Outpouring of emotions

Why can't you understand how much I love you? You could never find a girl who loves and cares about you more than I do.  I can be perfect for you...but I never get a chance.  Second choice, second best: you think I would be used to it by now.  Every song pierces my heart because it reminds me of what we had, what I feel now or what I want to happen.  My heart can't keep up with the constant barrage of feelings and hurt. It's so banged up and bruised that I don't know how it has survived.  I love you...but it's never enough.  You don't want to be with someone you know wants to be with you. You like the chase.  One day, you're going to get tired of chasing those unattainable girls who aren't worth it anyways. You're going to want me...but I don't know if I'll even be there for you anymore.  There's only so much a girl can take before she hits the breaking point...I think I'm there right now.  The next few weeks will decide where we stand. Baby I love you and want to be with you but I can't stand the indecision and heartbreak.

College Lessons: Friends

When you graduate from high school, you promise everyone that you will still be friends and nothing will change. What you don't realize is this is an almost impossible feat, especially if you're going off to college.  College changes you in so many ways that you begin to drift apart from your old friends.  The only friendships that have a chance of lasting are the true, deep friendships. The ones that can survive anything because the two of you truly get each other.
College also brings the opportunity to make new friends.  I never dreamed that I would find people here that would be my best friends...but I did. I've bonded with people in ways I didn't think possible with anyone but my two best friends from home. It just goes to show that you never know what will happen when you keep an open mind and just be friendly to everyone.  These girls here have already proven to me that they are true friends and will always be there for me if I need them.
Here's to true friends, because what would we do without them?

The Worth Of A Photo

I don't know why I love taking pictures so much. Maybe it's the way a picture turns out, just the beauty of the image. Or maybe it's my desire to chronicle every moment. We make memories every single day; maybe I want to keep all of them fresh. Maybe I want to be able to look at a picture and have memories come flooding back. The mind is a tricky thing...sometimes we forget things we thought we would always remember. I just want to capture everything that I can, so that when my memory starts to fade, I will always have the pictures. Every picture is, in essence, a memory. Whatever the person was doing at that time is captured forever, within the confines of the photograph. Sometimes, just looking at some of the old pictures makes me laugh. At other times, I cry. These emotions are good though. No matter what happens, I will always have the pictures to help me remember. Pictures are truly worth a thousand words.
