Where I Stood

This is me wayyyy back when... 2008! Little C.
I was reading a journal from then and came across this paragraph I wrote and was in awe over the profoundness of it, the truth and how my little teenager self was wise beyond comprehension (for the most part). I look back on some of my writing from then and shake my head and want to destroy it cause some of it is just silly and downright terrible... but I guess that's part of growing up. You keep pushing forward, continually learning and practice and dedication and experience are what mold us into the person we're meant to be. 
I love this quote that I wrote then so here it is...
"No, we can't change the world by ourselves, or everyone in it, or anyone for that matter, but I KNOW we can and must change ourselves individually. Imagine how extraordinary this world has the potential to be if we all look deep inside of ourselves and peer into our hearts and souls and discover all the good inside and how we could spread it to others and become amazing. Only you can control your life and the path you travel no matter your circumstances or how things are around you. You can take destiny and fate and make it what you want of it. I'm not perfect at all but each and everyday I try to be a better person, the best me, and live a great life and do amazing things, not just for me but for the ones in the hopes that maybe in the process of accomplish my own goals and achieving dreams that seemed unrealistic, I can inspire others to do the same."
We can't do everything but we can do something and sometimes it turns out to be more than anything we could've imagined. We have to do what we can. If everyone, or even a large majority, in the world did this, dreamed, cared, and gave their all, how much more beautiful life would be... Make your life spectacularly beautiful and share that beauty with others.

He Makes My Heart Melt Like A Popsickle on The 4th of July



 This is Tyler Knott Gregson
I am pretty sure he is married & I hope he doesn’t mind me putting his picture in this post, but he inspires me beyond measure. He reminds me of a modern day Noah Calhoun with his poetry skills. Go to his AMAZING blog tylerknott.com and when I say AMAZING, I don’t say that lightly. I mean his writing is absolutely, breathtakingly, awe-inspiring, heart racing, lovely, wonderfully, magnificently, magically, brilliantly, leaves-you-wonder-struck, AMAZING. His Daily Haikus on Love make my day. They are like magic. I find myself having to reblog nearly every word he says because I just want to share it with the entire worldI meant it when I said it’s AMAZING. I must admit I’m jealous of his wife because doesn’t every girl want a guy who can write hopelessly romantic poetry that flows like a river to the ocean?! He makes my heart melt like a popsickle on the 4th of July. I am a big fan. I adore him completely. I hope he doesn’t think I’m this obsessed-creepy-girl because I reblog his posts so often and am writing this about him! It’s just when you find something incredible like his blog, you want to share it with everyone! It touches my life, and I hope it does the same for you :) Thank you Tyler for sharing your gift. You have no idea how much I appreciate it. I know you will all fall in love with his words too! To prove to you how AMAZING they are I’m going to share some of my all time favorites of his Daily Haikus on LoveI guarantee they will give you chills, leave you stunned, & melt your hearts.
“And of all the stars
In all of the nighttime skies
You are the brightest.”

“I don’t want to be
The center of anyone’s
Attention but yours.”

“You’ve stolen my breath
And I could care less if I
 Ever breathe again.”

“I’m only enough
Because you believe I am
I’ll be more for you.”

“How often I wonder if you are thinking of me at the exact moment I am thinking of you.”

“Every word of mine
Belongs only to you, as
I belong to you.”

“I never needed
Your skin to be touching mine
More than this moment.”

“Waking up to you
And falling asleep with you,
What else could I need?”

“I am with you now,
You can shut your eyes knowing
I always will be.”

“We love like rainfall
But when we touch it’s passion
Like a lightning storm.”

“What good are my arms
If I am not holding you?
What good are these hands?”

“In the smallest ways
Life gives us little hints that
We’re made of magic.”

“If your walls come up,
I’ll become the best climber
You have ever seen.”

“I am all the things
You never knew you needed,
I can set you free.”

“Where did you come from
And how did you know the way
Through all this darkness?”

“I am the answer
To all of your heart’s questions.
It’s always been me.”

Because You're Amazing Just The Way You Are



“Dear other half, can we meet now?”

“You can easily judge the character of a man by how he treats those who can do nothing for him.” 
Malcolm Forbes

“Don’t ask yourself what you did wrong or how you could’ve done it differently. Don’t waste your valuable heart and mind trying to figure out why he did what he did. Or thinking back to all the things he said wondering what was the truth and what was the lie. The only thing you need to know is that it’s really good news: he’s gone. Hallelujah.” 
He’s Just Not That Into You

“An easy life doesn’t teach us anything. In the end it’s the learning that matters: what we’ve learned and how we’ve grown.” Richard Bach

To My Future Husband: Sometimes I feel like you are never going to get here, or I don’t deserve you after everything I’ve done. But I know God is working on me to prepare me for that day you come into my life. He’s preparing you too. All in His time.

To My Future Husband: I can’t wait to be your beautiful, spotless, clean bride. I can’t wait to have your last name as my own. I can’t wait until we finally get to make passionate love to each other. I can’t wait to call your family my family. I can’t wait to see what God has in store for us. I can’t wait to praise Him, honor Him, and glorify Him each day with you. I can’t wait until we own a home, raise a family, and grow old together. I’ll always love you. Forever and ever, okay?

To My Future Husband: I feel that I’ve been waiting for you very patiently, and I will continue to waitforever if I have to.

“Be who you are no matter what and don’t let anybody tell you otherwise. You are the most 
beautiful thing in the world.” 
Alex Gaskarth


“It’s easy to stay inside, shut your door, and say you’re fine with the life you have but try something different every once in a while just so you can say you took the risk of making someone feel loved.” 
Hayley Williams

“Yet losing him seemed unbearable. He was the one she loved, the one she would always love, and he leaned in to kiss her, she gave herself over to him. While he held her close, she ran her hands over his shoulders and back, feeling the strength in his arms. She knew he’d wanted more in their relationship than she’d been willing to offer, but here and now, she suddenly knew she had no other choice. There was only this moment, and it was theirs.” 
Nicholas Sparks, The Last Song

“So avoid using the word “Very” because it’s lazy. A man is not very tired, he’s exhausted. Don’t use very sad, use morose. Language was invented for one reason, boysto woo womenand, in that endeavor, laziness will not do.” 
The Dead Poets Society

“It’s refreshing to hear a guy say ‘I made plans for us,’ instead of 
the usual, ‘I don’t know, whatever you wanna do.’”

“Dear you, I hope you realize all I really need is someone to care.”

“Sometimes the prettiest smiles hide the saddest stories.”

“People may forget your name, but they’ll never forget your kindness or how you made them feel.”

“God understands our prayers even when we can’t find the words to say them.”

“I like to tell people they’re beautiful not because it’s good to hear and not because it makes me feel better about myself, but because everyone deserves to hear it everyday.”

“Society is wrong. Dead wrong. We’re taught to believe that exotic is beautiful. We’re taught to believe that miniature waists, and perfect tans are beautiful. We’re convinced that blonde girls with the gorgeous smiles will win every time. But the truth is: originality is beautiful. Big brown eyes, green eyes, blue eyes. Curves. Your natural skin tone is beautiful. Your hair color, your smile. Your voice, your laugh, your personality. Every inch of you is beautiful, every single part of you shines with your essence. You, my dear? You’re lovely.”
