Something In The Dark

11:53 PM 0 Comments A+ a-

When we're surrounded by darkness all of our demons come out to play. Whether they're terrifyingly real or just a figment of our imagination they keep us restless for all hours of the night. As the silence remains they grow louder. We're trapped until the rising of the sun when they quickly retreat, only to haunt us again when the sun sets for another night of misery.

The problem was I had already dug my own grave so far into the ground that even if there was an apocalypse, chances were I would never be getting back above the dirt

Chasing Perfection

Everyone has their own definition of what constitutes perfection. But if we all view it differently then nothing is seen as perfect in anyone's eyes but our own. Why do we keep trying to chase something that doesn't exist?

When Everything Goes Right What If It Turns Left

7:07 PM 0 Comments A+ a-

Nothing makes me more scared or anxious than when things have all been going well for me for awhile. I just know there is some horrible thing looming in the darkness waiting to snatch my happiness away. It's the not knowing when disaster may strike that I fear the most. The sheer thought of all things wonderful coming crashing down and being taken away from me is the worst nightmare my mind could conjure. I shouldn't have to think like this but life as turned me into a pessimist, maybe even a realist. In most cases things never end as well as we image so when things are headed in the right direction am I wrong to think they might fail?

"If something isn't going right, go left" but what if everything is going right? Will the detour left be thrust upon us?

Every Piece of The Puzzle

8:24 PM 0 Comments A+ a-



Meeting people in life is like creating one big jigsaw puzzle. Everyone is there for a reason but it takes a while to figure out who fits where. Sometimes it’s an automatic fit but other times you think you’ve got it figured out but in the end it’s close but not an exact fit. Either way everyone plays an important role in their own way to complete the puzzle that is your life.

Time

2:09 PM 0 Comments A+ a-

It's been said that time has a wonderful way of showing us what really matters and it does that in so many ways.  We can measure who matters by how they spend their time. If someone always desires to spend time with you, it shows how much they care as well as how much you care in return if you wish to spend your time the same way. Also, in the large scale of time those who stick around for lengths of times play a big role in our lives for always being around. They see us through the joys and the tears and still wish the play a part in our lives. Don't measure how much someone cares in the silly things like goodnight text messages or Instagram likes as so many people do these days. In fact don't even measure it in how kind someone is to you, as many do to others as they wish they do to you. Just because someone shows you compassion doesn't mean that in the grand scheme of things they will really matter. Measure who and what matters most in time: who's always there for you and who wishes to spend all their hours with you.

It sucks when you know you're right when you so desperately wanted to be wrong. While we like to give others the benefit of the doubt, it's a shame to be not even the least bit surprised when someone lets us down.

Déjà Vu

Sometime I wonder how many times I’ll have to tell myself “someday you’ll learn” until I actually learn my lesson, how many times history must repeat itself. It’s like I constantly keep rereading the same book expecting a different ending.

Never Gonna Grow Up, Never Gonna Slow Down

8:19 AM 0 Comments A+ a-

I don’t ever want to grow up because it seems as you get older you lose your spunk and your love of life. Everyday becomes about work and bills, it’s like adulthood is where dreams go to die. I want to be spontaneous, carefree and live life to the fullest. I don’t want my ambition to be masked by the mundane repetition of a 9-5 job that I spend more time loathing than loving. I want to be wild, courageous and free.

The Fuzzy Future

Why is it that the most important decisions of our life are always up to someone else? You can put in the hard work and the necessary effort needed but our future is not in our hands. Getting accepted into college, falling in love, landing your dream job, getting your happily ever after, all those decisions ultimately depend on an answer from someone else. You do everything possible to make your dreams reality yet there’s still a chance that your world can come crashing down, all because of one answer that is not left up to you.

Bore Me More

“I’m afraid you’re getting bored of me”
                                      -Everyone's worry


Except you can never really get bored of someone, you just don’t care about them. There is so much to learn about people: their favorite songs, foods, what makes them tick, what they want to do in life, their dreams and aspirations. So many little details. You could go your whole life knowing someone and never know everything about them. People are always changing in small ways, from finding a new show to watch to finding a whole new interest, there is always something more we can learn about each other. We show we care but getting to know someone, asking questions and remembering details and important things. Everyone has such a unique story, much different from the person next to them. When learning all of these details, it’s impossible to get bored. How can you get bored with someone unless you just stop caring?

A Passing Thought

We accept the love we think we deserve yet we give more love than we accept. Is that because we are willing to make others feel better than how we are treated?

The Great Escapes

The greatest escapes literally take us nowhere but figuratively send us miles away from our reality.  Consumed in lyrics, lost within the pages of a book, or buried in our own writing we are worlds away from the mundane repetition of our day to day lives.

