Poetry and short stories with a few daily quotes here and there!
that haunts me from my past
and no matter how far I go.
Every Halloween you come out and shake up my life again
like a nightmare that replays over and over every night.
I’m ready for you to go away as I count down the minutes and hours until this day is over and I am free again.

I need a fluffy blanket as the weather starts to change and it becomes cold
Something to keep me warm when the cold air blows my way.
Fluffy pillows help me sleep so much better at night
Fluffy coats keep me warm on the cold mornings and even colder nights.
Fluffy coats and fluffy scarves keep me warm around my face and head when it colder day by day.

So much to be thankful for that sometimes it’s hard to say the words that need to be said.
For so many emotions sometimes just become overwhelming and I just need to take sometime to process it all before I can just let it out.
But, when I am so thankful for someone I let them know and I try not to wait so long for life is short and missed opportunities sometimes eat you up inside when the one you want to say the words to are not around anymore and there is no amount of wishing to bring them back.
Be thankful for every moment you get with the ones you love and be thankful that you get the chance to survive to see another day even if that day wasn’t that great.
For one day everything will just click and you will wonder how lucky you got to live the life you are living now.

I prefer a quiet day of reading or watching a good movie and staying inside.
I prefer to just relax and not move much after all week at work
I prefer to not really be bothered seeing people for two days after seeing them all week and most of them were nice and with a couple of bad seeds here and there.
I prefer to be around lots of people when I’m dying to see someone perform live and I just lucked out on the tickets.
I prefer to be me and let some people in for it would be selfish to keep myself all to myself.
I prefer to be quiet sometimes and just watch the things in life on the sideline
I prefer the truth over lies even if it hurts me
I prefer to believe in God and live my life with him as my savior and try not to judge those that don’t for we all have to decide the way we want to live.
I prefer to be hopeful and positive for being negative really doesn’t get you anywhere fast.
I prefer to be a little awkward and weird just because being normal is just way to boring.
I prefer lots of things in life but if I keep listing them I think you would be here all day and would probably at some point prefer to stop reading and go to sleep.

to me!
A day I am grateful for because it means I made it another year on this earth and that I have been blessed to see another day and moment.
Today is my day as well as whoever else is celebrating this day with their family and friends.
I’m glad to be able to just relax and appreciate this day for what it is for and who let me get this far in life.
My God, my protector and savior I truly appreciate everything he has done for me and even when life just doesn’t seem fair or the struggle is tough, I realize nothing I can go through he hasn’t gone through and in the end everything always works out.
I am me because of him and I don’t regret the things I’ve done to get to the space I am at right now.
All I can do now is keep growing into a better person and keep being kind to those that may not have as much hope in life or just can’t seem to find a break.
Better days are to come and I’m ready to take them on.

As Halloween is soon approaching
little ones run around in customers
as different place do trick or treating events before the big day.
It’s not a surprise to see lots of people wearing orange and black
with random spiders on their face.
It doesn’t seem to matter how old you get the little kid inside of you that loves Halloween just wants to come out and play.
And possibly eat some candy too.
Orange pumpkins line up two by two on almost every door step and kids carve them with their parents in hope to light them and scary them on the big night.
Some pumpkins are just silly looking and you can’t seem to stop smiling when you see the child tell you all about what they did to create such a silly little pumpkin.
So pumpkins are more for decoration with many silly faces just to be called an art piece and something that took time to put some nice details into.
