I once started a blog, a blog which talked about new beginnings and fresh starts. Love found it's way into the view as the focus. It became clear to me that heartbreak wasn't something expected, but it showed it's ugly face and tainted the pages for a season. The blog was renamed "keep the car running" a song from the famous Grammy winner band The Arcade Fire. For a long time I've been running. Moving from city to city, in hopes of finding a new home - a new life. A lot has happened over this time. Words spoke from my heart, experiences were penned onto a canvas. It's been a growing time for me. In tribute to this time, Ive posted the song that said it all. "Keep the car running" in reality, I was scared of what it might mean to stop the car and settle down.

Now after a year of wandering. I may still be stuck in between two cities, but I have found a home. I can stop the car, for a season, I am happy with myself. Happy with the future ahead of me, okay with the possibilities, and living in the moments view. Although Learning to love life again has come with a cost, this cost has been worth the price.

Enjoy the posts from here on out they will be new and from a different angle.

Pieces of me

Pieces of me In Highschool I used to fantasize all the time That by this age, I'd be this far. That I would have accomplished everything I wanted  A beautiful relationship With a beautiful family  The way I was raised  I was instilled with this simplistic Hope & Ideal That with the fire of my heart's desires  I can and would accomplish anything That Life and Love are intertwined  You accomplish one then you'll have the other Call this boy-ish fantasy what you will But the truth is? I was too prideful to attain those boy-ish fantasies  Too Prideful to love myself the way I needed to be loved And in return be able to give myself to someone.  God was I prideful.  I don't really know what it was But I was obsessed with Love Yet had no clue how to get it To find it, and to function with it.  I never had a hard time attracting someone But what I did isn't something you can call dating  I'd never had a functional relationship Up until I was...

From the Daylight

  Oh how i love it and i hate it at the same time Running from the distance Selling myself for less May I spare the mercy from the mercy deep within? Please don't leave me in the end There's a light from within Yet I resist it's influence I hate the idea that I can feel again From the daylight, Oh, how I'm running from the daylight. Somehow you know at the same time That you and I are running from the same light Subconsciously aware of  Knowing it's all there. Yet somehow running away from  What we both can share. Our pride is holding us hostage. From the way we're been living The constant lies we live in All keeping us from the daylight we deserve. We draw poison from the same vine Running from the daylight Lovin' the thoughts of how it could be. From on my knee's  Though standing at the same time. Help me stand in the presence of  The Light we share, and that thought of being happy again.  How dare I dream of such an idea! We drew poison from the same ...

From the start of it all.

I want you to know: There was a time,  A time when when words I wrote, made up for feelings I lacked. There was a time when, convenience was the answer, the easy answer. I followed the easier road, because that honestly was the road  I thought I had to choose. There was a time when, I was stuck.  Stuck in the mundane practices I had thought my world to be. I hadn’t a clue… Until I met you.  Honey, I’ve never stopped writing. With you I’ve done something I’ve never done before.. 5/4  I am blessed. You are my Prince without a doubt. You are my rock. 😊 You are my constant that I love. You truly are my everything I have been looking for. You are my man. You are my handsome man. 😉 You are the best thing I could have ever asked for. I truly thank the Lord everyday for sending you to me. You will make me want to always better myself. I will do anything to always support you and to make you happy. I love you so much...
