I just got chills. I want to sing and play like him. I have always, always loved him, and I don't think I'll ever stop. He's given me such a fuel and passion for my own music, that I feel I'll always look to him for musical inspiration. How can I not?

"To be right where you are, how old is your soul?
I won't give up on us, even if the skies get rough,
I'm giving you all my love, I'm still looking up.

And when you're needing your space, to do some navigating,
I'll be here patiently waiting, to see what you find...

Cuz even the stars they burn, some even fall to the earth,
We got a lot to learn, but God knows we're worth it.

No I won't give up...."


...and God knows we're worth it.
I've been through heartache, breakups, tears, and grey skies, but through all of it, I never gave up. I can't ever give up on myself, and you can never give up on yourself either. Love is so much bigger then any one of us can ever understand. Even now in my current relationship there are times where I just have to stop and take a step back and think, "Woah. This love thing isn't always the easiest. I've gotta work at this. But it's worth it. Because love is so big..and amazing..and awesome." Love is so complex, and through a heartbreak or heart make, love never goes away, ever. It's there when you're born, and will be there until you die.

You're worth it.

So, so worth it.

Days go by..

I feel that this blog is slowly becoming more of a photo blog, with tidbits here and there about what's been going on in my life. When I last left off, I was trying to vaguely explain how I was going through somewhat of a "rough patch" in my life...while that's quickly blowing over, it's still something that will leave permanent scars in my mind. However, because of everything that's been going on, I might have gotten a more permanent reminder on my skin as well...a tattoo to remind myself that I have the courage an strength within me to continue on in my life as normal. So, in saying that, here's a little new addition to my foot as of last Wednesday...

"God does not take away trials or carry us over them, but strengthens us through them."

 I couldn't be happier with my new addition :) I love it and I think that because of its permanency that I will never forget how to stay strong. I may have my moments, but the tattoo will always be a reminder to me that when I'm looking down, and I see my foot, to keep my head up and my eyes straight ahead, focused on the road ahead of me. Life's too beautiful to look anywhere else than forward :)
