For the love of Sundays....

Soooo the Sunday TV lineup !!!!! Fabbbbulous ! I'm not much of a tv watcher but some shows I'm addicted. My whole teenage existence consisted of One Tree Hill ! The only thing that could get me though the weeks when I was hurt, torn, bogged down, grieving, whatever it may be, OTH was the answer. Needless to say, and only a true tree hill fan will understand, nothing will compare to the relationships and laughter that was Tree Hill, NC.

Anyhoo, Sundays have gained some spotlight for me this fall, Once Upon and Time and Revenge on ABC. Obsessedddddd with Revenge. What a great storyline ! Original for once. I'm dying to see next weeks episode after tonight's confrontation with Jack and "Amanda." looooove it !!!
And just to make it better, the one and only The Walking Dead returned tonight and I have yet to watch, but it's downloading as we speak :) cantttttt wait !!!! Never thought I'd like a show about zombies, but, scary as it is, I just can't get enough !!!!

Got my puppy snuggling with me and pumpkin pie liquer on ice, oh yeah, I'm ready :)

Xo lovers !

Weekly Wisdom

For those of you who don't know I lived in Disney World for about a year a few years back, I very luckily got the chance to be a Disney College Program Participant !! :) My life forever changed after Disney, I learned a lot about life and myself. I have so many things I want to accomplish in life and I know with my determination I will get there. I may not be where I want right now, the city, the state or even the attitude everyday, but thats the exact place I'm meant to be, I'm getting there, I'm molding myself every minute and I'm becoming who I'm meant to be. It may not be the ideal situation but its part of my path, and thats the path that I will continue toward greatness. I know who I am and where I want to be and you bet, I will get there. But how? You see, thats the beauty of it. The journey. The Climb....

Here's some weekly wisdom in the shape of a Disney Lyric, Miley Cyrus.
Beauty in these words....

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waitin' on the other side, It's the climb

I've been a bit down and feeling a little gloomy because I'm not totally happy with life. It's weird, I've realized more and more lately, how many things and people I have in life to be truly grateful for. Can't wait to start the journey that we have ahead of is within the next year but so happy to be enjoying each day along the way, the little things :)

Hi Friends !!! My page has been under a series of reconstructive efforts and I'm back, new look, new me. I'm afraid I'll swarm you with posts if I don't quickly update you. I haven't posted since December 2010. Since then, I have experienced the worst roller coaster of my life, a broken heart, college graduation, A Florida/Disney/Beach/Reunion/Vacation, countless interviews, four-five jobs, new friends, new love, lost relationships, three new apartments, promotions, First cruise, another small vacation, a few independent design projects, one HUGE opportunity to hopefully change my design career, bf's promotion that will hopefully move us to SC, and an up and coming independent business of greeting cards, print design, bracelets and creative services !!! Phewf. Im sure everyone else's life has been just as crazy but I sure am ready for fall and now that life has calmed down a smidge, Im ready to start faithfully blogging again. Much love Til then- BelieveInMe

Beautiful .

Deep Thought...

Its one of those days...I feel totally lost. And the thing is on days like these, he's the only one to make it better. Just a look, that look that tells me he's there through absolutely everything, thats all that I need. I woke up this morning in a grey cloud, just that feeling that today would be an awful day. I went to my History of Visual Communications class and aced a test. After that, black hole. I wanted to go to bed and never wake up. I pride myself on positive feelings and always being optimistic, so when I feel like this I just wanna hide, bury the imperfections and disappear. My mood always subsides, but today feels different. Like I'm not gonna get over it or something. I need some distractions, being an art student and having no art courses this semester has both been a drag and depressing. I miss being totally immersed in designing and chaos. I miss feeling like my education had a purpose. And the sadder thing is in less than 6 months it will all be over.

I've never been so excited to get on with my life and really make something of myself, but recently, I'm more scared than ever !

Been gone for far too long....

