City of Love

Paris is always a good idea!

This photo was taken inside the Moulin Rouge (I'm not sure how as camera's are prohibited, but there you go). In a time were I couldn't have been more confused or looking for guidance, Paris and this girl cleared up so many things. I learn't that it is okay to not always have the answers to all of your questions, and that I do not always need to have a plan. The beauty of life is watching it unfold with all of it's secrets and hidden wonders and it is merely our fortune to take part in the adventures presented to us. But no matter what happens, Paris is always a good idea.

Life

Countdown

30 weeks today till I get to play in this concrete jungle! ♥

I am yours

It all comes down to the last person you think of at night. That's where your heart is.

STAND UP

What if you met someone who made all your dreams come true

I have never been so fully completed by anyone in my entire life. I cannot wait to conquer this world with you, one step at a time. I am 100% completely and utterly in love with every single ounce of you.

I've Learned

I’ve learned that you cannot make someone love you.
All you can do is be someone who can be loved.
The rest is up to them.
I’ve learned that no matter how much I care,
some people just don’t care back.
And it’s not the end of the world.
I’ve learned that it takes years to build up trust,
and only seconds to destroy it.
I’ve learned that it’s not what you have in your life,
but who you have in your life that counts.
I’ve learned that you can get by on charm for about fifteen minutes.
After that, you’d better know something.


I’ve learned that you shouldn’t compare yourself
to the best others can do,
but to the best you can do.
I’ve learned that it’s not what happens to people,
It’s what they do about it.
I’ve learned that no matter how thin you slice it,
there are always two sides.
I’ve learned that you should always leave loved ones with loving words.
It may be the last time you see them.
I’ve learned that you can keep going
long after you think you can’t.


I’ve learned that heroes are the people who do what has to be done
When it needs to be done
regardless of the consequences.
I’ve learned that there are people who love you dearly,
but just don’t know how to show it.
I’ve learned that sometimes when I’m angry I have the right to be angry,
but that doesn’t give me the right to be cruel.
I’ve learned that true friendship continues to grow even over the longest distance.
Same goes for true love.
I’ve learned that just because someone doesn’t love you the way you want them to
doesn’t mean they don’t love you with all they have.


I’ve learned that no matter how good a friend is,
they’re going to hurt you every once in a while
and you must forgive them for that.
I’ve learned that it isn’t always enough to be forgiven by others.
Sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself.
I’ve learned that no matter how bad your heart is broken,
the world doesn’t stop for your grief.
I’ve learned that our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are,
but we are responsible for who we become.
I’ve learned that just because two people argue, it doesn’t mean that they don’t love each other.
And just because they don’t argue, it doesn’t mean they do.


I’ve learned that sometimes you have to put the individual
ahead of their actions.
I’ve learned that two people can look at the exact same thing
and see something totally different.
I’ve learned that no matter the consequences,
those who are honest with themselves get farther in life.
I’ve learned that your life can be changed in a matter of hours
by people who don’t even know you.
I’ve learned that even when you think you have no more to give,
when a friend cries out to you,
you will find the strength to help.


I’ve learned that writing,
as well as talking,
can ease emotional pains.
I’ve learned that the people you care most about in life
are taken from you too soon.
I’ve learned that it’s hard to determine where to draw the line between being nice
and not hurting people’s feelings and standing up for what you believe.
I’ve learned to love
and be loved.
I’ve learned…

Runaway

Nostalgia

I miss you so much sometimes I would almost swear that I cannot breathe. It is overwhelming and suffocating. People say that these sorts of things get easier with time, but then again, people lie. I miss the way you could always find me, no matter where I was hiding and how you could make everything seem one millions times better with a few simple words. You had this ability to always make me smile, despite always being the reason I was upset. I miss the stupid little hairs that grew on the insides of your arm and your little belly chuckle and I miss the way you would apologise to me a million times over for ruining everything and trying to justify it with absurd reasoning. I miss the cold nights when you'd wrap your jacket around me and we'd swap stories and your hugs that could squeeze the life straight out of me. I miss the long drives in your stupid old pick up truck with the sun burning my face and you singing all the words to songs that I never knew but could never forget. You were all my firsts and so many of my lasts, but you were undoubtedly everything to me and I probably would have let you continue to be for the rest of my life if you didn't take yourself out of the equation.

And so I miss you, more that I could ever explain, more than I have ever missed anyone in my entire life. I miss you like I miss the stars when I look up at a dark night sky and sometimes I wonder what I would give up to have a guarantee that everything between us could have worked out. But I have no way of knowing, do I? I never had a chance of knowing a god damn thing with you because you were a giant book of secrets and fallacies that I finally unravelled for you. Maybe you weren't ready to have all your secrets realised into this big world that is always waiting to swallow you whole, but I will never apologise for making you feel real and raw. Because for a few years there, you were finally real and you were alive. Wasn't that so much better than being submerged for all this time?

I have so many questions to ask you, so many things to tell you and so so much that I need your help with. But you are gone and things are never going to be the same again. You changed me more than I could ever explain and catapulted me into this world alone before I was nearly ready. I miss you. I wonder if you feel the same.

Justice

"Pac stood up, and it's the first thing you heard him say in like, two weeks of court. 'You know, your honor, through this entire court case, you haven't looked me or my attorney in the eye once. It's obvious that you're not here in search for justice, so therefore there's no point in me asking for a lighter sentence. I don't care what you do cause you're not respecting us, this is not a court of law; as far as I'm concerned, no justice is being served here, and you still can't look me in the eye. So I say, do what you wanna do, give me whatever time you want, because I'm not in your hands, I'm in God's hands".