Time After Time

The Beauty of the Night

11:12 PM 0 Comments A+ a-

Something about the darkness pulls the deepest thoughts from every corner of our soul. The pitch blackness of the the night creates the perfect background, swallowing up our fears, our secrets, our desires. Everything blends together. Stars are our happy thoughts and aspirations; our dreams that burn so bright they can light up the whole sky. The starless areas are consumed with our negativity, our innermost thoughts that torture a lonely mind. While the sky shows how we truly feel, the silence of the night represents actions. We are consumed in thoughts but keep them hidden away inside, only to escape when the world fades to black where no one can see.

2 am

2 am is for the dreamers
who believe that reality could be better than anything their sleeping mind could conjure
who dare to chase after what they desire most

2 am is for the thinkers
whose thoughts consume them
refusing to sleep as they are caught up in their mind  

2 am is for the lonely
who wish to be with someone that only has eyes for them
being held tight knowing they are wanted

2 am is for the sad
who find more comfort in darkness than the light of the day
when their mood and the shadows seamlessly blend together
to describe their world in perfect form

The All Encompassing Desire

8:23 PM 0 Comments A+ a-

Do you ever want something so much that it physically pains you? It tugs at your heartstrings and consumes your every thought, your head exploding with what could be. The weight of these thoughts crushing your shoulders as you try to keep your head up in a clear place. Your arms sore, hands tired from grasping at this desire which could so easily slip from your palms. The uneasy feeling in your gut, stomach twisted into knots. Your legs ache from thinking about running after your dream. Your soul heavy with what-ifs, yet you still feel like your soaring when you thing about what could be. You want it and you want it bad. But what to do? Use this burning desire within to stay strong and confidently chase your dreams. The pain that surrounds you is motivation for the joy that awaits. Dreams only work if you do.

Quote Me

11:54 AM 0 Comments A+ a-

Do you ever have times where you are just immensely proud of yourself? It is a great feeling. Just thinking about all you have overcome in your past, achieving things that once seemed impossible. Being able to prove people wrong who doubted you and accomplishing goals that once were unattainable, it fills you with a great sense of self-worth and achievement. Think about the events that got you to where you are and the things that motivated you to reach your goals. For me, words motivate me best.  While spoken encouragement means a lot, for me certain quotes really hit home and have pushed me to always keep going. Here are a few standout quotes that have always helped me stay focused and hungry to achieve my goals.

I am too positive to be doubtful, too optimistic to be fearful, and too determined to be defeated.
This quote really speaks to me for many reasons.  I doubt myself a lot. But if I can remember to stay positive suddenly all these doubts vanish. It is amazing how far a little positivity can truly go. Too optimistic to be fearful really helps with the cheerleading aspect of my life.  As I’ve gotten older, and hurt, trying new stunts seems scarier than it ever was when I was younger. I sometimes envision what would happen if a stunt were to go wrong.  But once again, an optimist attitude makes these fears become just a passing thought. If you always remain an optimist, fear cannot come knocking on your door and if it does then you’re ready for a fight. Lastly we have too determined to be defeated. This quote has played a big role in my life. When I screwed up my knee, it was safe to say I felt defeated.  I was pretty down on myself until I remembered this part of the quote. If I remained determined to come back better than ever, there was no way this injury would define me.  Defeated no more, determination and this quote got me through it all. I am planning on getting this part of the quote tattooed on my foot someday as a daily reminder to never give up.

Nothing is impossible; the word itself says “I’m Possible”.
I really do love this quote.  NOTHING is impossible, with the right attitude you can tackle anything. By breaking down the word impossible, this quote does such a great job of proving that. I just love it.

Destiny is for losers, it's just a stupid excuse to wait for things to happen instead of making them happen.
We can thank Blair Waldorf from Gossip Girl for this one. This quote constantly reminds me that if I want something done I need to go out and make it happen. Opportunities are not going to be just handed to me. We create our own destiny. Why wait around for something to maybe happen when we can go out and pursue it ourselves to guarantee that it happens.  Bet you never thought Gossip Girl would provide such deep wisdom, did ya?

And lastly,

All your dreams can come true if you have the courage to pursue them.
Wise words from Walt Disney, a man who knows how to make dreams come true. This quote is similar to the previous one but also stands out for a different reason. Courage can be a hard thing to summon from yourself.  But once you find it within to be courageous and go after what you want you can make amazing things happen. No dream can be too big as long as you have courage to go after it and try to make it come true. 

The power of words is so strong. You never know how what you say, sing, or write could affect another.  Find quotes that can motivate you to become the best you can be. Post them around your room, or somewhere that you will see them every day to constantly remind you to be the best you can be. Dream big and never give up!
