Quote of the day


Sometimes the past has to come again!

now I just want to be myself and
embrace my style even though it’s different.
I feel good and I know there is nothing that can stop me for being happy with being me.
The day is a little cloudy outside but not even the gray skies can bring my mood down.
Sometimes the sun won’t be out to brighten my day and so I must bring my own light out to shine through the clouds.
Today looks like a great day to just be me and I know even if I don’t get to do all that I want to do the little moments I do just get to smile and have a good time will be just what I need.

we got look back on the past and appreciate some of the things we had or still have and not just throw them away because their time has come.
But, to look back and say it’s be incredible to be able to see those things because now some moments are harder to recreate when you know those objects are not around anymore.
To the things that were once great and now just memories that will live on with us and others we hope.

So much hatred in this room right now
I want there to be peace but I think there is too much bad blood for it to improve.
I know the situation could be better but what am I to do I’ve tried to help them both but now.
It feels too late to do anything and I know things will work itself out but will it be for the best.
I just wish they would both open their eyes and see their both wrong in a way.

Like I want it all
and yet all I’m grasping at is air.
There seem to be no answers to my questions.
And no matter what I do I feel like I’m running out of solutions.
I’m continually running out of stuff and the truth is there is no help being thrown my way.
I feel used and left to swim or sink and right now I’m sinking.
I seem fine and tired on the outside but I’m truly drained on the inside and faking the little bit of joy to keep me going.
It’s like I’m the cat foolishly following you around because you have a fake mouse a stick.
Will, I ever give up or will I continue to let you lead me the wrong way.

pushing so much it feels like I’m about to break and I know you don’t care for it seems like nothing is ever going to please you.
You want everything to get done but there is only so much a person can do and now the fun feels more like resentment.
And the days are long and now there is not a moment in the day that I’m really enjoying myself because I just want to escape and get away.
The count down to finding a way out of this maze is on for I am ready to live with the treasure I deserve than the one I thought I wanted but don’t really need it.
But there are no words other than good bye and I won’t be coming back that are going to come out my mouth and for that I know the path will change for me and to where I don’t know.

tears come down for I know that letting it out does make things better.
Even if it’s just a temporary solution for you today.
I know that the time to let go and be lost in the moment has come for me.
I know that the tears only express half of how I feel right now but it’s just too much to let it all out at once right now.
So for now you will see me vulnerable but, when I have truly fallen apart you will not be lucky enough to see that moment or place.

want to hide anymore and I just want to let the tears fall.
For letting it all out is better than keeping it all inside.
So over being tough and yet still feeling so weak because there is so much I can’t change.
The time to figure everything out has come and yet all I feel is I need a break and I don’t want to work towards finishing what I’ve started because that’s what I always do.
Why would this time be any different then the times before.
I’m no better than that girl that I used to be and there doubt is to show it’s ugly face when things are going so good.
And the truth is I just want to let doubt win for who is to say I will make it even if I beat doubt this time.
It might hold more power on the next round I know it will come again and I just don’t know if I willing to fight it again.

the risk but I took the leap anyways for there wasn’t much to look back on
I know that nothing good will come if I stay on this side of the cliff today or tomorrow.
It’s time to move on and leave behind the baggage I never wanted to hold on too anyways and anymore.
I’m tired of playing it safe and I know now that I need to take this risk even if it is my last because I don’t want to keep living the same way.
I want to feel my heart beating so fast and to hold my breath just in hopes that I will make it and if I do I will be so grateful.
But, if I don’t make it at least I know that I tried my hardest in the end to make the change that needed to be done now rather than later.
I’m tired of being too late and for once I want to be on time with my decisions and to make the cut in the end for I want the best results this time around.
