Three Line Tales 239
dreaming of this moment since we first started this journey
and now it’s time to shine and not stress about getting it right just going with the flow and hoping it all works out and they love the story we are telling.
So here we go were in this together and will continue to be together as long as we work hard and trust each other for it’s a hard competition out here in the ballerina world.

two of us.
Together our friendship makes sense and no amount of time can truly make us fall out.
Because when we come back together it’s like we pick up where we left off.
Like blue and red storm floating above us.
We are so different from each other that we have just the right skills to bring out the best in one another.
You are my blue to my red and the yin to my yang.
And when I smile you smile too, there have been moments of happiness and sadness between us.
And moments of anger and forgiveness and we have grown through it all.
Now we are adults and we are living our lives maybe not how we picture it but we are thriving no matter what.
We’ve worked hard and played even harder and where ever life throws us.
We will survive, rather it is with us being as close as we were before or just supporting each other from a distance.
For the love of this bond will go on and maybe one day it will be stronger even more.

Three Line Tales 237
remember when we were young, we would hide in the Dryer as if it wasn’t something dangerous because we wouldn’t think to turn it on?
We would climb right in and hide, we can only fit some way in, and while our legs hang out and surely will give us away.
Now we are taking pictures and putting it up on our Instagram for likes and giggles, hoping to be noticed for something we think is cool and is well stepping it up since childhood fun.

I should smile more and come off a little nicer sometimes.
But why do I need to step out of being myself just to well please you?
I don’t have much going on lately and really just want to relax and enjoy
this nice summer night without the demands of others.
For I have become okay with it just being me.

stuck and I’ve allowed myself to sit here
way too long.
It’s time to get up and stop letting things keep me down too long.
I am not that girl anymore.
I’m so much more.
It’s my time to let that stick and not forget that I’ve gone a long way
to get to this place.
I won’t just let it slip through my fingers like before.
It’s time to stand up and keep walking.
So I can arrive at my final destination.

an long time since I’ve sat at a desk and wrote something by hand.
And the words just don’t flow as they used too.
But it feels good to have a pen in my hands again and to think of the possibility of me writing something good today.
It’s been a long day, but it’s all worth it in the end when I feel the peace and love flow through me.
I know that one day it will happen for me to write something great on paper again.

Feels as if I’m standing still.
But the dragon in me is slowly moving behind me.
Trying to find what is missing from my life.
The search is long and exhausting but I won’t stop looking and either will he.
The sun sets and rises again and again and my hope of that day coming.
Just seems too far away and my patience and heart is wearing thin,.
I don’t know how much more chill it can allow into my life.
Maybe it’s time for me to say some words and hopefully they will be heard.

Things I left unsaid
It’s like your there than your not.
And my heart drops every time.
I want scream but what good would that do
For me or for you?
And so the frustration continues
And I wonder just how bad will it be when I finally just let you have it.

As strong and as proud
As my spirit animal the lion.
I am a leader and a protector
I am a learner and a lover.
I won’t quit or give up when someone tries to challenge me and I know the struggle will be rough.
But I will rise to the challenge and hopefully come out on top.
But if I don’t win I know I learned a lesson and will do better next time.
For being positive is the only way I want to live now.

Three Line Tales, Week 229
Best times together are when we go on hikes or just being out in nature always made us both smile.
We knew that some days we could stay out for hours and talk and walk and just enjoy the nice breeze, but other days it would be too hot to stay out so we would turn around.
But today we got to really relax and we were prepared to walk and eat when we got hungry and we brought so much water. Oh how today will be one of the good days for us.

It that the little bit you give me
Just isn’t enough and when you make me feel.
This way it’s more frustrating than pleasant.
Am I getting too much inside my head that I am missing what my heart is saying?
Will this struggle ever end?
Or will I have to say the words I’ve been trying to hold in this whole time?
Too afraid to share for rejection has been more of a friend to me than being accepted for all of me.
Will you see me as others do?
Or will you be different?

Always the quiet one
Where you had so much confidence and was not afraid to voice your opinion.
But we both have great smiles that light up a room and warm the hearts around us.
We both care
And where you are slow to anger
I am quick like a forest fire and sometimes containing me is near impossible.
But, somehow with just a simple word here and there.
You calm me like still water after a storm.
I could be mad at you but every time it fades away the moment you smile or look my way.
We’re so different but so much alike that some times it’s hard to read between the lines.
When it comes to you and me.
What will we become?
Maybe it’s best to not know for now and let faith and fate guide our way.

For taking so long to realize that this affects me too.
No, I don’t know you but if I stay quiet isn’t it as bad as pretending it didn’t happen.
So much going on outside my box and for so long I have kept to myself.
Why?
Out of fear or maybe nothing more to say for everyone else has already said it.
I don’t know but I feel your pain now as I’m in this state of restlessness and I’m not in a hurry.
To keep working and focusing on the task around me as I watch people come and go.

Far too long to expect things to just fall into place.
But to think it would be this way is just so unbelievable.
Yet, I push forward in the hopes that things will be better as we move in a new way.

The wall fall glows not like before.
And there on a rock, she sits after taking a drip in the water so cool.
She only comes at night for the sight is so beautiful she can’t seem to resistance getting in.
Until one night the glow was so bright that she slipped and fell.
But to her surprise, the wall solved her and lifted her back to her rock.
For her time to go was not yet and waterfall enjoyed her company.
And knew one day her spirit would stay with it and together they will continue to protect the forest.
They both loved!
