The Real World
Staying focused on one stream of thought has always been very difficult for me. I feel as if I always at least one hundred ideas swimming my mind. There are times that this drives me insane, those are the moment when I just want to sit back to enjoy a moment. However, other times I find myself very thankful for this. I can get so lost in my own head. No matter what is taking place around me I can very easily take a dive into things that only exist in my own mind. Since I was a child I have used this to my advantage. When life begins to overwhelm me I take a deep breath and roll through the scenarios in my head. This may make seem as if I do not know how to deal with reality, but that is false. I exist rather well in reality; I believe we all do. It is called being human.
I hate when I state when of the harsh aspects of life and someone says, “welcome to the real world.” Really, there is a fake world? I wish I would have known about this sooner because I would much rather be there. I think it bothers me the must when I here an adult tell a child this. It leads me to believe that such an adult does not believe a child can walk through hard times in life. That because of their age somehow life is just easier for them; I believe this to be false. In my short amount of life I have seen some young children face horrific times and do so with the bravest face. That would be the real world; that would be a child that walks in reality.

Not as sad...
As I sit here my minds is racing. I am full of words spoken in recent conversations. The past few days I seem to have come in contact with several people that were willing to admit their brokenness. As sad as it makes me, it fascinates me to see humans be vulnerable. For a brief moment in time people let down all walls and take off all mask to show you a window into their soul. A window that is rarely seen through, only glimpses through blinds hung carefully to keep you out. People spend so much of their time trying to hide how broken they really are. We hang words like curtains. Everyone lies and pretends to be strong but the moments where complete honesty breaks out are the moments when life takes my breath away. I have a hard time admitting me weakness so when people are broken with me it makes it easier for me to be real with them. As scared as it makes me to be open, I love the thought of being close enough to someone to let down all barriers. There is such a freedom in feeling so loved that truth can be spoken at all times.
How could I not see the truth in you bloodshot eyes?
So blinded by you wicked disguise
Being held in your hands was my demise
You were my world
Now that you have walked away where do I stand?
Can I even stand?
Passion bleeds through my hands
Disaster strikes in all my plans
This is the only me I know to be
Wishing they could all just see

Carvings in my brain

I like list
So I want to blog but I was not sure what to write about. So I have decided to just create a random list of facts about myself. I know how much people want to read about me. J (That was a joke)
1. I love to write but have the hardest time keeping up with a blog.
2. I think I do not keep up with my blog because at times it feels like I am talking to myself.
3. I love painting and drawing even though I am not very good at it either. And no I am not just fishing for compliments you can even ask my mommy.
4. I love taking pictures of anything and everything; it helps me remember good times.
5. I wish I were musically talented that way I would feel more justified in my obsession with music.
6. I find music to be a great driving force in my life. I cannot count the amount of times a song has caused me to act on something or to hold back.
7. I hope one day to have books of mine published but I am terrified of my thoughts not making sense to anyone else.
8. I have always wanted to be part of a band; yes, even though I do not sing or play an instrument.
9. I love celebrating life and it makes me sad that many people do not. I look for reasons everyday to make that day special.
10. I have never understood why grass has to be green or why leaves cannot be left alone on the ground.
11. I love to read. However, I often find myself getting stuck on one book and reading it over and over again.
12. At night I convince myself that sleep is a waste of time and I regret this in the morning.
13. Must people get songs stuck in their heads but I get little phrases stuck in my head with songs.
14. I laugh and cry a lot but cannot seem to make myself laugh or cry at a movie.
15. I hate drama in real life and I feel like I do a good job avoiding it but I love watching television shows full of it.
16. I find it enjoyable to learn and absorb information.
17. When people read my writings I feel the most vulnerable and at the same time I feel guarded. When you are reading my words you do not see into my eyes the same way you do when I speak to you.
18. I love Alfred Hitchcock movies.
19. Shoes are an obsession of mine.
20I call text messages little gifts. They make me happy.
21. Imagine how much I love a letter in the mail if a text makes me that happy.
22. People think I wear dresses because I love dressing up but really I just find them super comfortable and you do not have to match them like you do pants and a shirt.
23. Meeting new people thrills me. Long conversations with people I just met makes me feel alive.
24. I tend to be so passionate about things that at times I cannot see past my own stupidity.
25. Mix cds put a smile on my face.
26. Windows rolled down, music wide open – best kind of nights.
27. I really do enjoy giving people gifts but in a selfish way. It makes me feel good.
I guess those are enough facts about myself for now. I am pretty impressed if you are still reading. Thanks for wanting to get to know me.
First one to laugh, last one to cry
If only you knew how heavy this smile can be

Too many nights I have cried
Too many days I have lied
Telling you I was strong enough
Telling you I was tough
My heart is breaking and my mind cannot take it
I cannot keep running
My feet are blistered and my head isn’t clear
I just want to know you feel the same pain
--------------------------------------
I hear your voice
It’s calling my name
Yet I run like mad
I need to belong just to be found
Yet I run like mad
Hiding and crying
Pleading and dying
My lover’s delight is where I need to set my sight
Distractions twist me and turn me
Trying to stand strong
All I need is to fall to my knees
-----------------------------------
Broken pieces that will never be the same
Shattered hearts and slamming doors
God pull us all out
The building is on fire and we cannot get out
Left with only our screams
Can anyone hear these cracking voices

Such a beautiful life torn apart by her own demise
Everything in place, such a soul of grace
Yet chaos she teased only wanting to please
Dancing with deceit losing all care
Disgrace and displaced she wants you to see
Too many nights I have cried
Too many days I have lied
Telling you I was strong enough
Telling you I was tough
My heart is breaking and my mind cannot take it
I cannot keep running
My feet are blistered and my head isn’t clear
I just want to know you feel the same pain
Betrayal in your eyes
Such twisted demise
Falling short I believed your lies
You threw your dagger at my face
All I see through the bleeding is your disgrace
I have no pity for your ways
Words Words Words. Life to my weary bones. –Darren Hudman
