I really hope so...

Do you remember when you were 6 or 7 and you went to birthday parties and got "goodie bags"? I remember one time getting a little kaleidoscope. Looking through it towards the light and seeing all the colors.

Life is that Kaleidoscope. 

You always aim for the sun or the light to see the image clearer. Its  hard to see in the dark , then someone comes along to help you. You turn it and there are new colors. Sometimes its prettier than other times. Every once in a while you get that beautiful mosaic. Then you move your hand the slightest bit and its gone.

Honestly, change is hard. It's what makes us strong. And some changes will get easier over time with practice. Often something changes with friends. You are great one minute than someone else gets involved and changes your friendship. With me its moving alot.

 I've had  more change than I wanted lately. It had been fine. It was great quite frankly. Then they just kinda disappeared. Maybe there's a chance we will meet again. I really hope so...

Change...

Recently, my friends moved away. I've known them for about 2 years. Being a military brat, I'm pretty accustom to moving around ever year or so. I've been lucky these past few years. They just moved back to the base I was born at. I like it there, it's not my favorite place I've lived. They have the sweetest baby sister, and she just turned 1 on the 23! It's going to be a big change not to go watch movies at there house on Friday nights. Who are we gonna go to "the target" with? I'm gonna miss them alot.

I'm okay with change. I've been to more schools than most person will in a life time. I've met people from all over the world and who speak many different languages. I've been all up and down the East coast and now around the Mid-west.

People at track, or swimming meets ask me what its like to be a military brat and do I like it. I always say the same thing. I don't know anything other than this. This is my life. I haven't had the same friends since kindergarten. I haven't lived in one house my whole life. I won't go to school in the same town for my education. My life is so much more than that.

For example:

1. I went to the first semester of 2nd grade and one school and then switched to a school in a different state. (That's one of many times I've done that.)
2. I've been to 4 elementary schools, 1 intermediate school and 1 junior high. (Since kindergarten or 1st grade
3. I've cheered for multiple minor and major baseball teams.
4. I've cheered for many different college and national football teams.
5. I have enough postcards from any where and everywhere to fill a shoe box.
6. I will start a conversation with just about anyone now, I am fearless.
7. I've had so many best friends it's hard to remember at what base we were friends at.
8. I've lived at the same base 3 non-consecutive times. 

You say your living large, try my shoes on for size.

Y.O.L.O.

Song: The Story
Album: The Story

This song was in the background of the credits of the movie The Lucky One, a great novel by Nicholas Sparks. My mom actually told me about this song and I really love it. It's been out for a while now but has been of interest lately. I love how the music is slow when she sings then picks up after.

Don't Bully!

Don't be a bully and don't think its OK to be bullied!!!!!!!

Jump then Fall

I wish I could go back.

 It might be because I lost something. It might be because you didn't say it . It might be because I didn't say it.  I guess we both didn't say how we felt. 

We were gonna try and fix it, but I guess you didn't care all that much. Now we might  never go back to the way we were. It was fun while it lasted but it was cut short. Maybe it was that other persons fault. They seamed all too happy with how the situation ended. But I didn't want that. I will not in the future either. But you were right in the end. Feel free to tell me I told you so, because you did, and I didn't listen.

.................................................................................................................................................................

Always Remember: 

You can't go back, even if you try. What ever you do, speak your mind because if you don't you will never know. I wish I could go back but I think it's a little too late. 

Jump then Fall, and hope you land softly.

Be Who You Are

Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.-Dr. Seuss

Artist: Imagine Dragons
Song: Amsterdam

This is the featured single of the week. I really like the intro to this song because it isn't like any of the music I typically listen to. They have a similar sound to Hurts which is another band I like. They have very good voices. I highly suggest downloading this song for FREE on iTunes for this week only!
