Day 2
To: Mom.
Dancing and singing in the car, as if no one else was watching,
Long talks at night where we seem to agree on everything,
Being on the boat and living carefree,
All the laughs on a daily basis that we bring out in eachother,
Thank you for all the beautiful memories that I will never forget.
Day 1
K- Know that you are your greatest enemy, but also your greatest friend.
Y- You come to love not by finding the perfect person, but by seeing an imperfect person perfectly.
L- Live for the moment, not for the memory.
A-A dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world.

I don’t get the pleasure of saying I knew you very well, but I’ve only heard amazing things. You were such a beautiful, talented girl, and it’s such a shame that God’s plan for you had this outcome. Well, all we can think is your in a much better place now and you will always be loved and missed. R.I.P <3
Overwhelmed.
This is my favorite time of the year<3
Back to school time, starting everything fresh and new, all new classes, all new teachers, all new everything. I have no doubt this is going to be the hardest year ever, but I’m trying out this new thing where I don’t focus on the negative things and just on the ones that make me happy! I may have only hard classes in my schedule, but I’m optimistic in taking the challenge! Plus, this new year gives me a reason to go shopppiinng! I swear I’m like a closeted shopping fanatic.. The only thing that has me stressed is there is SO much to do, and only two weeks till school starts. I have not done one ounce of preparing or shopping, so I am a bit doubtful I will everything done. Oh well, that doesn’t stop my excitement!