Sooooo, I've been in Florida since January. On nothing but a Disney Internship. Experience of a lifetime if I must say anything. Crazyyyyy. Im still unsure if anything I did was worth it. I'm behind in school, officially the laziest person ever, want to do nothing beneficial for myself, just have fun. Sad thing is, back to reality I've been since Sept. and boyyyyy can I tell you its been the hardest thing in my life. Getting back after a 7 month vacation..... HA !!!!

Not sooo simple.

I miss Florida, everyday. Not the job even for a second. But the memories and the freedom, thats hard to find here at home.

Battling sadness and trying to figure out who I really am, is hard and challenging but I'm embarking on a journey to truly discover who I am.

" I shot for the sky, I'm stuck on the ground"

Jason Walker, Down

When I'm crashing through the madness, not sure who Im supposed to be, its your hand that's leading me.....

Here with you I feel it, close my eyes and see it,
in a midnight talk, in a morning kiss, when I'm in your arms that's where it is, come and take a walk, we cant resist, when we feel that rush,
That's where it is <3

To my heart:

In order to fufill everything you need, I guess i need to know what that is first, i thought you wanted to be in love, you are. Then I thught to myself, maybe you need a commitment, you have it. Is that ever enough? To be fully loved and commited to? Why do i feel incomplete? When hes around, Im whole. I feel like Im where i need to be and with whom im meant to be with. But when we argue, when Im hurt or misunderstood, i just wanna give up. Whats making me hold on? I couldnt give you that answer even if i tried. Holding on in this relationship has been difficult, but theres no place else id rather be. Im sitting, praying and hoping with my wishes, that my boyfriend comes bak to me. The one i fell in love with. His laugh, charm and smile. I miss him. More and more everday. I know he doesnt mean to hurt my feelings, but it hurts, it hurts to be put down and swore at, and belittled. Its not as bad as I was before, i dont care. Youre never going to do that to me ! It wont happen, you need to understand that even a little is to much. You dont talk to someone like that. Esp someone you love. I guess what im trying to say is, im trying. Im trying to give you everything you need heart so you wont hurt anymore, but its hard. Its so very hard to deal with everyday. Wondering...am i enough? Did i do something wrong? Truth is, i never do, im constatnly giving 110% but even at the slightest frustration, he gives up. Im not sure if thats something i can handle. Fight for me. I hate to sit here and wonder, while you just sit here and ignore. Where do i turn now? I dont need to be the center of attn. thats the last thing i want, i just want to be understood. its nice for someone else to kow what youre talking about. to get you. you know.

So....

...how do you know when you're actually in love, i arrived at this question today when Mr. Muscles sent me an ever popular “Love you :)” text and my reiterated response being,” Love you more !” I think the playful arguemtn is a common argument within young relationships. But why? Does it make us feel better to hear it back, even though the painful truth may be that this is just another little bicker that we enjoy to have in our relationships. I mean how do we ever really know who loveds who more? Or if we even love another at all. I can tell you, its this feeling of completeness, I feel whole when hes around, like nothing can touch me, nothing is going to hurt me. And I think the real reason I know it, I know, everyday that no matter what happens to me, i want him to be the person next to me when I fall asleep. I want him to be the person that I wake up next to and kiss in the morning. It never gets old, hearing Im beautiful, the innocent kisses that turn to passionate love, the soft touch when he stares into my eyes and holds my cheeks to kiss me gently. Nothing compares. I’ve levde others before, but have I ever been in love? I’m not sure, im still not sure if I have ever been in love, what I do know is that I have never loved aother the way I love him, and the feelings I have go to the grave, I put him first, worry constantly and have claws out for any girlt that lays eyes on him, Im protective and loving and crazy and wildy in love with this boy. He’s everythng. And telling him I love him, just seems to be a way of letting him know that Im here, always here. Bur when he argues, i love you more abby, I lifght up inside, I feel good. Why? Does he love me more, how does he know, how will we ever know? Can love be measured by anyone? Or maybe the real question is, Why do we feel the constant need to be reassured?

The New Beginning to the Blog !

