Inspirational Trash


I saw a man sitting on a couch
It made me think
I need a rest
I saw a couch sitting by a trash
It made me think
I need to clean
I saw a trash sitting by a house
It made me think
I am done playing cat and mouse
This man I saw sitting on a couch
Made me believe
What I am doing is right
What I have done is great
This couch I saw sitting by the trash
Made me realize
I may never be clean
I have made too many mistakes
This trash I saw sitting by a house
Made me forget
All the pain I’ve seen
All the times I never pulled through
So, as I sit on this couch
And think to myself
We all are tired
We all need to lay our heads down
Once in awhile
As I open the lid to the trash
I throw away all my regrets
I toss away all this old skin
Then looked up at the house
And turn to the mouse
Get up to leave
Smile at the stranger
By my side
Give him a kiss
And said, goodbye.

Let them Lift Your Wings, While you Dare to Dream



Togetherness is the Key to being Alone




I stepped off the plane to a place that was COLD! Not believing my skin could feel this way as my heart raced with the moments to come. Seeing all the family was home away from home, and seeing my Dad's boat was a familiar feeling of knowing that was his home away from home. I forgot that the awkwardness I felt being in the states was a simliar feeling to someone who has been out at sea, traveling the world. However, some things never change, as always my Dad and I share a love for music and jumped at the opportunity on the Santa Cruz pier to practice our Counting Crows lyrics into an empty microphone. :-) These are the moments you capture and hold close to your heart, because to have a Dad, as well as a friend is nothing to just take for granted, but to openly embrace with all my heart.

Resolve To Make A Change, but Don't Forget Who You Became






And We Danced Anyway...




Days Go By...And We Are All Getting Older, But that is OK




Just For Who You Are...







I have missed people, I have made best friends over a second, made my life what it was, missed the life that is, but all the same came back to the same thing....what makes me happy...And no matter where I am and no matter who I think I can be, the most important part of knowing myself, is knowing when I am happy...

Cross Worlds





You make these friends. and you do not know why, why they know you like they do, because most people are trying to escape. Escape from a past, a potential future, a regretful present...all the same they see you and at some point it doesn't matter, because what if you are the girl that wasn't trying to escape from anything. What if you were just trying to be...

Life in Paradise


If I were to picture my life, in full speed, I would take a second or two to figure out what it all means...




As the waves rolled out, I tip-toed in and when the waves rolled in, I ran out. I remembered the time when that was all I needed, I remembered the time, when that was all I had. But then I forgot all that was to be, because I remembered to run was to be free.
