I Carry Your Heart With Me

My favorite poem... EVER.

I Carry Your Heart With Me

ee. cummings

i carry your heart with me(i carry it in

my heart)i am never without it(anywhere

i go you go,my dear; and whatever is done

by only me is your doing,my darling)

i fear

no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want

no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)

and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant

and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows

(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud

and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows

higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)

and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)

Come Away With Me

your face is in the sunset now 

painted orange and gold

the wind is blowing you backwards as my story slowly unfolds

wish me luck my dear because i feel I'm running far

i'll wish you luck my dear to find out who you are

Be Anything but Ordinary

Words to live by.

be anything but ordinary 

My Pink Brick Road

College kids are a bit like these characters, as silly as that may seem.  We are in search to find something else, but each one of us are different. Some may be wanting intelligence, others in search for love, almost all of us missing home, and everybody striving for courage! 

Why does moving on make people so crazy? College, i think is a part of the pursuit to find oneself. I walk around campus and stare into the faces of unsettled souls. Everyone is in search of finding someone or something else (a thing greater than themselves). I too am a victim of this feeling, which brings discontent. I guess wanting something more isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it sure does make you re-evaluate why you're doing what you're doing. 

If you leave college the same person as you were when you started... something went wrong in the journey to find YOU. Flora Whittemore once said, "The doors we open and close each day decide the life we live." All of us are feeling out the right path to take, and hoping that the door we're knocking on, will bring us contentment. No one can ever guess what's behind that door, or even if it's the right door to be at, but cheese n' rice can't we TRY?! Nobody ever said that finding our way in this world is easy. If it were easy, there wouldn't be that great feeling of accomplishment at the end. After all, not everyone has a yellow brick road guiding them, but that also doesn't mean we can't lay the bricks ourselves! (i personally would have chose pink... but that's just me) 

Goodnight to all you scarecrows, tin men, dorothys, and lions. I hope you find what you're looking for.

Homeward Bound

There is a sense of security in knowing that you can always go home. After all, home is the only place that will always be ready and waiting for you. I'd have to say the best part about going home, is not necessarily the house, but the ones who are inside it! What makes a house a home... are the people waiting for you. The arms you fall into with a warm embrace, after time has kept you too long. That is when you truly feel home at heart. 

I'm up late tonight because I'm excited! Tomorrow my little red car will guide me to the place i call my own, the only place that is filled with people i love and adore with all my heart. Homeward bound i am, (Why?) because i hear it calling for me. Home sweet home, send me on my way! 

Goodnight, don't let the bed bugs bite...

P.S. Can't wait to see you mom.

1st Time Everything

If you're wondering... Yes, i survived my first day of college! (yay me) I must confess, it was different than what i thought it would be. Aside from searching an hour for parking, getting completely lost(in result =having to walk 5 miles in over 100 degree heat),  and not having all my books, I THINK it went really well! =] My classes seem very interesting, much better than high school. Surprisingly, i have the urge to want to learn about this stuff! I hated high school so much, i lost that feeling to want to learn, but it's refreshing to have it back. I loved the library, although that may sound funny. The smell of all those books, every student in there studying/reading/learning about something...i dunno, but it definitely got me in the mood to obtain higher education! 

Although i have no friends yet, and walk around by myself.(yea, bring out the violins haha) I've gotten used to the feeling of being alone. I find peace within my own company these days, and i guess that could be a really good thing? I know in the midst of that place I'm bound to find somewhere i fit in, but as for now, I'll just hit the books!

P.S. Thanks to the random guy who was nice enough to open the door for me.
