Ordinary World

I am almost 18. I have been in love and might still love him. I have an amazing best friend who on occasion drives me crazy. I go to school, clean the kitchen and go to work. Emily and I are practically glued together at the hip.
I eat,
sleep,
and  breathe softball.

I crave the feeling of adrenaline and exhilaration every time I walk out on the field. 

It's my release, 

my escape,

my freedom.

It is something to focus on without having to remember I just got yelled at, or that I bombed my last history test. Both my parents work a lot, so my life seems to revolve around my little brother. Making sure he gets from here to there. Are his chores done? Did he do his homework? 

Pretty ordinary wouldn't you say? 

But if Emily died, I would die. 

If one of my parents died, I wouldn't know how to survive. 

If I became crippled....I can't even imagine...

I would have no purpose. How could I live? 

On the other hand......I graduate this year! 

What if Em and I move in with her sister? 

I am going off to college, how will I handle myself? 

I am growing up....am I ready?

Starts With Goodbye: Carrie Underwood

My Story

Dear Whoever Is Listening,

     High school...such a short period of time in our lives, yet so many people make it out to be the Superbowl of life. I'm sure you have heard the term "the high school experience" more than once in your life. What the hell does that even mean? My high school experience is whatever happens to me while I'm in high school, and whoever tells me that I'm missing out on high school because I haven't gone to one football game is full of it! I take pride in my school but that does not mean my world has to revolve around it. Life is life and sometimes shit just happens, but that's the perspective I can't seem to keep track of. My birthday is coming up in about a month and I'm not gonna lie....I am dreading it. I hate to bring in superstition but bad things happen on my birthdays, starting since I was 8. I had my first party and invited 12 so-called "friends" to come skating. They all said they would be there, well only 2 showed up. Just last year someone I love said goodbye 5 days prior to my birthday. I'm 18 this year so I'm really worried I'll lose my best friend, my dad will die, or my legs will fall off, but whatever happens I can't lose perspective and just have to roll with the punches. I have to stop trying to control what happens and worry about changing how I can react. Life doesn't have to be as hard as I'm making it out to be but it sure ain't easy.


                                                                                                Yours truly,
                                                                                                 Rose

Dear Disconsolate

     Happiness is laughing till it hurts, till you can't breath, till you cry.

It's having a dance party in a thunderstorm,

and making cookies but eating half the dough before a single piece touches the pan.

Happiness is knowing someone's got your back,

or a hot bath and your favorite music.

Happiness is being home alone and doing your OWN thing.

It's performing to the best of your abilities,

and smiling even when you have no reason to.

Happiness is going to THE Harts for re-fills with my best friend.

Happiness is having a purpose,

    driving around with no place to go,

        staying up late because the book is too good to put down.

Happiness is completely your choice.

               It's so full of feelings no one can understand.

Happiness can't be bought but achieved.

Happiness is different for every person.                    

                      

Happiness can be a trial,

A  l  o  n  g  term commitment.

Happiness is a verb.

     Happiness takes more than words but requires no money,

                                 and having the motivation to keep truckin.

It can be love but it's learning to be happy without it that makes love so great.

Happiness is out of the park, a touchdown, a 3 pointer,

...easier said than done.

No one ever said it would be easy, they only said it would be worth it.

"Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect. It means that you've decided to look beyond the imperfections."

Yours Truly,

Encouraged

Starts With Goodbye

There's a choice you gotta make

              Piercing words, eyes are red

                            Tied together with a smile

                                     Like falling when you're trying to fly

                                             Please believe me, it's never easy

                                                        I think about you all the time

                                                           Didn't you know how much I loved you

                                                                      But here comes goodbye?

                                                                            What hurts the most

                                                                         Empty heart filled with regret

                                                It's like trying to spin the world the other way

                                                                                        You never told me

                                                              You're not sorry that it's over

                                                    But for the way you made it end

                                                 I wish you never made me cry

                                            It's hard to force that smile

                                              Having so much to say

                              And watching you walk away

       Never knowing what could have been

                 So I said all I had to say

   In letters that I threw away

        I guess it's gonna have to hurt

           I guess I'm gonna have to cry

              I guess it's gonna break me down

                To let go of some things I've loved

                     To get to the other side,

                          Somewhere up ahead

                                   Getting there means leaving things behind

                                                 Sometimes moving on with the rest of your life

                                                                              Starts with goodbye

Rock Out Like No One Is Watching:)

Rock out like it's the last time you'll ever hear your favorite song again.

 Rock out like you just made the most delicious recipe with complete success.

 Rock out like it is the hottest day of the year in Pheonix, Arizona and you just heard you're going swimming....

 

 

Rock out 

like they just came

back out with 

mint

Carmex.

Rock out like you just got tickets to a concert sold out months ago.









Rock out like there is no tomorrow and you just recieved 10,000 dollars.





Rock

          like you just hit you're
first walk-off home run.










Rock out like he finally told the truth,
Like he said he was just kidding.
Like you finally figured out he's just not that into you and you're okay with that.

 

Rock out like no strings are attached. Like you've given up trying to put on a show and finally decided to live. 

Rock out like it's what you actually want to do and you don't give a damn if anyone is watching.
