"The human heart has hidden treasures, in secret kept, in silence sealed; the thoughts, the hopes, the dreams, the pleasures, whose charms were broken if revealed." -Charlotte Brontë

2011
You have been a great year for me. This has been the best year I've had since 2008. Everything has come together. And I am at least with peace with all issues that are unresolved.
Review of this year:
-Spent the majority of time with my best friend Jazmine and my godson Sidd.
-I bought my 2011 Toyota Corolla!
-Alex started working with me.
-Alex & I moved in together, in our first apartment.
-I got a promotion to Sales manager at my job!
Those are the top things that happened this year and I feel so blessed.
Let's see what 2012 brings! <33333333

Christmas
I saw almost all of my family. And for the first time, Alex joined my family and me for Christmas dinner. My Grandpa loved Alex immediately and I am so relieved because he is a hard judge. My Grandpa barely said two words to my last ex. I just feel so grateful that my prayers are being answered. 2011 was a year of hope for me. I am so lucky to have a wonderful and accepting family. I am blessed to have Alex, who is my best friend and the person I will probably spend the rest of my life with. God is helping me and answering my prayers, He is here with me every moment of every day. I am eternally grateful. He is the reason for the season. Always.
My strength and faith has grown so much in the last year.

Darkness stirs and wakes imagination.
Silently the senses abandon their defenses."
The Other
"Not him... the other. It's always been the other...."
Why am I just now realizing this when I feel as if I've known forever?
I was just too connected to the idea of love as a whole. My dream with the sketch, the picture, the painting... completing before my eyes and then I blink, the dream proceeds, I realize the paper is blank and the image I saw before my eyes was not the correct one. Everything, everything, EVERYTHING needs to be adjusted.
My best friend's words buzz in my head, like a beehive, an unmanageable mess.
"...old
..............lasting.....
wisdom.....
growth......... you.....
....before....
............without...... this
he...... normal.....
..listen
soul..... follow....
.....worry.... meant.... choose.........
be...... doesn't..... halves... your

same....same....same.....aura..... eyes....whole.. loss
.....comfort.... he... you.... same...... same........... same.....
..............I know who is right for you........
..........Same person."
Just scrambled words.... pieces of my puzzle.
The Other.

Letting Go
“I may have lost my heart, but not my self-control. ”
“I can listen no longer in silence. I must speak to you by such means as are within my reach. You pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope. Tell me not that I am too late, that such precious feelings are gone for ever. I offer myself to you again with a heart even more your own than when you almost broke it, eight years and a half ago. Dare not say that man forgets sooner than woman, that his love has an earlier death. I have loved none but you. Unjust I may have been, weak and resentful I have been, but never inconstant. You alone have brought me to Bath. For you alone, I think and plan. Have you not seen this? Can you fail to have understood my wishes? I had not waited even these ten days, could I have read your feelings, as I think you must have penetrated mine. I can hardly write. I am every instant hearing something which overpowers me. You sink your voice, but I can distinguish the tones of that voice when they would be lost on others. Too good, too excellent creature! You do us justice, indeed. You do believe that there is true attachment and constancy among men. I must go, uncertain of my fate; but I shall return hither, or follow your party, as soon as possible. A word, a look, will be enough to decide whether I enter your father's house this evening or never.”
New
Life is beautiful and from this point on, I plan to cherish every day.
I am letting go of all things that are uncertain. I am now embracing a future that is steady and reliable over the future that is a dream.
“I cannot fix on the hour, or the spot, or the look or the words, which laid the foundation. It is too long ago. I was in the middle before I knew that I had begun.”

Thanksgiving & 60 years
Well... I was so thankful to have almost all of my wonderful family around me this Thanksgiving. I truly feel blessed for everything I have. The threads of my life finally feel like they are weaving themselves together to make a beautiful future and an exciting outlook on the times ahead. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
And... Happy 60 year anniversary to Dominick & Mary Scanlon (my grandparents). They are two of the most wonderful people on this earth and still very much in love with each other.

Stubborn
What is meant to be is meant to be. Hear that Camber? Leave it alone.
Stubbornness usually wins... so this is a wasted effort to try and talk myself into walking away from my emotions. You can't let go of an idea that makes complete sense. You can't let go of unrealistic dreams. And you definitely can't fathom the idea of not having the future that you would die to have. I need him to be my future, more than I have ever needed anything in my life.

