Young Love

I remeber being that full of life little brown haired girl who loved to be around the guys if it was playing tag or just rolling around in the mud. I never really fit in with the girls to them I was different, i was to loud or crazy for them, but I knew i was just being myself. I was never the type of girl to chase after the boys because i thought they were cute, I would chase them because I knew I was stronger and faster and they knew that too. I would always love to challenge the boys to an arm wrestling contest or to have a race to see who could run the fastest, it wasen't a big surprise to them that i always won. I remeber the first time I layed eyes on the new kid named Kyle i thought it was love at first sight we connected so fast and insantly i thought we were meant to be. I wanted us to have that fairytale story where he was my prince and i was his princess but i soon realized we were much more then that we were best friends in love. we were together every hour of the day if i wasen't at his house he would be at mine, and even at the busiest of times we made time to talk for hours on the phone. He was the first person i through a race for in other words I let him win but he was worth doing anything for, I lost my fast girl reputation but he soon relaized what I did was for him. I gave him my heart, my trust and my everything. As the years passed he found other friends and left me in the dust because i never put the ime of day to think what if i lost him , what would i do then...? so now as we are older we realize the things we've done, the people we've lost, but we never forget the people we love. we still have that connection because it could never be lost throughtout the so many years we've spent together, and because those little things we did created us to who we are and who we will become. i found out love may never have its fairytale endings but that true love never dies!

I wrote this to tell a story about a guy who changed my life. We still are bestfriends in love, because we still spend time together no matter how busy we are in are whole hockey world. but I realize its not the things people do that hurt you but how you react in the end, he may have left me in the dust, but he made it up to me by remebering me when i needed a hand or he did. I also wanted to tell this story because i wanted to prove to people, people do drift apart and you can slowly lose someone you love but its never to late to hold on again. this was a fun story to tell because it reminded me of who i was as a kid and how I loved to just be myself, I've tried so hard to change who i want to become, but I slowly have to realize i should love who I am because thats when people love who you are!

and for you Reid I wanted to say i'm not in a hurry to figure out my life so quickly because thats also the whole fun part of life searching for those missing pieces :)  I will naturlly love who I will become. I will dream on but I can't imagine they'll all come true, because only fools are satisfied :P

Stormy

Not once have i ever said i hate rain, even if it ruined plans, stopped a picnic, or just going to the playground to fool around. the way it hits your windown pain, the amazing feeling as it rushes down your face, or just the way it dances as it hits the ground. The way you can look up and see a million raindrops coming down. You can see the beautiful flashes of lightning and hear the huge bang of the thunder, you just stand there at the window as you count how long it takes for the second flash of light to come or skipping a heartbeat listening to the thunder shake you from under your feet, everyone talks about dancing in the rain but no one truly does it, as I'm outside enjoying the whole experience of the peaceful silence, and finally letting all my thoughts run through my mind and singing my heart out because no one truly cares to listen, I look out at the street full of cars because people are to busy with thier lives to remember those little moments that make a lifetime worth living. As you sit there in your house warm and dry, I'll be outside letting my imagination explore and my heart flow and everything in between, have fun for that little moment, I'll let my hair down as it's soaking wet, let my makeup run down my cheeks and becoming so heavy i can barley move. I'll be in my flip flops and my blue shorts and that same old ripped up sweater from all the other times i decided to jump into deep puddles and becoming muddy because nothing else mattered at that moment. As you enjoy your life the way you want through a window, I will enjoy mine through those hard, though storms!

ok .. so I'm 14 i dont have much experience as others do, writing and and listening carefully to what people have to say. I've always tried to live my life the way i want others to see me as, and I'm the type of girl who loves to share my experiences and let people know I'm still a kid and want to have fun just like everyone else, I may think to much, lean on people, and take people for granted. but, i know for those special people i care about i could never stand to let them go, or ever let them change for that matter. Lately I've been trying so hard to figure out who and who i want to become as a women and as a person inside, but I know i just have to live in the moment and let the rest do it itself because as they say eveything happens for a reason..right? I love to write, draw, sing and dance and be a teenager i love to do the things that make me happy and to not worry about what others think about me, i know for a fact that caring what other people think is a hard thing to do because now a days you get judged on everything from how you look to how you dress, but im the tomboy type as people love to call me I've had a million guy friends and not to many girlfriends, but i play guys hockey and im a defence it all makes sense in the end.

so.. with this I would love to hear what everyone has to say about my writing because i love to hear the negatives and the positives of my writing so i can become better at what i love to do, anyways thanks for listening and learning a little bit about me.
