Safe & Sound (Vlog#3)

ChArLeY BrOoKe




This is me & my girl T-Swift (Taylor Swift) singing 
Safe & Sound
If I could have any talent like ever it would be to be musically talented.
To be able to sing amazingly.
Bear with my singing here or plug your ears!

LoVeLiEs...
I kind of like these Vlogs for the time being so I hope you do too.
HAHA I can't sing to save my life.
It's awful.
So just ignore my foolish bravery.
I've always wanted to sing in public so here is my chance!
I'm taking it!
Mind you no one could see it or billions...
Here goes nothing though.
And of course I'll leave you with some quotes:

"The loneliest people are the kindest. The saddest people smile the brightest. The most damaged people are the wisest. All because they do not wish to see anyone else suffer the way they do."

"What if we could see the effect before the cause?"

"Sometimes it hurts so much that you feel like your chest will cave in and the only thing stopping it are the gasps of air you take in between the tears."

"Here is to all the sleepless nights
When I daydream at midnight about things
that I forget yet are now talking with the stars
When I danced like crazy to the music of my
floorboards creeking
When I sat on my bed with the windows open and soaked
up every drop of moonlight until
my skin was a silvery tone.
When the dawn came and scolded me for the bags under my 
starstudded eyes.
Here is to all the sleepless nights."

"It's not about getting a chance.
It's about taking a chance."

"Sometimes instead of opening doors, words close them."

"It has been said, 'time heals all wounds'. I do not agree. The wounds remain. In time, the mind, protecting it's sanity, covers them with scar tissue and the pain lessens. But it is never gone."
-Rose Kennedy

"Standing alone is better than standing with people who hurt you."

"It brings tears to my eyes when I think about how hard I'm trying to just be happy."

"I stare up into the dark with an ache in my chest that makes it hard to breathe. But not hard to think."
-Cassia, Matched

"Love is not affectionate feeling but a steady wish for the loved person's ultimate good as far as it can be obtained."
-C.S. Lewis

"I was struggling and alone. I cannot go back to that world, to that shell of a life."
-Tyler Knott Gregson

"If you're really listening, if you're awake to the poignant beauty of the world, your heart breaks regularly. In fact, your heart is made to break; it's purpose is to burst open again and again so that it can hold evermore wonders."
-Andrew Harvey

"I see when men love women. They give them but a little of their lives. But women, when they love, give everything."
-Oscar Wilde

"Sometimes you have to be apart from people you love, but that doesn't mean you love them any less. Sometimes it even makes you love them more."
-The Last Song

"Hey may like you. He probably does. He probably thinks about you all the time. But that isn't what matters. What matters is what he's doing about it, and what he's doing about it is nothing. And if he's doing nothing, you most certainly shouldn't do anything. You need someone who goes out of their way to make it obvious that they want you in their life."

"As I look back on my life, I realize that every time I thought I was being REJECTED from something good, I was actually being RE-DIRECTED to something better."

"Courage, dear heart."
-C.S. Lewis

"When you lose someone. It stays with you. Always reminding you of how easy it is to get hurt."

Remember lovelies,
music is always there for you too, even when people aren't.

Until the Last Falling Star


"Stop the habit of wishful thinking and start the habit of thoughtful wishes."
-Mary Martin

"The only remedy for love is to love more."
-Henry David Thoreau 

"When you are scared but you still do it anyway, that's brave."
-Neil Gaiman

"Everyone has something of beauty about them. But loving lets you look, and look, and look again. You notice the back of a hand, the turn of a head, the way of a walk. When you first love, you look blind and you see it all as the glorious, beloved whole, or a beautiful sum of beautiful parts. But when you see the one you love as pieces, as whys, you can love those parts too, and it's a love at once more complicated and more complete."
-Ally Condie, Crossed

"Love changes what is probable and makes unlikely things possible."
-Ally Condie, Crossed

"There are certain people who come into your life, and leave a mark. Their place in your heart is tender, a bruise of longing, a pulse of unfinished business. Just hearing their names pushes and pulls at you in a hundred ways, and when you try to define those hundred ways, describe them even to yourself, words are useless."
-Sara Zarr

Lovelies, 
I have endless random thoughts running wild in my mind so I am going to share a few with you...
Always remember every day means a whole new 24 hours. Every day means anything and everything is possible again. Take those hours and make them count... you never know how many you will get. I know it can be terrifying to step out of your comfort zone and try new things, take chances, but unless you do so, unless you let things change, they will never get better. Meet new people and you could make friends that will last a lifetime, maybe you'll meet the one for you. We all get chances, but our choice is whether to act on them. If you are always saying no then you will never know the possibilities.
Trust me on that.
Mistletoe... haha... here is my rant on that. Okay so it's cute and romantic. I get it. Who doesn't want to be kissed under the mistletoe. There are songs and songs and songs about it. Truthfully though, I think it's a bit pathetic. Why do guys need an excuse, why do they need a plant to tell them to kiss the girl? Man up and be brave. As I said above, take chances. 
Just saying...
With the New Year on it's way, evaluate the current one. Think about what you want out of next year. 2011 wasn't the best year for me, but it was still good. I will make 2012 even better. I've learned more than I could ever explain in 2,011 blog posts. I've grown. That's the important thing. That part of life isn't always fun, but always worth it. It's making me into the girl I am supposed to be, the better me. You just have to be patient. Take more chances next year, set goals, and make life happen for you. Think more about others to and brighten their lives.
Be bold. Be brave. Be heroic. Be fearless. Be inspiring. 
Never forget how amazing you are. 
Your potential is limitless if you let it be.
Tomorrow=Tuesday=Gratituesday
Think of what you are thankful for, of who you are thankful for... let them know. Let Heavenly Father know how grateful you are for all of your countless blessings. 
I am thankful for you.
I am thankful for forgiveness.
I am thankful for love.
I am thankful for opportunity.
I am thankful for music.
I am thankful for the spirit of the Christmas season.
I am thankful for my life.
I am thankful for being able to see.
I am thankful for being able to express myself through words.
I am thankful for a zillion more things... everything basically, because even our trials are blessings.
Be THANKFUL.
Have a happy GratiTuesday lovelies :)
