I did.

Hmmm, I'm loving this song.

Today, I was driving while blasting this song and singing along at the top of my lungs. Then, at a red light, while singing the chorus off-key and in front of some construction workers who were doing who knows what (nah, they weren't good-looking for those of you who are wondering)... I realized that my windows were down.

Oops.

I just gave you a free concert!
WHAT UP.

Impossible - Shontelle.
I remember years ago
Someone told me I should take
Caution when it comes to love
I did, I did

And you were strong and I was not
My illusion, my mistake
I was careless, I forgot I did
...
Tell them all I know now
Shout it from the roof tops
Write it on the sky line
All we had is gone now
Tell them I was happy
And my heart is broken
All my scars are open
Tell them what I hoped would be
Impossible, impossible
Impossible, impossible
...
Falling out of love is hard
Falling for betrayal is worse
Broken trust and broken hearts
I know, I know

Thinking all you need is there
Building faith on love and words
Empty promises will wear
I know, I know
...

Asshole.

I just had to share.

HEEEEE.

Twenty-two.

One year older, one year wiser.

When I blew out the candle on my birthday cake, I rattled off a list of wishes in my brain. Yes, a LIST. Don't lie.. I know you guys do it too. It was my birthday - I can be greedy with my wishes if I want to. They don't always come true anyway... I know because I think I've made the same wishes every year since I was in high school.

Maybe that's why I have a list - because I just keep adding on when the first ones don't come true.

NO, I do not wish for my own pony anymore (although note: that never came true - go figure).

and NO, I'm not listing them on here because then they for SURE won't come true. Cross your fingers for me.

ANYHOW:
Watch me ramble.



I don't know how I did it but I talked for 4 minutes + again. I'm convinced I could probably carry on a full conversation by myself so long as I have someone to talk to... or at.

Perspective.

*warning: it's impressive how long I can talk to a computer screen for.

Quotes on my wall:
1) Do not fear going forward slowly; fear only being at a standstill.
2) Live with no regrets. Love with no limits. Above all, enjoy yourself; it's later than you think.

Other quotes I like to keep in mind:
1) Be kind; everyone is fighting their own battle.
2) If it's good, then it's great; if it's bad, then it's experience.
3) Treat the earth well; it was not given to you by your parents - it was loaned to you by your children.

I feel like I learned a lot this summer. About myself, about others and about life. I grew a lot this summer and I loved every minute of it.

I'll never forget the summer of 2010...
