Me, one year ago.
Weird.


New baby tomorrow.
Even weirder.


"I wish you were here. But you’re not, you’re there. And there doesn’t know how lucky it is."

"If you don’t go after what you want, you’ll never get it. If you don’t ask, the answer is always no. If you don’t step forward, you’re always in the same place."

Barack.

Today I say to you that the challenges we face are real. They are serious and they are many. They will not be met easily or in a short span of time. But know this, America — they will be met. To those who cling to power through corruption and deceit and the silencing of dissent, know that you are on the wrong side of history; but that we will extend a hand if you are willing to unclench your fist. To the people of poor nations, we pledge to work alongside you to make your farms flourish and let clean waters flow; to nourish starved bodies and feed hungry minds. And to those nations like ours that enjoy relative plenty, we say we can no longer afford indifference to the suffering outside our borders; nor can we consume the world’s resources without regard to effect.

Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. We are the change that we seek, for the world has changed, and we must change with it.
-Barack Obama, our president.

Mine.

Things that made my day, even though I was a little grouch.
1. BARACK OBAMA IS OUR PRESIDENT! Offically, wonderfully, happily, I'm ecstatic. It's one of the best things that will ever, EVER happen in my lifetime. We (Americans) made history today. Barack Obama made history today. He is our president, give him a chance.
2. Seeing my boy. Always makes my day.
3. Cassidi Marie and everything she does. the fact that she loves me makes me happy. We have a new notebook, and her leaving me a comment & the fact that her verification was Brack made me smile. I love that girl with my entire heart.
4. Stephanie. I've missed her a lot.
5. What Blake left Shay. It was the sweetest thing ever. Made me all giddy inside. What they have is amazing, and I hope to have what they have, because I know it's forever.
Sorry I was a grouch guys.

Let's pretend we're artists and everything we feel is something new to be proud of. Let's take our imaginary friends on a double date and ditch them in a movie and hope they get along while we kiss outside on the sidewalk. Let's take the dreams you mumbled in your sleep and paint a child's nursery. And if we don't finish today, we've always got tomorrow.

Do you?

You can love all you can. You can do what you can. You can care all you can. But, in the end, who you end up hurting isn't something you can choose. You can't save everyone, someone is going to get hurt, no matter how much you don't want them to. But, you can't think of everyone else all of the time. Sometimes, you just have to think about what's best for you, how you can make your life better. And, if you save someone else from hurting, well, you've done the best you can do.


Dear Angela,

I know in the past I’ve caused you pain, and I’m sorry. And I’ll always be sorry til the day I die. And I hate this pen I’m holding, because I should be holding you. I hate this paper under my hand because it isn’t even you. I even hate this letter because it’s not the whole truth. Because the whole truth is so much more than a letter can even say. If you wanna hate me, go ahead. If you wanna burn this letter, do it. You could burn the whole world down. You could tell me to go to hell. I’d go. If you wanted me to. And I’d send you a letter from there.

Sincerely, Jordan Catalano

-My So Called Life


You love somebody and then you don’t love them anymore. But if you really love somebody, you always love them, don’t you? Isn’t there always some small part of you that reads their horoscope in the paper everyday?


You may not know it yet, maybe you’ll never even think about it, but I’m special. You’re going to meet a lot of girls throughout your life, and a lot of them will be special to you. But I’m telling you right now, you’ll never find another me.

This is me.

This winter break has become the best yet. I can't explain it, from how I felt before, and how I feel now, are two completely different worlds. I've just written a new chapter to my life. It's about the best thing ever.
I really plan on keeping the people I have in my life with me for a great while. I've gotten closer with people I never would have imagined. They're good people. The best, and for some reason, something out there chose for them to be in my life. I can't begin to explain how special I am.
I would like to thank everyone who has been there this last year, new and old, you guys were the best, and I wish you could see the gratitude I owe you. Thank you.
Alright, I'll be done now. I need to come up with something else to post tomorrow. :]


"Have you ever had a moment when you’re with the one person in the world you want to be with and the wind is blowing through your hair and the song that just describes your entire soul happens to come on and then the person you happen to want to be with happens to love the same song and suddenly you realize you’re listening to it together and no matter how crazy your life has gotten, there’s this one moment, this perfect moment where you could just say that no matter what happens nothing can take this moment away from me… and then something does."
"I want his fingers to always find the spaces in between mine."
