"your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. don't be trapped by dogma- which is living with the results of other people's thinking. don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. and most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. they somehow already know what you truly want to become. everything else is secondary." -steve jobs

"if ever there is tomorrow when we're not together.. there is something you must always remember. you are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. but the most important thing is, even if we're apart.. i'll always be with you." - winnie the pooh

"im sorry to say so but, sadly its true that bang-ups and hang-ups can happen to you." -dr. seuss

gotta find your inner strength.

if you cant then just throw life away.
gotta learn to rely on you.
beauty, strength, and wisdom too.
you're beautiful inside and out, lead a great life without a doubt.
don't need a man to make things fair, cause more than likely he won't be there.
listen girl, gotta know it's true. in the end all you've got is
you.

dear santa,

yes, i know i know. everyone is talking about their christmas lists this year.

but hey :) i thought i would put up what i want as well.

these jeans.

this bag.


this camera.

these seasons.

also, i have decided i would start putting at the bottom of every post a song of the day. so here is todays:

breakeven- the script

seriously, what would the world do without pictures?! ahh i can look at pictures all day if i want to. i cant wait until i get my camera and can start my own photography adventures.

also, for the past couple of days i have been more obsessed with the eighties than normal.

"i've made mistakes in my life. i've let people take advantage of me, and i've accepted way less than i deserve. but, i've learned from my bad choices and even though there are some things i can never get back and people who will never be sorry, i'll know better next time and i won't settle for anything less than i deserve."

im in the process of finally realizing that you have got to find your own inner happiness, and you really cant care what anyone thinks. they will either like you or they wont like you. i have always thought that i think like this for forever now but i realized a couple of days ago that i havent.

it's that same story you hear over and over again from a million different girls: you go out with a guy and then he doesnt call or contact you in any way. so there i was stressing and stressing when i realized "wow, its his loss!"

anyways, just thought i would share that :)

this picture has nothing to do with what i was talking about. but its crazy cool.

and, it still hurts.

take me here please.

oh, the things i am thankful for....

my mom and dad.

friendships.

the world, and all the many things in it.

music.

photography.

a good book to curl up to.

eating a delicious meal with the fam. (highlight of the night: my grandmas candied yams.)

life's a game but it's not fair

i break the rules so i don't care

so i keep doin' my own thing

walkin' tall against the rain

i've been addicted to flickr.

i love looking at all of the photos on this website. some of the photographers on here are amazing.

pick up all your tears
throw em in your backseat
leave without a second glance
somehow i'm to blame
for this never-ending racetrack you call life

turn right
into my arms
turn right
you won't be alone
you might
fall off this track sometimes
hope to see you on the finish line

driving all your friends
at a speed they cannot follow
soon you will be on your own
somehow i'm to blame
for this never-ending racetrack you call life

turn right (turn right)
into my arms
turn right (turn right)
you won't be alone
you might (you might)
fall off this track sometimes
hope to see you at the finish line

i did all i could
and i gave everything
but you had to go your way
and that road was not for me

turn right
into my arms
turn right
you won't be alone
you might (you might)
fall off this track sometimes
hope to see you at the finish line.

this is for the new movie called: pirate radio. i will be watching this for sure when it comes out!

so i've been thinking so much about fashion lately,

well not really fashion as in designing clothes(which is still fascinating to me)

fashion as in photo shoots. this particular photo is from the magazine ELLE.

which i absolutely adore. they have some of the most interesting pictures, and articles that interest me. im actually flipping through one as i type and even their ads catch my eye!

when i go to college i have definitely been thinking about doing a little something with photography. because that is one thing that i really have a passion for. another thing that i think i would love love to do is something with makeup. i love experimenting with makeup.

wow, there are so many things i want to do!

i was thinking so much about this today. i want to go see england, greece, italy, france, australia, and hawaii (those are my main must sees) while im still young. there is also alot of other things i want to experience while im still young. and i keep worrying that i will never accomplish all of my dreams. parts of this jack johnson song (dreams be dreams) reminds me of what im feeling:

she's just waiting for the summertime
when the weather's fine
and she could hitch a ride out of town
and so far away
from that low down
good for nothing
mistake making fool with excuses like
"baby that was a long time ago"
but that's just a euphemism
if you want the truth he was out of control
but a short time's a long time
when your mind just won't let it go

well summer came along and then it was gone
and so was she but not from him
cause he followed her just to let her know
her dreams are dreams
and all this livin's so much harder then it seems
but girl don't let your dreams be dreams
you know this livin's not so hard as it seems
don't let your
dreams be dreams
your dreams be dreams...

fun times at an antique shop.
