I've been doing those annoying surveys a lot lately.
They help me keep my mind off things.
Yeahp. That's about it. I'll probably throw another one in here soon.

I love you.
I can speak enough Spanish to converse with my grandmother. That is something I have wanted for the longest time.
When I went to Mexico two summers ago, and trips previous, I remember praying that I would learn Spanish faster. I remember thinking 'If only I knew as much Spanish as my mother.' It's all I wanted.
I'm in Spanish 3 at school and even though it's been a lot of work I can now converse with my grandmother.
She flew in today and we talked over dinner.
I wish I could talk to her for hours.
My grandma has the best stories and a beautiful, heavy, Spanish accent.
She is from a small town outside the city.
My grandma is the strongest woman I know.
I love her more than anything in the world.

I can never think of anything but you.
I want the sand.
I want the sun.
I want the heat.
I want the salt.
I want the water.
I want you.
I gave up.
Six years ago I gave up on God.
I don't believe everything happens for a reason.
Give me a reason why my uncle is dead.
Tell me why my grandpa past away and left my grandma alone.
There is no reason as to why my grandma is unable to talk or eat on her own.
Why does my grandpa have to be alone?
Tell me why Riley is only four and he has to have his second surgery on Tuesday.
If money doesn't bring people happiness then why is debt so painful?
God isn't the light.
Light is lack of darkness.
Cold isn't anything but the lack of heat.

Untitled.
Have you ever felt like your entire world, everyone and everything you've ever known, might just be complete rubbish? Crumbling from the foundation and tearing at the seams. I don't think I've ever felt so helpless in my life. I guess we can just leave it at that.

I'm trying something new
So I decided to try something new, new blog, new hair, new people, all adding up to a great summer.
First of all, I didn't tell you..I cut my hair. Almost all of it. 14 inches to be exact. I donated it to locks of love. I like my short hair and sometimes I miss my long hair, but it'll always grow back. Nothing is permanent.
I am leaving this Friday for Michigan, my dad and I are going up to visit my grandparents and aunts and uncles. I'm really happy I'm getting the chance to go. I haven't seen them in a while. I'm going to spend the fourth of July up there and we're coming back the 6th. I'm also leaving on the 8th to go to St. Louis to see my best friend. I'm so stoked. I'll be back on the 14th only to leave for Cozumel on the 23rd. Also planning a second trip to Orlando in early August being that I went with Farrah a few weeks ago for her birthday and fathers day. Needless to say there is a lot going on in my life right now. Between traveling and trying to get a job I have my hands full, but it's okay, it'll all work out in the end.

Blind Expectations
An assumption of fortune
The reliance
on something greater,
something that should be greater.
A character to build on
Letting go of devotion,
and not allowing them
to slip through the cracks.
A paramour attaining affection
A familiar face gone acquaintance
that was before this,
completely consecrated to another.
An eternity to exist
The false perfections
and unfounded perceptions,
gone astray and relinquished.

You again
You are my rock. When I feel like I'm loosing you I feel like I'm loosing myself. You are strong and you listen. You are my rock. I love you. I couldn't tell you this, but it's true. No matter how upset I get you're still there and I know I'll always have that. You mean everything to me. I really wish you knew that.

You
Recently you hurt me and you don't know. You're the one that can't remember, but I can. You told me you were unhappy and I'm sure if you knew you were saying it you wouldn't have said it. You said you didn't like the thing I love the most. It's everything but artificial trash being shoved down my throat. I love it and when you said you were unhappy with it, well I thought it was too damn bad. You don't realize how happy it makes me and it's terrible because I know my happiness has been in your best interest for a while. I'm not saying it in vein but it's true. What makes you happy makes me happy, and I would never say anything to take that away from you. I guess I realized who I'm really dealing with and it's nothing like I thought. It's a damn shame because I really enjoyed your presence, it made me think a little longer and feel a little better but now, it's just a damn shame.
Regarding, The Handsomest Drowned Man in the World
The crashing waves on the shore of this village gave us a gift and his name was Esteban. Esteban was a man of great strength, not only physically but in his heart. He showed a small town who he was but he never spoke a word. Through great modesty he let this village imagine what the world of a man with great size was, how he lived and what he did.
Esteban never spoke but he told us stories of his home. He lived in the house on a small private island with the tallest trees, large doors, and strong floors with the ability to sustain a man with great pride. The island contained beaches slightly longer than most and his china slightly stronger. Esteban told us of his adventures and how he would miss his wife and children. He had flown around the world, twice. Climbed the tallest mountain and swam the depths of the deepest seas. His wife was the happiest woman in the world. She had deep brown hair that fell to her back and eyes that only saw the best qualities in others, similar to those of Esteban. Esteban was clumsy at times but he managed a wholesome life. His kids would run and romp around the island playing games like kitchen and house. His troubles came to us shyly but pertinent in his memory. His family had always been careful with his care. His size had kept him from playing sports and having friends. People in his town often looked at him with fear for other villagers didn’t know he was a sort of gentle giant. He taught this village how to live and regain a confidence that was lost. Our homes small and congested at times would soon grow to ones Esteban could effortlessly manage through. Beds could easily be made longer and our floors marginally stronger. The fronts of our houses were once a rainbow of tope, beige, and grey and are now colors beyond our imagination, sea foam green, sunburst yellow and periwinkle. Esteban taught us to live in color with our eyes a little wider and our hearts considerably larger. Esteban was a proud, strong and inviting man. He never asked anything of us but what he gave was hard to match in comparison.
Our lives of uncertainty are now filled with an immense amount of security and gratefulness to a man that came to us by sea. The light aqua blue in the waves that crash on our shores is now matched by the color of our houses, the smell of our blossoming gardens and a sun that seems to shine a little brighter every morning. The sand on our beach went from pebbles to powder and the trees surrounding the village sway a little further. Sometimes you can hear the wind and the waves together purging a familiar sound, something with the ring similar to the name Esteban.
Esteban never spoke but he told us stories of his home. He lived in the house on a small private island with the tallest trees, large doors, and strong floors with the ability to sustain a man with great pride. The island contained beaches slightly longer than most and his china slightly stronger. Esteban told us of his adventures and how he would miss his wife and children. He had flown around the world, twice. Climbed the tallest mountain and swam the depths of the deepest seas. His wife was the happiest woman in the world. She had deep brown hair that fell to her back and eyes that only saw the best qualities in others, similar to those of Esteban. Esteban was clumsy at times but he managed a wholesome life. His kids would run and romp around the island playing games like kitchen and house. His troubles came to us shyly but pertinent in his memory. His family had always been careful with his care. His size had kept him from playing sports and having friends. People in his town often looked at him with fear for other villagers didn’t know he was a sort of gentle giant. He taught this village how to live and regain a confidence that was lost. Our homes small and congested at times would soon grow to ones Esteban could effortlessly manage through. Beds could easily be made longer and our floors marginally stronger. The fronts of our houses were once a rainbow of tope, beige, and grey and are now colors beyond our imagination, sea foam green, sunburst yellow and periwinkle.

I'm just a little bit caught in the middle
I'm so happy to be done with first semester. It's like a million pounds was lifted off my shoulders. I really hate complaining it's one of my biggest pet peeves but I found myself doing it all the time when I had classes and big assignments due to Ms. Mata or Ms. White. I'm glad to be out of their hair and for all I know I won't ever have to talk to either of them again. It feels really great.
