spring <3

you poor blogger, how I've neglected you.

this spring break has been quite relaxing and enjoyable :) i love it. i love it. i love it.

nothing beats spending time with family and friends.

I watched I Love You Man. Srsly, I was laughing til my stomach hurt. 

BEACH TODAY! yes!

boba, froyo at yowo, mmm SD.

Man, I can't believe half of my break is already gone. I think spring break needs to be for another 3 weeks. Minimum.

ciao,

jta :)

sigh...

I feel like I only write in here when I don't want to be doing the things that I really should be doing aka homework, reading, etc. 

It's a lovely continuous cycle of school, eat, homework, breathe, volunteer, and sleep.

What happened to just being able to relax?

I suppose that isn't plausible in this world that we live in.

Ah thank you to the people who keep me sane :)

buona notte,

jta

The real trouble with my sarcasm is that half of the time when people think I'm being sarcastic, I'm being genuinely sincere.

There's a story behind everything.

How a picture got on a wall, how a scar got on our face.

Sometimes the stories are simple,

& sometimes, they are hard & heartbreaking.

ciao,

jta

one evening...

Some

claim they are just words,

meaningless fragments

of nothing 

scattered 

about my paper.

Some

claim they are used carelessly,

shattering plates of clear

colorful glass.

But

to me

they are passionate stars,

magically absorbed

So each one I give to you

please hold tightly.

My words have wings.

Changing the world is good for those who want their names in books.

But being happy, that is for those who write their names in the lives of others, and hold the hearts of others as the treasure most dear.

I know an angel, she doesn't wear any wings.

Goodbye 2008, Hello 2009.

oh, I am ready for you.

It's always really interesting to go back and reread old blog posts & you know what, this past year has definitely had its ups & downs. A roller-coaster ride of emotions would be one way to poorly describe it.

I've learned alot about myself this past year: what pushes me to the edge, what makes me smile (family & friends), what I care about, what I don't care about, what I like, what I dislike. It's not like I didn't know some of this stuff beforehand, but I surely learned a few new things or so.

Anyways, I'll keep it short & sweet. I've got my new year's resolutions and will I share them with you? Maybe.

Today I am thankful for my momma. She has unconditional love, whether I'm a good daughter or not & I should show her that I appreciate it. That's an understatement.
