And I Try Not To Dream Of The Impossible Schemes

"It's almost time for a new year.
Which is perfect timing to start a new me.

Possono essere belli si lei lascia la loro storia parla piú forte."

Happy Birthday To You

"I am finally 18.
Thank goodness."

Sing Another Melody Completly

"Jade?

Alexander?

Do you remember that day you fell outta my window?

I sure do,

You came jumping out after me.

Well, you fell on the concrete,
Nearly broke your ass,
And you were bleeding all over the place
And I rushed you off to the hospital,
You remember that?

Yes I do.

Well there's something I never told you 'bout that night.

What didn't you tell me?

While you were sitting in the back seat smoking a cigarette
You thought was gonna be your last,
I was falling deep, deep in love with you,
And I never told you till just now."

Let's Pretend We're In Antarctica

"Thanksgiving this year was so awesome.
From Maya almost squirting more than a mouthful of whipped cream across the room,
To mom telling me to 'get her that little black thing from over there',
It was a really, really good weekend.

I am really enjoying school.

I am starting to settle into my new routine.

I will be an adult very soon.

Things are looking up."

Won't You Give It To Me?

"But you and I now,
We can be alright,
Just hold on to what we know is true.
You and I now,
Though it's cold inside,
Feel the tide turning.

University is fun."

Because We Can't Freeze Ourselves.

She sits him down in a stiff chair,
Rubs his back and strokes his hair,
Telling him it's okay to cry.
But he just sits and stares.
The merciless moon outside
Has nothing now, he's come to realise,
Only the desolation he feels
The cold distance inside.

Angels Fall Without You There

"Fall has come, and it is time for new beginnings.

As our lives begin, so many things are changing.

I take comfort, though, in knowing

Those you love are only

A phone call away."

How Long Should I Stay?

"Good bye, small town.

I will miss you,

But not too much.

I am ready for my life to begin.

3 days."

Baby, Don't Take It Personal

"I am so thankful that I was safe,

And that nothing that bad happened."

I Can Feel It In My Bones.

"'1 Timothy 2:8-10

Since prayer is at the bottom of all this,

What I want mostly is for men to pray—

Not shaking angry fists at enemies but raising holy hands to God.

And I want women to get in there with the men

In humility before God,

Not primping before a mirror

Or chasing the latest fashions

But doing something beautiful for God

And becoming beautiful doing it.'"

All We Can Do Is Keep Breathing

"Graduates,

We have heard a million pieces of advice

From so many smart, talented,

Beautiful,

People.

A lot has been said,

And I just want to say one more thing.

I am so proud of the accomplishments

That have already come out of your lives.

And I know you will amount to greatness.

Congrats, Grad 2010.

You made it."

And I'll Never Be The Same, Oh Yeah.

"I am graduating tomorrow."

I'm Stuck Inside This Rut That I Fell Into By Mistake

"I don't want to be in this place"

But Tell Me, What Have I Done To Deserve You?

"{How fickle my heart,

And how woozy my eyes}

I have a very strict policy

On making this sort of thing

Real.

{And now my heart stumbles on things

I don't know.}"

There's Never Been Such A Beautiful Warning To Me.

"This chapter has ended,

And a new one is beginning.

I couldn't be more excited,

Or more proud of some people.

Change is around, it is

Inevitable,

And things are going to be

Great."

And Love Will Not Break Your Heart, But Dismiss Your Fears.

"Do it.

And I took you by the hand
And we stood tall,
And remembered our own land,
What we lived for."

What Took You So Far Away?

"I am a child
And you are the adult.
I don't know why you can't seem to see this.

Sure, I am graduating in about a month.

That still doesn't mean you can talk to me like a friend,

Over a daughter.

Don't put this pressure on me,

To move or to decide on what I want now.

I can't really take this anymore.

I miss you, but you need to treat me like your daughter,

And stop pushing me to decide what I want.

There is a difference between 17 and 40, you know."

Do You Ever Sit And Wonder?

"So, sure, I could just close my eyes.
Yeah, sure, trace and memorize,
But can you go back once you know.

You don't know me,
You don't know me at all,
You don't know me
You don't know me,

At all.

I am still in disbelief over what I did.

I can't believe I had the guts for that.

