This is how we are fading.

Sometimes I think the only things that make sense in this world are God, music and writing. Heck, even God can be confusing at times. Amazing, but confusing. Us mere mortals can barely grasp his intentions and commands. We have mice ears. He has eagle eyes. Anyways, I've always stuck to strictly poetry in this handy little blog. But I figure since I'm a journalism major and plan on writing a few books in my day, I'll let you see a little more into my mind. A little, not a lot.

Music: What speaks to our hearts better than this? High school was hell for me, and music kept me in one piece. Hell as in Mean Girls hell...Matilda hell....the beginning scene of "He's just not that into you" kind of hell...think of all those movies that bring you back to your dread some adolescent years. Remember 13 Going on 30? Before she was cool, of course. Remember Never Been Kissed? That's a little bit too far. It was more that I was the one girl in my school who didn't have mile-high pageant hair, ed hardy on my chest, and MEKs straddling my legs. I was stuck to my huge Bose headphones. They were too intimidating....nobody wants to get near a girl with Bose on..trust me. But thanks to Joshua Radin, Bon Iver, and Lovedrug...I made those years much happier. Thank you music.

Poetry: You're quite a beautiful thing. Even if I'm not that great at it, it makes sense to me. I love to write...to keeping writing...to not stop writing. Even if it leaves people face down in the dust from confusion, it was well worth it. There are so many great stories to tell, so many emotions to explore and so many words to combine. It would be pointless to stop. Thank you poetry.