Shattered Pieces
I am so much more content with my life lately. I am finding happiness in the simplest things. I don't feel numb anymore, and it's so relieving. I am so blessed to live the life that I live and I thank God for it everyday. I have had so many struggles the past few years, but I finally feel like I am going to be able to get a grip on everything bad that has happened and let it go. I have to come to terms with my past and realize that I can't control everything and also come to terms with the fact that I can not help somebody who is not willing to be helped. What I can do, however, is cause awareness and prevent it from happening to somebody else. I don't ever want anybody to go through the struggles that I go through everyday. I don't want anybody to carry such a heavy burden and not be able to help somebody they love. My heart is heavy, but there is only so much I can do until I have to look around at the shattered pieces, pick them all up, and put them together again. That is what I am doing, I am putting myself together again.

Look After You
Forgive the urgency but hurry up and wait
My heart has started to separate
Oh, oh,
Be my baby
Ohhhhh
Oh, oh
Be my baby
I'll look after you
There now, steady love, so few come and don't go
Will you won't you, be the one I'll always know
When I'm losing my control, the city spins around
You're the only one who knows, you slow it down
Oh, oh
Be my baby
Ohhhhhh
Oh, oh
Be my Baby
I'll look after you
And I'll look after you
If ever there was a doubt
My love she leans into me
This most assuredly counts
She says most assuredly
Oh, oh
Be my baby
I'll look after you
After You
Oh, oh
Be my baby
Ohhhhh
It's always have and never hold
You've begun to feel like home
What's mine is yours to leave or take
What's mine is yours to make your own
Oh, oh
Be my baby
Ohhhhh
Oh, oh
Be my baby
I'll look after you
You are so beautiful to me.

Circumnavigate the globe,
All you have is hope.
And the way you seem to flow
Circumnavigate the globe,
I never seem to lose control,
With you.
Everyone of us is high,
Everyone of us is low,
Everyone of us is here,
How about you?
Your eyes are closed,
Your head held low,
Your eyes are closed.
Everyone of us is high,
Everyone of us is low,
Everyone of us has hope,
For you.

Refreshed
I forgot how beautiful the stars are in the mountains. The lights are just too bright in cities, the air is too thick as well. I could have stayed up all night just looking at the stars. It's times like those that remind me of how thankful I am to have such a loving God. How could anybody look around at such beauty and not believe in God? I am grateful.
In the end though, it was nice to get back... I missed my bed... which I'm actually looking forward to jumping into right now.
Good night.
P.S. The rain, thunder, and lightening today made me smile. Good bye summer, hello beautiful autumn and winter.<3

Broken
I am broken in so many ways. In more ways than I ever care to explain. I am at a point in my life where I need to change who I am or get used to what I have become. I honestly can't even believe I am writing this right now. I think I'm just putting myself out there for once.... people need to know who the real me is.
I have been keeping my emotions and feelings inside for a long time. It's caused a lot of damage. I feel as if I've lost myself.
So here is what you need to know if you are close to me. I love you and care about you more than you know and more than you could ever imagine. I have boundary problems.... I don't want anybody close to me. But just because I don't let you in does not mean I don't care about you. I have built this goddamn wall around myself and nobody can get through it. I know, I have problems.
I am broken and that is it... I don't know how else to describe it. I am mean to everyone and I hurt people that I love consistently. I am selfish and stubborn. But the most important thing right now to know is that I am going to change. It may take a lot of time but it will happen. I am determined.
I am going to get myself together and figure out this mess of my life.
I used to be so strong... I'll be there again.
It's going to take time.

I guess I am, but it's only because I'm exhausted and drained the majority of the time. Maybe things will change. I'm happy for the moment and that is what matters. Soon, I'll be happy enough to start writing again consistently. Passion, writing is my passion... I won't ever let it go. Everything is getting clearer.
Life is getting better because I've been praying consistently. Faith in my beliefs has always been a big part of my life.

I don't want to write in my room 24/7. I would love to sit at a Starbucks all day and just write and drink coffee... hello heaven. <3
I wish I could afford one right now.. maybe I'll just get one of the cheap $200.00 ones.

