excerpt

In The Morning

there's
this golden moment
when the sun
licks through the gauze
fluttering at my window 
warming my eyelids to opening

this golden moment
when I'm not yet awake enough
to remember
that there are things
I would rather
forget.

-Stop Pretending by Sonya Sones

Anger


For every minute you remain angry, you give up sixty seconds of peace of mind.

"You Inspire Me"



I think the greatest compliment you can give someone is, “You inspire me.” And that is the reason I blog. Not because I’m waiting for someone to come along and say it, but because I want to be the type of person that inspires people. I want to inspire people to be passionate or be positive. To be open-minded or to follow their dreams. Or maybe just to enjoy life, because like everyone says, it’s short. I think I’m starting to believe that more every day. And if I can make people value their lives and not waste them away on worrying or being negative, then that is a huge compliment to me.

Music

I really can't understand how there are some people out there who don't like music. It just boggles my mind. Music is literally my life. I may not play an instrument or read music, but I'm one of those people who can cry if they hear a beautiful song. And every time they listen to that song. I appreciate meaningful lyrics that make you think or feel as if you've learned something new. A song can make a moment or help you remember one. And for the people who claim they don't like music, they're liars. Everyone has a certain song that they feel explains them or is them. 

"Music expresses that of which cannot be put into words and cannot remain silent."
-Victor Hugo