A lot of people are probably surprised at it.

But it is so great to hear that more people

Are inspired,

Rather than judgemental.

I feel like I have come leaps and bounds

From being in the place I was

When all these things happened.

The words I was speaking feel

More true this time around."

This Is How It Works

"No, this is how it works.
You peer inside yourself,
You take the things you like,
And try to love the things you took.

And then,

You take that love you made,
And stick it into some,
Someone else's heart.
Pumping someone else's blood.

And walking arm in arm,
You hope it don't get harmed.
But,

Even if it does,

You'll just do it all again.

Regina Spektor always has such a good message.

Maybe that's why you like her so much, too."

Sort Of Wonder Why No One Said A Word.

"Disappointment seems like it is bound to happen on a daily basis.

I don't want to be someone who disappoints.

That life doesn't seems over glamorous to me.

It is funny when you can tell.

You can tell when it is over."

It's The Happiest That I've Ever Been

"He provides me with all I need."

There's No Glitter In The Gutter.

"I feel so lost and unsure.

What is to happen next?

Where am I supposed to be?

Why do I feel so far from You?

It is freaking me out a little."

We're All Wasted.

"How disgustingly unattractive.

I feel sad for people who have become this way."

Lonesome For No One

"Is there even a point in writing here anymore?

Does anyone even read this thing?

Or, better so,

Does anyone even give a shit?"

I'll Never Be The Same

"Things are changing, and things have changed.

I could say a lot about Costa Rica here,

But I think if you want to know,

Just ask."

I'm Brand New

"I can honestly say, I had the 10 most amazing days of my life this past spring break.

More to come on that later."

So I'll Stand, With Arms High

"I am more than ready for this adventure."

Through A Long Hallway With A Broken Light

"I know what I am doing next year.

I get lonely easily.

I miss having you around.

I am okay not having a best guy friend.

I want to forgive you.

I don't want to forgive you.

I am really sad that we didn't work out.

This was a good week.

This was a bad week.

I love my hair.

I am done with guys for a while."

I Should Know That You're Not Going To Change.

"You're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in and you're out
You're up and you're down.

How do I really feel?

Like you've really lost this one."

I'm Not As Blind As You May Think

Is There Any Just Cause For Feeling Like This?

"Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must've been something you said "

There You Go, With Hope Again.

"It has officially been one year.

Which means this is done.

Their relationship is no more.

Looking back, I can see the problems I had.

I thought I would be happy right away, I could get over it quickly.

I though I could get over it alone, and I should keep it to myself.

I didn't realize all that I need and who I need.

It took me one year,

One family becoming two,

One couple becoming two,

Two houses, soon to house two new families.

This is my "New year"

My resolution?

I am making things better.

It may have taken a year,

But I am happy now.

I think we all are getting happy now."

If You Were Falling, Then I Would Catch You.

"Fear."

Suck It, Valentine's Day.

And When I See You Walking Down The Street, Kind Of Guy I'd Like To Meet

"You have awoken this and made it real,

Like a sleeping zombie.

Get ready to face these consequences,

Whether they be bad,

Or maybe even good?"

I Feel The Knife Going In

"The picture seems to say enough.

Fuck."

Here's To A New Beginning.

"A new semester is coming up.

The last semester is coming up.

I need to make it worth while."

And Just Like That

"Don't turn away.
Dry your eyes, dry your eyes
Don't be afraid,
Keep it all inside, all inside
When you fall apart.
Dry your eyes, dry your eyes.
Life is always hard

for the belle of the boulevard."

I'd Never Want To See You Unhappy.

"'You must constantly ask yourself these questions:

Who am I around?

What are they doing to me?

What have they got me reading?

What have they got me saying?

Where do they have me going?

What do they have me thinking?

And most important,

what do they have me becoming?

Then ask yourself the big question:

Is that okay?

Your life does not get better by chance,

it gets better by change.'"

You Are The Only Exception.

"Everything happens for a reason,
This I do believe.

I believe you, my smartest friend,

have a point.

It is time for me to deal with this,

Let's hope I do it right."

Blow By Blow, I Didn't See It Coming.

"There are times when I just want to get up and leave.

And start all over.

Now is one of them.

Is anyone there?"