OH MY GOD!!!
First of all, I’m really sorry for taking so long to get back to you – life got ahead of me for a while there, and I’m only just starting to catch up.
You’ve absolutely made my day. It’s amazing to know that someone’s reading and enjoying the books – specially when it’s someone who’s clearly as passionate about books as I am! Thank you so much for taking the time to e-mail me, and for putting a huge happy grin right across my face.
I worked on an archaeological dig in Sligo, back in the mid-90s, but I haven't been back there since. It's stunningly beautiful.
All the best,
Tana
Tana French just wrote an email to me!!! I am in complete shock! Her stories are so beautiful and she is such a talented author. She is one of the writers that inspires me the most. I am so happy right now.

I am so attached to him today... maybe we can finally get things back on track with our relationship. He is my best friend and I would be completely lost without him in my life. It's funny how men can make a woman frustrated one minute and completely in love the next.

Day 11 — A Deceased Person You Wish You Could Talk To
Day 11 —
My grandmother. She was the most brilliant woman I have ever known, there are not many people that can finish the New York Times crossword everyday without any help. She taught me so many wonderful things that will stay with me for life. The best thing I gained from having her as my Grandmother, is my passion for reading and writing. She taught me to read at a young age, and since then I haven't been able to stop myself. I would trade anything just to spend another day with her.

My middle finger... right next to my left ring finger that was broken years ago and still remains crooked. My hands are going to look terrible.
I have this ugly bruise under my middle finger.... and right now (while I'm typing this) I realized that it's going to be hard to type tomorrow with my obnoxious finger brace.

Falling Slowly
"I don't know you
But I want you
All the more for that
Words fall through me
And always fool me
And I can't react
And games that never amount
To more than they're meant
Will play themselves out
Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you have a choice
You'll make it now
Falling slowly, eyes that know me
And I can't go back
Moods that take me and erase me
And I'm painted black
You have suffered enough
And warred with yourself
It's time that you won
Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you have a choice
You've made it now
Falling slowly sing your melody
I'll sing it loud."

I Am
My friends forsake me like a memory lost;
I am the self-consumer of my woes,
They rise and vanish in oblivious host,
Like shades in love and death's oblivion lost;
And yet I am! and live with shadows tost
Into the nothingness of scorn and noise,
Into the living sea of waking dreams,
Where there is neither sense of life nor joys,
But the vast shipwreck of my life's esteems;
And e'en the dearest--that I loved the best--
Are strange--nay, rather stranger than the rest.
I long for scenes where man has never trod;
A place where woman never smil'd or wept;
There to abide with my creator, God,
And sleep as I in childhood sweetly slept:
Untroubling and untroubled where I lie;
The grass below--above the vaulted sky."

Alex is graduating from USD in three weeks!
I'm so proud of him. He's worked so hard these last two years at USD. He's graduating with a Bachelors in Business Administration (with a 3.6 GPA). Yeah, I'm bragging.
He only deserves the best things in life. I wish I could put into words how amazing he is.
I know that someday he will realize what a kind spirit he has and how much his smile and laughter affect the people around him.

Don't Let Me Fall
"Underneath the moon, underneath the stars
Here's a little heart for you
Up above the world, up above it all
Here's a hand to hold on to
But if I should break, if I should fall away
What am I to do?
I need someone to take a little of the weight
Or I'll fall through
You're just the one that I've been waiting for
I'll give you all that I have to give and more
But don't let me fall
Take a little time, walk a little line
Get the balance right
Give a little love, gimme just enough
So that I can hang on tight."

Love & Other Drugs
"I am full of shit. I am knowingly full of shit. I have never cared about anybody or anything in my entire life, and people have accepted that... And then you... you didn't think of me that way. I have never known anyone who actually believed that I was enough until I met you, and then you made me believe too. So unfortunately, I need you and you need me."

Snow
Won four tickets to go snow-boarding/skiing. Don't have a way up there.

Cold
I'm full of hidden thoughts, desires, and wonders.
My dreams, most importantly, will never escape my mind.
Sometimes, at night, I wonder why I live the way I do. Why do I not tell people the things that I want the most? Why am I so secretive? Why am I so cold? Why am I so bitter?
The answer will NOT make sense to most people: I want to live my life with some poetic edge to it. I don't even know how to explain what that means to anyone. I just know that I have certain concepts that I find profoundly beautiful and I don't want them ever taken away. I also think that I enjoy living my life with a certain amount of drama. Most of the time, I don't want to know what is going to happen next. I need to live in my mind, away from everyone else. I want my secrets.
But then again, there is nothing I want more than for you to discover everything about me.... in your own good time.

I miss her more than anything... she's the one person I miss talking to everyday.

