Changing Perspectives


What if, at the end of the day, we focus on what's holding us together, 
rather than what's tearing us apart?


Do you ever feel like you're just barely holding on? 
...like life couldn't possible get any worse? 

Do you feel like you're running in circles in your relationship and you don't know why?
...like you're constantly fighting about the same things, and nothing ever gets better?


What would happen if you decided to just take a step back for a second and remember?
Really look into her eyes and see the beauty that is your girl. 

Remember why you fell for her in the first place. 
Remember the laugh that only happens when you're around. 
Remember the late night talks spent getting to know one another all those years ago. 
Remember all those little things about her.


And then learn how to love again.

Hold her hand.
Laugh with her.
Hold her softly.
Calm all of her fears..gently. 
Make her know that she is the only girl in your whole world. 
Treat her like you did at the beginning of the relationship.
Tell her that you love her, and mean it. 
Look into her eyes often.
Tell her she's beautiful.
Want her.


...and at the end of the day, remember all that.

An Open Letter To My Mentor

Dear Dennis, You.  You are the reason I'm still standing tall and making it through high school. Without you, I wouldn't be on the path I am on right now. You embraced me and took me under your wing freshman year, and our relationship quickly grew from there. Whether it was seeking answers to my multitude of questions in any of my English classes over the years, to seeking advice when it came to everything else, you never backed down and always managed to see me through to the other side.  Your room became a safe haven for me. A place where I could go and complain about my school work until I sucked it up and got it done. A place where we both exchanged many laughs and tears. A place where sometimes the only thing filling the air was silence.  You're so taken for granted by everyone. The way you intertwine your passion for literature and love of teaching is something amazing, and something I hope to have one day. You put your all into what you do fo...

Lessons Learned

18 years. 216 months. 936 weeks. 6750 days. 157680 hours. 9460800 minutes. 567648000 seconds. Life has a funny way of getting away from you really quickly. One minute you're 5 running around a farm chasing barn cats and feeding the goats, and the next minute you're crying over boys and getting ready to pack up everything and move away to college. But the thing I've come to realize is that life didn't change, you  changed. You might fall down, but you need to learn how to stand back up, brush it off, and never let the same thing knock you over twice. 1. People are temporary; So are feelings. It's a part of life. One of the hardest things I've had to learn how to deal with is how to say goodbye to people I didn't want to let go of, and hello to people I was skeptical about letting in. I didn't want to say goodbye because I was happy and content, and even if I wasn't all the time, it's still what I was used to, a...

To The Girl Who Loves Too Hard

I'm sorry. You had to learn from an early age what a broken heart feels like and what that exactly meant. And because you love just a little harder than everyone else, you felt the world stop spinning when you got your heart broken. You have so much love to give and you dive into relationships heart first. You are entirely committed from the start and are fiercely loyal. You give up so much, just to see the other person smile. But the secret is, you don't love too hard. You expect the same love that you give. And maybe the world is just too sad of a place to give out that kind of love, and you're just a blessing that somehow slipped through the cracks of heaven. You go through life giving so much, you quickly burn yourself out when you don't receive any of it back. And then you wonder if maybe you're just too hard to love. You wonder if you aren't meant to be with anyone. You wonder if no one out there can always make you feel the way you ...
