A song from your favorite band: "Promise of a Lifetime" by Kutless

The Pains of Starting Over

You've lived your life so many years
Laughed, cried, won and lost
Sometimes life was amazing
And other times it just beat you down
No matter what life threw at you,
You always made it out stronger.

So what do you do when you find,
That all the hard work you've put into it,
Just wasn't the way to do things at all?
When you find out that you life,
May not be turning out the way you wanted
Even though all those years ago,
It was perfect...

How do you rewrite your life;
Break it down into tiny moments,
And try to see what happened a long the line,
To make it so hard?
How do you start over
When you've worked all your life
To reach this moment?

Will it be easy,
Or will it just be another opportunity
For life to beat you down?
Will all the friends you've made
Still be with you when you decide,
"Maybe it's time for something new...something better"?

Starting over isn't easy,
No one said it would be,
But then again, no one ever warned that it would be difficult
You don't have to rewrite you entire life,
Just look back on past experiences,
Reflect on your actions,
And learn from them.

Our past isn't there to haunt us
For things that we did,
It is there for us to grow, learn,
And eventually say,
"Wow, I've lived an amazing life"

Starting over is painful, but starting over for yourself and no one else, is worth it in the end.

Day 10

A song that makes you fall asleep: A song that makes me fall asleep is "A La Nanita" by the Cheetah Girls

Growing Up With Two AMAZING Best Friends

We all met in the 6th Grade and became friends. 7th grade came along and we became best friends. 8th grade rolled around and people were telling us that we wouldn't be friends in high school because "that's just what happens".

8th Grade:

 
Well we made it past 8th grade and high school came along. We stayed best friends and you guys were there for one of the worst times in my life our freshman year. We cried together because we felt each others' pain. We had fun with each other our first year in high school.

Freshman Year:

  We finished our freshman year and went on through high school. We each got our own groups but no matter what people said, we stayed best friends. We didn't hang out as much because the hustle and bustle of school kept us all busy but no matter what we always talked and told each other everything. We are the kind of friends who do dumb stuff together, laugh at each other when we fall and have each other backs even if one of us was missing because of the differences in our schedules in life.

High School:

 

And now we are graduating and growing into young women. We have proved all those people who said we wouldn't be friends wrong. Not only are we friends, but we stayed BEST FRIENDS. I love you girls with all my heart. I can't believe we have made it as friends for SEVEN YEARS! I've gained amazing friends along with two sisters!

Graduating:

 And here we are after all these years, still making each other laugh and still being amazing together.We have each had our moments of triumph and defeat. We are there for each other no matter what. We will be friends forever and always!

"Friends will come and go, will walk in and out of your life..But...only TRUE friends will leave their footprints on your heart"

Day 09

A song that you can dance to: I would have to say "Boys Boys Boys" by Lady Gaga :D

Some times I wish things could just go back to the way they were when everything was okay with my life.

you know....back when all you would see on my face was this:

and it was REAL and GENUINE all the time...

Day 08

A song that you know all the words to: I know all the words to "Today My Life Begins" by Bruno Mars

Prom Night Bust.....

So last night was my senior prom. I was really excited to go this year because that's all I wanted to really do this year. However, unlike all of my friends...I didn't go. I went to Angela's house instead and we had a sleepover, but it wasn't the same. Sure, I had fun with her because we always have fun together but now today I get to see every one else's pictures of prom and get constantly reminded that I will never have that memory. Super sad and depressed that I couldn't go and I wish I could have. Man, this is making me wanna cry. My life pretty much sucks this year. Go class of 2011....I guess </3 :'(
