Up to someone else
Is always a great feeling.
When they open up to you too
The feeling of reading their words over and over again.
And finding out it still brings a smile to your face.
And it makes the risk of opening up and being vulnerable worth it in the end.

Week 219 of Three Line Tales
So I went for a much needed drive to clear my mind and in hope that would help me go back to sleep.
For it’s been a while since I’ve had a good night sleep and not been interrupted with the need to pee.
Or just waking up for no reason and then it takes hours to really fall back into a quite light sleep that doesn’t help me at all and so I’m up and the day is a drag with no hope insight.

Week 218 of Three Line Tale
moment I want to focus on what is in front of me and I realize that staring at the screen on my computer isn’t going to make things move quicker.
I know that the day is coming to an end and even though I have done so much it feels like I have so much more to do before I can be done for the day.
I know that this day was long and right now I am tired and ready to move on from the stress of not know what to expect next.

the broken pieces inside of us because the art that we see all around and even when you see the pain that someone has released doesn’t mean you know everything about that person.
For the eye may not see everything but it may notice a lot when it is observing its surrounding for the first time but hopefully not the last.
So much to be seen and so much to remember as you take picture after picture with no desire to stop for you are enjoying these type of photo’s.

Start looking for you for you are meant to find me.
I won’t start making a list about you for you are to come to me as you are and all that you are will be enough.
I will be full of words that will express how you make me feel but I won’t come on too strong.
I know once we are one it will be hard and impossible to break us apart.
For if we are meant to be it will last and through every storm and celebration we will grow and learn.
For I won’t stop hoping you will come to me soon and shake up my very quite life again.

To fold to every demand you try to make.
Or will you realize I’m not that same girl.
Things have changed and you may not be okay with that.
But I am because I’m taking back my life and my words and my confidence.
I am tired of second guessing things and hesitating about other things.
I may have been a little over the top but I didn’t make you feel like an outsider looking in on well a life that truly wasn’t never mine.
I found my voice once I let you go and now I barely think of you.
I think you pop up I my mind as a reminder I am and always will be stronger and better off without you!

Of wising it was hot instead of cold outside right now.
Yes I have enjoy the hot drinks and the hot food and just enjoying the sweat pants but it’s time for less layers.
The urge to be inside all the time and now worry about what everyone is saying about staying in.
You know you can be out with a smile on your face and enjoy the air around you.
For you don’t have to be so wrapped up some my not know where all the layers of you end at the end of the day.

Could have three wishes would I make good ones or would I waste them all.
I know that I need at least one wish and would use the other two for Someone else and maybe they would appreciate it and think twice about their wishes.
I just know right now it’s fun to think what you would do with three wishes but in the end I feel like it will most likely not end well.

Go stepping back into this place that just can’t seem to get it together.
But even though the storm we got stuff done and even though it built back up it was ready for a fresh start.
So lets hope that they work hard and focus on the right things.
As my time with them is limited as I step back out those doors and not have to worry about the carrying around that stress anymore.
I feel like everyday is quiet and still busy but not as overwhelmed and it doesn’t feel like I’m at the zoo or circus.
I’m not doing extra stuff or going through so many hoops to impress someone.
I can breathe and take breaks without the stress of falling behind.
I can enjoy the little things and I can smile and look forward to things and each day.

moment I feel like I’m fading away from what used to be my past.
As I look into what could be my future right now I’m enlightened and ready.
The peace is welcoming and I am in place where fading away from a place that never felt was right for me is okay.
I’m looking forward to being one of the good ones that will remembered once I’m gone.
But for now I will fade in and of their minds.

This break to just stop and look at the view
For I’ve been so busy not looking around and just looking in the direction I needed to go.
I know I have to keep focus but I don’t want to miss out on anything in my life as right now in the present so much is happening,
I won’t give up and I will do more for myself because it’s me who will struggle if I do too much or too little in this opportunity I have for now.

as if I might just burst into a million pieces.
As I somehow have nowhere safe to say what needs to be said.
The words are in my head but no matter how hard I try they won’t come out.
And if they could you wouldn’t want to hear them anyways and so I guess I’ll just keep bottling it up until I have no more room to store it all.
For these are the days of my life and maybe that’s why things feel not so bright lately.
The dullness of my life is all around no matter what corner of my life I go to nothing is lighting up the way it used too.

in life, you don’t know if your right side up or upside down.
And when you try to find some balance in your life.
Something somehow shifts before your eye and throws you for a curve and before you can get back up they knock you right back down.
And nothing you say or do is working out for you at this point because they chose to knock you down instead of helping you up at the end of your struggle.
You have done so much and right when you choose to move on and do better for yourself they throw you under the bus and expect you to smile and still help out with no worries in sight.
You feel that the pull is becoming too much and you know there is no way you will along this to go on and so you stand your guard and fight the good fight.
Until just come out with what they are planning to do which we all know doesn’t sound like someone who has your back at this point.

Like someone is trying to throw me off as the year comes to an end.
The anger that is boiling inside of me is out of control and I don’t know how to tame it in.
Just the thought of how they are trying to play me is unfair and unfortunately a struggle for them.
I’m not sorry at this point and I will continue on with my head held up high.
I won’t allow this sneaky move to shake me up for good.
My lord won’t allow me too and so I will pray for those who do me wrong and keep doing what is best for me.

cold and snowy night I walk alone on my way home in hoping to find it warm enough.
It’s been a long day and I’m so ready to experience so much more right now as I get through the bad weather and enjoy the holidays.
I know the count down to Christmas is getting so close to the end, just one more week of work and two days and we will be all Christmas out.
