Who's that girl?


I can’t help but daydream about what I imagine love to be.
It’s that surge of happiness through your veins.
A never ending stream of thoughts about that particular person.
Butterflies twisting and turning in your stomach.
It’s a big goofy grin.
A longing look.
A warm embrace.
A hand to hold.
Love is the way you look at someone.
It can be surmised in just one glance.
Seemingly so simple, but behind it all, incredibly complex.
Love, is Nick and Jess.

It may sound corny, but I can’t watch even one episode without the biggest grin on my face.
These two, now they have that love.
It’s messy, awkward, and wonderful.
The best kind.
With one look, you can tell that Nick is head over heels for Jess.
His eyes light up and he can’t help but smile.
They complete each other.
Sometimes, that perfect person is right next to you all along.
The one that will hold your hand through the ups and downs.
The one that calls you out on all your crazy.
The one that get’s weird with you.
The one that looks at you like you’re the bees knees,
and the cats meow.
Tonight,
I’m dreaming of a love like Nick and Jess.
And waking with a smile and a happiness knowing how good love can be.
Sweet dreams.

Simple Thoughts.


Life can seem scary.
Especially when you realize that it’s messy, complicated, and wonderful all at the same time. 
One day you wake up and realize you have changed, your life has changed, and you are finally ready to accept it and move forward.
There are times when you get stuck in the past, and even better times when you realize how much there is to enjoy in the present.
This year has been my year of change.
For the first time I feel like an adult.
All the things that scared me before Paris,
(the future, school, life itself)
Well, they still scare me, but I am no longer afraid of what they will hold.
I’m excited for the challenges ahead and who I have become.
It’s amazing what can happen to a person after just a few months.
The growth one can go through, and how they see life, it all just changes.
For me, it includes an abundance of happiness.
This happens to be one of my favorite years in a while.
There is nothing inhibiting my path, and I am learning to enjoy every day with immense laughter and love.
Why waste time not doing what makes you smile and being with people that feel the same way.
It’s a wonderful epiphany: Surround yourself with people that only help you to grow and allow you to be filled with a happiness you may have never thought possible.
So, while my changes this year have come from within, I’d like to take this moment to thank the people in my life that have stood by my side without question, through the good and the bad, and have helped me to become the person I am today.
On that note,
Welcome change and growth.  Coupled with a group of wonderful friends, you could find yourself happier than before and on a path you are proud of.
Smile.
Laugh.
Let go.
Move forward.
Enjoy.