1st Off.... I want you to understand I’m from a small town in New York, very small, the cows are close in numbers, here we have a few things in common with everyone around, big families, long driveways and huge hearts. I’m an only child and the center and soul of my parents lives, I adore puppies, cant ever get enough ice cream and could walk around the lake for hours. I could spend days on a boat and take a wine tour weekly, I miss High School, I love my Volleyball Senior Team more than any group Ive ever been a part of. My parents are my best friends. I have a fedish with designer bags and lip gloss. I think with my heart nearly, no, all the time. My head always gets in the way. Creating and dreaming are my two biggest pastimes, I’m always doing something big. I dream to open a Bed and Breakfast,
I love the city but belong in my small town, a sundress is my choice of apparel and I have found the love of my life in a guy the exact opposite of me in every way. Despite every feeling and thought I haev each day, I know I have found the guy I am going to marry ad share my life with, and I can honestly say that I have never in my life been happier. So i guess the comments and stories that will be shared after this post are those of my life, my thoughts, my dreams and my favorite things. Foremost, understand this, I am now and always a country girl <3

My trust was with you, 100%

Believe in me, like I believed in you that day...I lost myself in the softness of your eyes and the touch of your hand...my faith lies within you, and that I can't retrieve...don't let me down baby, you helped me find myself, the parts of me that I lost so long ago...you and I are perfection, and you and I know that I am the one to save you, but the next step; its yours to take... trust me when I say I'll never let go <3

One Tree Hill Quotes...

Truth is still absolute. Believe that. Even when that truth is hard and cold, and more painful than you've ever imagined. And even when truth is more cruel than any lie.

Lucas: Because it´s only when you´re tested that you truly discover who you are. And it´s only when you´re tested that you discover who you can be. The person that you want to be does exist, somewhere in the other side of hard work and faith, and belief and beyond the HEARTACHE and fear of what life has.

Lucas: My name is Lucas Scott. I'm a senior at Tree Hill High School. Tree Hill is just a place somewhere in the world. Maybe it's a lot like your world. Maybe it's nothing like it. But if you look closer, you might see someone like you. Or someone like my best friend, Haley. If you're married, a senior in high school, and not sure if your husband is still alive, then I'd say your world is a lot like Haley's. Today was supposed to be the best day of her life. But it's amazing how things can change in the blink of an eye. Or, in this case, in 29 minutes.


Lucas: (voiceover) Does this darkness have a name? This cruelty, this hatred.How did it find us? Did it steal into our lives or did we seek it out and embrace it? What happened to us? That we now send our children out into the world like we send young men to war, hoping for their safe return but knowing that some will be lost along the way. When did we lose our way? Consumed by the shadows, swallowed whole by the darkness. Does this darkness have a name? Is it your name?

Much as some of us fight it,
Our parents have a mystical hold over us,
The power to affect out thoughts and emotions,
The way only they can.
It's a bond that changes over time, but doesn't diminish,
Even if they are half a world away .....
....or in other world entirely.
It's a power we never fully understand,
We're left only to wonder that when our time comes,
What kind of hold will we have on our children ?

"If you could go back and change one thing about your life, would you? And if you did, would that change make your life better? Or would that change ultimately break your heart? Or break the heart of another? Or would you choose an entirely different path? Or would you change just one thing, just one moment? One moment, that you've always wanted back."

"There comes a time when every life goes off course. In this desperate moment, you must choose your direction. Will you fight to stay on path? Will others tell you who you are? Or will you label yourself? Will you be haunted by your choice? Or will you embrace your new path? Each morning you choose to move forward or simply give up."

"There comes a time when every life goes off course. In this desperate moment who will you be? Will you let down your defenses, and find solace in someone unexpected? Will you reach out? Will you face your greatest fear bravely? And move forward with faith. Or will you succumb to the darkness in your soul?"

"Someone once said; 'It’s the good girls who keep diaries. The bad girls never have the time. Me… I just wanna live a life I’m gonna remember. Even if I don’t write it down."

"T.H. White said; perhaps we all give the best of our hearts uncritically…to those who hardly think about us in return."

And when you thought that no one knew what you were thinking, I saved you.
