Love songs

So everyone likes to fall in love, right? Except most of the time it sucks, haha. 

Unless you're Kayla Fillion and Nick Colby, man I love those two. (:

"I can't set my hopes too high because every hello ends with a goodbye" - wise words of good ol' Demi Lovato, She may be in rehab but ya know, she knows what she's talking about. 

It's weird how you can control where your heart is. 

If you're supposed to live in the moment and live each day like it was your last, you would live like crazy and do and say everything you've been holding in. Only problem with that is that most of us don't die before tomorrow and we have to deal with what we did the day before. So do you worry about the future or do whatever you want right now like Maggie Jones? props to that girl. 

If you give your heart to God, he'll never break it, and you can hear love songs all day long if you listen to K-Love, 93.3 (:

What you don't understand is He'll catch a grenade for ya, throw Himself on a cross for ya, jump in front of a train for ya. He'll go through all the pain, take a nail straight through the hand, He already DID die for you.

John 3:16 "God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life"

Graduation thoughts (:

alright....

so I was watching Laguna Beach and they graduate and it got me super excited for graduation. And I really love their colors, and they got to wear leis cause they live by the beach and just.. ah!

I'm so ready to graduate. 

Also.. I decided today that the first bonfire I have after graduation, I'm going to have paper and pens so that people can write something that they want to leave behind when they move on, something they want to leave in high school, or something they want to forget and burn it. 

I can't wait to leave some things behind and follow my dreams. 

Isaiah 41:10 

"So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you."

It's times like these we learn to live again.

I have to remember that my life is going to be so much bigger than this. 

We all need to remember that the drama, the lies, the stolen boyfriends (girl, please), the homework (; none of it is going to matter. 

We graduate in 145 days. 

I'm going to France in 192 Days. 

So none of this, right now, in the Tri-Cities.. none of it is going to matter. 

This is what's going to matter:

I found a quote book that I made in Mrs. Crass' class sophomore year.. I need to remember to listen to my own advice. 

"Only spend time with people who have a positive influence on you"

"Never waste time feeling sorry for yourself"

and

"All you need is LOVE"

and I need to remember Amber Buchanan's advice, 

"Just let go of control"

that's a big one for me... 

I'm so thankful for Dani, Brenna, Kalli, & Laguna Beach, they're good at pep talks (:

OH, and Value Village.

John 5:14 "This is the boldness which we have toward him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he listens to us"

Guess what.

I am who I am.
I'm not going down without a fight. I won't compromise who I am. I love who I am. God made me this way. God made me stubborn enough to NEVER give in to smoking and drinking. 
Obviously it sucks when you don't want you be around your own friends anymore, but I'm not going to give in. 


I bought my abovetheinfluence sweatshirt yesterday and I will wear it with pride. Sorry that I actually want to remember my nights (;


It will be a struggle and probably one of the hardest things I've ever gone through in my high school years, but its just the way it is. 
I will not Smoke
I will not Drink
I will not participate in conversations when people are talking about how fun it was that they don't remember anything.
Sorry, but you're not cool.
When you're 30, fat, and failing, you'll wish you weren't a pot head.
