DEPECHE MODE - ENJOY THE SILENCE

I was seriously obsessed with this video when I was in middle school. My parents blessed me with an old VHS tape that had like about 10 hours of music videos off MTV recorded on it. All 1980’s alternative classic gems. I grew up on this stuff. Perhaps that’s why my music tastes are so golden now. Thanks mom & dad.

Parenting: they did it right.

Lover of the Moon

I fell in love with the way the moon reflected off my skin

and cascaded down my bedsheets.

He shot through my window with his mysterious glow.

Illuminated with his nightly hue.

“Come to me.”

He would sing ever so softly.

And I, restless, would have to follow after him.

Hopeless abandon.

Sleepless nights, turned into sleepless weeks, as our love grew deeper.

My devotion to him I expressed to song and dance.

Basking in his pure delight.

I swayed in his shadow, humming a tune stuck in my head.

The world however, was fast asleep.

And night was mine for the taking.

It was just he and I.

Alone, but couldn’t be happier.

I fell hard and fast for the gracefulness in his touch.

The magic feeling his presence would awaken within me.

The moon is my lover, my friend and companion.

He knows my darkest secrets and my heart’s deepest desires.

From him there is nothing I can hide.

At night I am embraced in his shadow.

I fall asleep as he slowly fades away.

When night is captured by morning.

All the day long I crave his soft touch, as the heat from the sun

beats on my fair back.

The calm of the night bring about such delight.

At times it leaves me speechless.

I am entranced by his beauty.

His grace.

The moon fills every space with his gentle glow.

I hide in his arms, as he wipes away my worries.

Only if for one night.

This is when I truly come alive.

He sees my true colors.

He highlights the lines of my body.

With him I’m safe from the world.

I am a lover of the moon.

A lover of the night.

There is something so incredibly freeing and simply beautiful about just being well…naked. Yeah I went there. God made us NAKED. It’s relaxing. Just sitting here in my dorm room all alone, late at night just nude and chilling. It’s beautiful because its vulnerable and it’s pure. There’s something incredible about embracing yourself, your body & who God made you. It’s good and holy. The body is beautiful. Our society has distorted it so much, that it’s vulgar or provocative to be naked or talk of nude bodies. But I think it’s beautiful. It’s like a returning to my freest state. My purest form. My identity.

Adam and Eve must have been so happy before the fall.

I support nudists. If you can be THAT comfortable in your own skin & who God made you - then by all means go for it! You’ve got my respect.

I am so tired of this ache. The weight of the pain that won’t go away. This time I’m sure it’s here to stay. I’m on the verge of giving up or breaking down. To hide all that I bear inside me is more than any girl should have to carry alone. I’m so exhausted with recycling my heart for every boy who decides to waltz into my life and play with it. Come to stay or don’t come at all. Because some of us can’t handle the pain in the aftermath. Some of us get attached. And YES some of us even fall in love. Don’t trouble yourself with giving me advice. If we were to be real, we’d all admit we know just how it feels to be so high and so in love, just to come crashing down like tragic waves … leaving that feeling of emptiness yet again. It’s human, yet such an inhumane crime to commit. To wound a heart that loves so fondly.

Here’s the thing ya’ll. I’m NOT perfect, I’m not the smartest girl, most popular or social. I’m certainly not the prettiest or toned. I’ve got some curves, and yes I’ve gained a little weight in college. I LOVE food! My makeup isn’t always perfect and my hair isn’t always done. I’m not the most driven and I’m not the holiest woman I know either. I have my many vices & I have plenty of crosses that I have to carry each day. But I’m proud of who I am and who God made me. I am proud of my body, my brain & my faith in God. I LOVE being me and I wouldn’t change that for the world. I’m not a perfect girl, but who that I know has the right to define perfection? I’ve never met a perfect person and that’s okay. There are a lot of things I can’t do or I can’t/don’t have, but there are still many other things that I DO have & I’m GREAT at! I am strong and loving. I’m faithful and caring. I’m creative and quirky. The more I embrace myself, the vices & virtues, the happier I am. God doesn’t expect us to be perfect, He just expects us to be the very best we can & to embrace who He made us. And THAT to me is an attitude worth living out.

On February 25th 2004 the love of my life was born.

Her name is Maggie. 

She is my sister, my best friend, my joy, my heart, my inspiration, the apple of my eye.

She saves my life every day with her smile and her spunk.

I cannot imagine life without her.

She is my greatest joy and my greatest blessing.

I honestly doubt I could ever love anyone or anything more than this child.

It may be due to the fact that I fancy myself a little too highly, but I’ve always felt that I was born to do great things.

And not just great things.

No.

I’m talking lime light owning, glamorous, sparkling, funny, inspiring, jaw dropping things.

I want to shine!

And the truth is that I know I can. 

I was born for greatness.

I’m going to be the hero that I always wanted.

I’m going to be me, and who I am is pretty darn great.

Family dropped me off here at like 10:30 :’( Really I adjusted to not living on campus quite well in our 4 day break. *sighs* but yeah then I took a nap from 11:30 to 5:30. I’m quite impressed with myself. Still could sleep more. I’m tired. Could you tell? Yeah and now I’m just sitting here endlessly scrolling through tumblr & listening to some old Never Shout Never jams. Brings about smiles and good memories of better times in southern sunshine. :)

maybe I’ll go make some ramen.

am I officially a college student yet?