Fast
I love my job, I honestly do. The company is such a great company to work for... and the people are amazing. I can happily say that I love going to work in the morning and by the end of the day I don't hate my life.
Turning 21 in eight months!!!!!!! Woohoo!
Sorry, very random blog... I'm just super tired and maybe a little out of it.
Good night loves!

Day Nine- Someone You Wish You Could Meet
I wish I could meet Tana French, J.K. Rowling, or Jonathan Tropper. They are my favorite writers, they are my inspiration. I wish I could learn and grasp how they write. It's so beautiful, I'm addicted to their words, to the feelings, to the characters. I want more than anything to write how they write... FLAWLESSLY.

Dreams
You are my dreams. Every night, you captivate my mind.
Shiver
But you pay me no attention, do you?
I know you don't listen to me
'Cause you say you see straight through me, don't you?
But on and on
From the moment I wake, to the moment I sleep
I'll be there by your side; just you try and stop me
I'll be waitin' in line, just to see if you care
Oh…
Did you want me to change?
But I'd change for good
And I want you to know that you'll always get your way
I wanted to say…
Don't you shiver
Shiver
Sing it loud and clear
I'll always be waiting for you
So you know how much I need you
But you never even see me, do you?
And is this my final chance of getting you?
And on and on
From the moment I wake, to the moment I sleep
I'll be there by your side; just you try and stop me
I'll be waiting in line, just to see if you care, if you care."

In the Woods
In the Woods, by Tana French is the most fantastic book I have EVER read. She is phenomenal.
I am about to start her second book, The Likeness. Jeez... she is my idol.
Reasons I love her writing:
1. She is Irish.
2. You instantly feel attached to her characters.
3. Her stories take place in Ireland.
4. Her ideas are fresh.
5. Her style is choppy.
6. She uses European lingo. Ex: "Bollocks, fags (cigarettes), bloody, bleeding, shite (my Irish grandparents say this all the time), torch (flashlight)..." I could go on and on about the slang used there.
7.The book's emotions bled into me the whole way through.
Please read it if you haven't already.

Vegas
'Cause somebody told me
That's where dreams would be
Gonna sell my car and go to Vegas
Finally see my name upon the Palace marquis
Gonna quit my job and move to New York
'Cause somebody told me that's where
Dreamers should go
Gonna quit my job and move to New York
And tattoo my body with every Broadway show.
Listen up now honey, you're gonna be sorry
Can't get out from under a sky that is falling
And you say
No fame no money I'm nobody
The way I'm running has sure got me down
On my knees.
But next stop, Vegas please.
Gotta get to Vegas
Can you take me to Vegas?
Gonna sell my house and cross the border
'Cause somebody told me dreams live in Mexico
Gonna sell my house I got to lose ten pounds
And cross the border
And make sweet love upon the white sandy shore.
Listen up now honey, you're gonna be sorry
Can't get out from under a sky that is falling
And you say
No fame no money I'm nobody
The way I'm running has sure got me down
On my knees.
But next stop, Vegas please.
It's always just around the corner or you're
On your way to somewhere
That is bigger or better...
If you could only get there
It's never your fault you can't start your
Own winning streak
But I'd hate to lose you to the fortune you seek
I'm gonna lose my mind and sail the ocean.
'Cause somebody told me there were
Cherry blue skies
I'm gonna fix my mind with a final destination
And have a deep sleep upon a sweet dream
I'll never realize...no
Listen up now honey, you're gonna be sorry
Can't get out from under a sky that is falling
And you say
No fame no money I'm nobody
The way I'm running has sure got me down
On my knees.
Next stop, Vegas please.
Can you take me to Vegas? "

Day Eight- A Stranger
When I tried to give him money, he refused and said that he was just doing the Lords work.
He then asked me if I would pray with him. I did.
I prayed for this stranger, that he would be able to call somewhere home someday. I prayed for his well-being and his health. After we finished praying, he said his work was done for the day. He thanked me and walked away without a glance back.
I'll never forget this stranger.
He taught me that you can't stereotype everyone and also that some people, who may be less fortunate in many ways, have a lot to give and a lot more hope than most of us.
Outlander
Young girls run away from home. Young children stray away from their parents and are never seen again. Housewives reach the end of their tether and take the grocery money and a taxi to the station. International financiers change their names and vanish into the smoke of imported cigars.
Many of the lost will be found, eventually, dead or alive. Disappearances, after all, have explanations.
Usually."
