Missing the Memories that Haven't been Made

I have met some of the most amazing people this year in Lexington. One in particular I know will be a life long friend, shout out to my girl B. And the many others I've met, especially my other roomies have great potential for being people I will never lose touch with. But do you ever get the feeling that there is more? I just know there are people out there that I haven't met yet that will become a huge part of my life. I am beyond ready to meet them and make memories that will be engraved on my heart forever. Really feelin this whole New Years just around the corner. Here's to a new beginning!

What's Your Background Noise?

Stumbled upon a question to ask myself, which led to a possibly scary revelation. I'll try to make it short and sweet..

-Had to write a paper on the media and the ten human motivations for it and how they applied to our lives.

-Of course music was mentioned many times in mine..

-Three sections caught my eye.. I estimated that 42 hours of my week was filled with music for "entertainment"

-That same 42 hours could be used for "escape".. because, well.. music is my escape

-It then mentioned having background noises, just to fill space.. which.. I ALWAYS have music playing.

*But I thought, no I need music, its not just a background noise..

I stopped.. Am I living in a constant escape?

Yes I love Music. But as I have even written in one of my own songs "silence is golden."

I should turn the music off even just for an hour, have time with God and FACE the world with Him.. not Music.

slightly painful to say, but oh so true.

"The Inevitable." Starring, The Heart.

Researchers have described falling in love as a way to self-expand. Some think they have it all figured out, even putting steps to the process of falling in love. Can we really take what one person says abut love as the answer? The question in itself should give the answer away. Of course not. When it comes to love there is no one answer, because there is no one question.

The past week or so, there has been one question in particular that has stood out. How long do you wait? You really like a certain someone, told them how you felt, but they don't want to be in a relationship right now. A friend of mine says she talked to her boyfriend about it and he said 3 to 4 months, because guys take a while to open up and feel comfortable. Others say to move on immediately. I've come to think the answer lies within yourself. You decide whether that someone is worth all the time in the world or not. But in reality, that makes it all the more difficult.

Love has become such a common word that I hate to even write about it. But unfortunately, the heart is inevitable. There is no getting around the fact that some point in our lives we try to continue walking and our heart tells us, "No." I'm just trying to learn at what point should you no longer listen to the very organ that pumps life into your veins and say, "Yes, I can't stay here any longer."

So close I can taste it.. tastes like Strawberry ;]

Does the road of life have corners? Cause I'm pretty sure somethin is just around the corner for me. "Just around the river bend!" tehe. But in all seriousness, I have been writin songs like crazy.. and they're not too shabby. I'm just ready to meet my Destiny. I think we'd be pretty good pals =] In the mean time? "Oh yeah thats right I'm doin me" Church, work, babysittin, and makin memories I will never forget this summer. PLUS, checked my UK account today.. sophomore year COMPLETELY paid for, I'll have money for the Macbook I want AND plenty more where that came from. God is fantastic!

Because Twitter is Stingy with Words..

I refused to use Twitter for a very long time. Just recently I decided to give it a try. I don't feel like I "Tweet" as much as I should, maybe that's because I'm not a bird and find it weird.. however, there have been a couple times where I've been supa excited about somethin, but had to condense it because you can only use 140 characters. How in the world do you fit awesome stuff into 140 characters!? And so, I decided to further my Tweetness adventure with creating a blogspot.. Now I can go into full detail and/or just rant on whatever the heck I feel the need to. Welp, I'll be sure to try and keep you updated.. on what I'm not sure, but I will. Be blessed -Ern
