"life ain't always what you think it oughta be."

     well, tonight is the Kershaw County's Got Talent Finale. anddd, i'm in(: it's at 7:00 tonight. $10 for students, $15 for adults. i am not really nervous, more-so excited. that's a first! i guess i've taught myself to stay calm because i've done this so many times
     i'm starting to realize that every person needs an escape: boyfriends, girlfriends, friends in general, vacations, family, shopping, drugs, alcohol, and, my personal favorite...music. when i stepped off of the stage after my audition, my mom looked at me and said, "you become a different person on stage." i've known for a while that i'd be going into theatre or voice. but that comment combined with my voice coach's comment, "you have a future in singing. don't let tonight change that," pretty much wrote my plans in sharpie on my brain. 
    afterall, music is what feelings sound like. and right now, that music is my future. so i guess it's pretty beast that my future is what feelings sound like.

"it's like rain, on your wedding day."

Lately, it's become really hard for me not to quit. I want to quit school (obviously..who doesn't?). I want to quit work. I want to quit trying. I want to quit everything. But a few minutes ago it hit me how lucky I am. I'd be dumb without school, broke without work, and flat out pathetic if I quit trying.
Quit- (v.) to give up.
Don't get me wrong, I have quit a lot of things in my life. I've quit sports, teams, clubs, groups, but, most recently I've quit giving people 3rd, 4th, and even 5th chances that they don't deserve. "Who do you think you are? Running 'round leaving scars, collecting your jar of hearts, tearing love apart. You're gonna catch a cold, from the ice inside your soul. Don't come back for me, don't come back at all." 


Moving on from the depressing emotions and such, lately I've been getting back to photography and the arts. Haley, Anndrea, and I went on a photoshoot rampage at the high school. I even got in front of the camera, for once. Enjoy! <3
buh-bye.

Bitter Goodbyes, Sweet New Starts-

This is the 4th day of my new schedule:

  1. JA Gov.
  2. Honors Biology
  3. Yearbook
  4. French 2
definitely not the easiest semester ever.
I love all of my teachers and MOST of my classes, so it should be an enjoyable year. However, I had to say good-bye to some amazing teachers and fun classes. I'll probably never have Coach Tucker or Mrs. McKenzie again. I will, however, probably have Mrs. Rundlett again. Thank Jesus I won't be in Honors English III EVERRR again.
   Sorry it's been so long since I've posted. It's been a tough couple of weeks. It feels like every time I get my hopes up, there's no one there to catch them when they fail. Except the few, rare friends who are always there when you need them. Sometimes a friend is like a light shining in the darkness.
