday, I had the strangest experience with one of them.

You grew up and developed and became the most beautiful of jewels...Later I passed by and when i looked at you and saw that you were old enough for love, I spread the corner of my ( Read more... )

Remember those times as a little kid when you would look up at your parents and say... "I wanna be when I grow up?" As we grow up our plans change. Things happen to us that alter the way we thought things are supposed to be. It's hard to get adjusted to this idea that maybe the way we thought it was destined to be isn't really the way its ( Read more... )
