I love the smell of rain. Yes, rain does have a smell and if you’ve missed it you’re moving to fast. I can’t compare it to anything, it’s just so perfect. In the summer it steams off of the hot tar. In the fall it catches on the leaves and is mellow. In the winter it’s a breath of crisp fresh air. In the spring, oh in the spring! It’s a new beginning, a sweet melody, and an old friend you see in the grocery store.

His eyes gazing deep
Out of the window he dreams
Could he dream of me?
Sorry for being such a stereotypical angst-y teen.
Why
I asked my self “why do you blog?” Good question Emma! I have no idea. Probably because I’m the youngest child, crave attention, have lots of opinions, and a short attention span….Or maybe it’s because I love to write. But probably just the first thing.
Happy Easter everybody 🐰
Fortunes
every moment is a golden one, for him who has the vision to recognize it as such

Tea probs
You know you’re me when you have to stir your tea with a butter knife *sigh*
Grilled cheese for lunch…
The bread tastes like toasted cardboard. There is one slice of cheese and it is the thinnest thing you have ever seen! Then the cup filled with chicken broth celery and carrots. So after you buy your $3.00 worth of cardboard and chicken broth you go to find a seat. Oh no all of my friends have chorus!! They have second lunch!!! Nervously I take a lap around the lunch room searching for a familiar face. No one to be found only old friends, and when I look at them my back hurts almost as if there is something in it (maybe a knife). So then I take the dreaded walk to the bathroom sit in the stall farthest to the left, eat quietly, and hope no one comes in. You know the grilled cheese isn’t so bad.

Hard knock life
I don’t know what to write about. My head is all jumbled up, dance, school, family, friends. But I’m lucky, I’m not wondering where my next meal is coming from. I think we all kind of get into this place of my life is so hard, no one understands!! I always try to think of one thing I can do to make me happy. Like watch this!👉http://thoughtcatalog.com/jessica-blankenship/2014/04/this-guy-dancing-to-beyonce-is-more-important-than-whatever-youre-doing-right-now/
Fate
I believe fate is a choice. It’s not chance that you went into the coffee shop where you met your husband. No omniscient forces swept you in there. You made the choice to go in there. This may make me seem like a cynical hypo-realist but doesn’t this mean that your fate is in your hands!! You can control what happens to you. Take your life in your own hands and get shit done!! What do you think controls out fate?
