Music from

the past sometimes is the best for there may be this sound that you don’t hear today in the things that you like now.

To hear a song that was before my time or a childhood favorite just brings back some great memories and makes me think of how far music has come and that no matter how much time passes by the hits will always be around.

Music isn’t just something that is around it’s life changing and just something that I crave not just for today but always and it just lifts me up another level in my life.

Three Line Tales, Week 196

photo by Never Krcmarek via Unsplash

night started a little sooner than I expected but as daylight saving has arrived the darkness will be coming more sooner than later.

The orange moon shined so brightly as halloween night had came and gone with a storm no one wanted but, it took over and all the kids surely ran away.

With maybe not as much candy in there bags but it was better to be safe that night as the wind picked up and the air turned cripes.

Trees and leaves won’t the only things blow around that night as people were still out and about on a night so unique like this.

think I’d climb back up that cliff and take you on again then you must of thought I’d just let you knock me down and that I wouldn’t get back up.

Well you were wrong and now I’m all dirty and mad and just so ready to get back up to the top so I can give you a piece of my mind and try to hold back the anger inside of me.

But, I can’t guarantee I can hold back from beating your ass for you made the wrong move, you let me see you did this to me.

That place

used to be more than just a place where everyone tags there street art or they love, it was a place where we could all get away and all feel equal for we were all there for the same reasons.

To find ourselves in a world that wants to put us in certain boxes and once your in there is no getting out again.

We wanted to feel free but safe too and to be able to express whatever emotion was feeling heavy on our shoulders at the time, we wanted to be able to lean on each other forever.

me if I ever got lost to look at the map for it will tell me where I am and possible where I need to go. 

I know that I can figure it out as along as I take a moment to calm down because you know I might freak out if I don’t get there when I told you I would.

Because then you will think I can’t do it on my own anymore and I don’t want that freedom taken away from me, for I know I am getting order and soon I won’t be able to do it but today won’t be the end of my independence.

 came but it didn’t destroy anything but it did take away all the doubt I felt that day.

And in its place, it gave me the courage to take a step towards my dreams and to not fall back when I became a little afraid that I would fail.

For the rainbow shining in the sky is a reminder that even though the toughest storms of my life I will come out on the other side better than before.

four of us and the chances to get the ball first is in our favorite but what chance it will be me is always on my mind  when we play this game and try to make the best of the days as the weather slowly changes.

We are ready to shine and do our best to get the ball and win in this game we simply play to have a good time.

For once we are home its all about homework and learning and the fun goes out the window and we always wish for more time and energy to get it done.

Week 190 of Three Line Tales

to what I can expect will be a long way up and just too many steps for me to take after a long day at work.

For all I looked forward to was a good weekend out and away from all the drama that has been surrounding me all week long.

Just a moment to just  relax but, I know if I just walk up those steps the feeling of being free and just knowing I made it  this far will be so rewarding at the end of the day and that nothing can bring me down for they can’t reach me tonight.

Welcome to Week 189 of Three Line Tales.

think I’ll just sit back and watch you behind this box with no regard towards you if this is creepy or annoying.

I don’t want to do much today but watching you seems like fun and I can tell you don’t like it as much as I do but, well you do it to me all the time and I don’t like it either.

But, yet you don’t stop watching my every move as if I’m up to something when we’ll  sometimes I’m not, but other times I maybe about to do something naughty but you still love me either way right?

Moment I admire the horse in front of me as it looks down at me as if it’s telling me it’s going to be okay.

As I get ready to take my first riding lesson, I am nervous and scared at the same time but I know I will enjoy it.

I know I have to be brave and that today will change everything for me and I know it will be a start for something new and exciting.

light up my way and turn my path from black and white to something more colorful and great, I never thought I was worthy of  this path and that I would be able to stand here and enjoy it.

The colors of joy and peace and happiness are all around me in this moment of my life.

I don’t have to worry or doubt my worth anymore when you showed me that I belonged here no matter what other people try to say at the end of the day, for I’m living on this path for them but for you.

Week 183 of Three Line Tales

together has come to an end and we much travel back home and go out separate ways.

These last couple of days together has felt like old times when we were so young and free.

Now there is so much going on in our lives that it’s hard to get away and take the time to see one another and for the moment to last longer than an thirty minute call or a quick text to check up on each other.

of the seasons are coming as the hot days of summer keep going and we all become impatience for it to become fall.

Where people start putting on more layers and enjoy the little cold that come and soon they will be planning out what to wear for halloween. 

And in a blink of an eye you will see that the year has come to an end and things will begin to truly change and you will have to accept it, I know it will be hard but I know that some change is good and worth dealing with I hope.

Step at a time isn’t making this moment any easier than I wish it was right now, so exhausted and ready to just give up and not think about anyone else but myself and those around me now. 

Do I have to be more than I know I am capable of achieving just to please everyone else, the truth is I’m so feed up with them all that at this point I don’t want to deal with anyone.

To forget them all and move on would be more rewarding than sticking around and doing it all for them all the time.

photo by David Peters via UnsplashMe to the show and I hope it will be good as the planes fly high above us lets truly enjoy this time together.
The joy in the air is so Contagious there is no frown Insight nothing but laughter and smiles.
It’s so peaceful and quiet I wasn’t sure what was going on at first until the planes came out and shoot across the sky with the color blue, red following behind them, what a sight it was for me.
