I'll sing it one last time for you
Then we really have to go
You've been the only thing that's right
In all I've done
And I can barely look at you
But every single time I do
I know we'll make it anywhere
Away from here
Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear
Louder louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say
To think I might not see those eyes
Makes it so hard not to cry
And as we say our long goodbye
I nearly do
Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear
Louder louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say
Slower slower
We don't have time for that
All I want is to find an easier way
To get out of our little heads
Have heart my dear
We're bound to be afraid
Even if it's just for a few days
Making up for all this mess
Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear

I live in Wisconsin, in the big town/little city of Eau Claire which is getting bigger every day. It scares me to think that even the simplicity of where I live is changing, not only my life in general.
I have lived here for 13 years and I am screaming to get out – though where this “out” is, I’m not quite sure, but hopefully I will find it sooner rather than later. This summer, I’ll be working at Yellowstone National Park with my best friend, Rachel – we’ll be cleaning rooms and stuff, but I’m thinking it’ll help clear my head and show me (or at least direct me) as to where I might want to go.
Right now, I'm going to Stout University as an undeclared student, and I am completely clueless as to where I am going in life. I have successfully picked up – and dropped – three majors within the past semester and a half, all within less than a day or two after filling out the paperwork. Nothing settles right in my stomach except for photography, so of course I only get accepted by a school that doesn’t have that major.
I'm hoping, eventually, to hold myself up on my own two feet... but things aren't turning in that direction quite yet. I'm fighting a battle that I'm hoping I wont lose myself in. My head has a tendency to run away with my daydreams, leaving me behind with a reality I really don’t want to face. Right now, I kind-of want to be at point B, skipping all of point A, but I suppose that means that life really wasn’t lived to the fullest if I were to do that…
my life goals are: to find a career I'm actually passionate about, to marry the love of my life, and to eventually have a family, and a stable home. If this happens, I’m sure I can call myself blessed.
My wants in life are a little different... I want to travel, to get out, and never settle until I know I can handle routine. I already know of places where I want to go and live – not for long periods of time, but just for a couple years or so in order to get a feel of what I really want. To suddenly be trapped in a world of routine when I haven’t even seen what’s out there is probably the biggest fear I have in life.
I have a dreamy idea of wanting to write my own music and my own books - I want to use photography as a window into a person's soul.
I want to lay under the stars until the sun comes up, then bask in it until the moon comes back. I want to drive for hours and end up absolutely nowhere...
Who I am collides with who I want to be... but I'm hoping to change it all...
My boyfriend Andy, is currently serving in Iraq. It has been a struggle through the years we have been together, but through ups and downs, we're finding where we fit and belong when it comes to each other. I’m not sure what’s in store for us in the future, but I can only pray that it turns out the way my heart wants it to. I can not even find the words to say how proud I am of him and what he's doing, what he's working for. I love you so much Andy! Come home safe!
I have friends that completely amaze me. They are supportive, and harsh when they need to be. They open their doors before I even knock, and don't even bother knocking when they come over. I can drive for hours to find myself in a room prepared for me to stay in on a last minute notice. I couldn't ask God for better friends than the ones I have beside me.
No matter what, Rach, I'm not gonna forget the awesome times we've spent together- you have been there for me through everything. It doesn't matter where I'm going to end up or where I'm headed, I know you're going to be behind me every step of the way :)
I believe that in life, everyone deserves a chance... and that is one of my major weaknesses. I never throw a chance away. I forgive easily. After all I’ve been through in life – though I haven’t lived much up to this point – you’d think that I’d be cold hearted and weary of people making mistakes. For some reason, I’m the opposite and people still find a way to trample all over me.
I hate the cold, but winter is beautiful... it's one of the things that makes me want to keep living here, and still makes me want to leave.
You can usually find me awake at any time of night... I can never sleep. I think too much when the rest of my world goes quiet.
I still wish on stars and believe there's a possibility of truth, no matter how naive that may be.
Poetry is my way of escaping,
reading is my past time,
singing is my outlet.
I'm not hard to get along with... actually, I think I might be too nice of a person...guess that's for you to decide.
I'm fairly quiet, but talk a lot - so that cancels everything out.
I love going on walks, just not alone. You can learn a lot about a person by walking beside them like you wouldn't believe.
I can be down right embarrassing at times... be prepared..
Currently I am trying to figure out how to make some mountains into mole hills. Within a few months, my whole life may change. Hopefully I’ll make the right decisions.
I am not going to lie to you and pretend to be someone I'm not, so I expect you to do the same. The biggest pet peeve of mine is when people pretend to live a life just to impress others. If you’re not yourself, if you’re not who you truly want to be, then you are wasting the only life you will ever have to live.
"One can live at a low flame. Most people do. For some, life is an exercise in moderation (best china saved for special occasions), but given something like death, what does it matter if one looks foolish now and then, or tries too hard, or cares too deeply?" -Diane Ackerman
There are days that just roll over with clouds
and then there are days the clouds disappear.

So was I once myself a swinger of birches
and so I dream of going back to be
It's when I'm weary of considerations
and life is too much like a pathless wood
where your face burns and tickles with the cobwebs
broken across it, and one eye is weeping
from a twig's having lashed across it open.
I'd like to get away from earth awhile
and then come back to it and begin over
May no fate willfully misunderstand me
and half grant what I wish and snatch me away
never to return. Earth's the right place for love;
I don't know where it's likely to go better.
I'd like to go by climbing a birch tree,
and climb black branches up a snow-white trunk
toward heaven, till the tree could bear no more
but dipped its top and set me down again.
that would be good, both going and coming back.
One could do worse than be a swinger of birches.
-Robert Frost
What if you slept?
And what if when you slept you dreamed?
And what if, you your dream, you went to heaven and there plucked a strange and beautiful flower?
And what if, when you woke, you had the flower in your hand?
Ah! What then?
- Samuel Taylor Coleridge
as we grow up, we learn that the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let us down, probably will. you will have your heart broken probably more than once, and it's harder every time. you'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. you'll fight with your best friend...and maybe even fall in love with them. you'll blame a new love for the things an old one did. you'll cry because the time is passing so fast, and you'll eventually lose what you once had. so take too many pictures, laugh too hard, and love like you've never been hurt, because every minute you spend mad or upset is one minute of happiness that you'll never get back...
