Festival of Colors

About a week ago I went to the Festival of Colors for the very first time. And I had such a great time! I went with my cousin Robert and his 2 friends Ammon & Cassie and the whole experience was just amazing! As we were driving, although there was a lot of traffic on the way there, you could tell who was traveling back from Color Fest by the chalk covering their faces.

And as for the people getting there, well they were just about excited as we were. I loved how open and friendly everyone seemed. They would smile or even wave as they passed you, making you appriciate the welcome-ness vibe. When it came down to it, they were all there for the same exact thing, the color throwing that would occur every 2 hours.

People from all around travel to come to this magical event. You find yourself interacting with other people; countless times I would have people I had never met throwing chalk at me. And getting into the spirit of it, I also threw colors at random people. Most of the time they would smile and laugh, or even say 'Thank you'. I loved every minute of it and would consider this one of those memories you hold on to for a lifetime. I am looking forward to going again next year :)

My Insperations

Friends are amazing, especially best friends, They're always there for you when you need them, they see you through your worst sides, and they still love you.

The first picture I have is a TV Show called "Friends" and I absolutely love this show! Although these 5 people are completely different, they all come together and have a friendship that is so strong. They would do anything for each other, no matter how much they don't get along. This show also reminds me of a couple of my closest friends that have been through so much with me. Although I have so many amazing friends, these couple of friends have always put up with me, and I know that they would be there whenever I need them...they inspire me.

Just to name a few of them:

Maddy Stone

Adrian Hallberg

Nick Yarro

Gene Hiatt

Rachel Greenwood and so many more.

Some of them I have known for a long time, others not as long, but overall they are always there when I need them. I could never forget the amazing memories I've had with each of them.

My best friends, by far, are the people I look up to. From the laughing, to the hard times, they have your back.

No friendship is perfect, but true friendship means never giving up on them, no matter what. Knowing that what you have is too important to throw away. So this post is dedicated to my best friends, I will always love them :)

Take A Chance

So, I liked this boy, and sure enough it was one of my best friends. Yeah, cliche ;) I'm not sure how long I liked him, or how much. I guess it was easier liking him, because I could be myself around him. And I guess you could say it was harder too, because you know that risking that friendship isn't worth finally being more than friends.
But another thing with liking your best friend, is you notice all the little things people don't notice. All the things they do that show you that your friendship means a lot to them and all the little mixed signs they give you. I guess that's why it's so hard getting over them. They may constantly be sending mixed signals, but maybe girls do too. But the difference is boys don't give it as much thought as girls do...
Every girl has a hard time understanding guys. Sometimes boys can be the cause of your tears, your songs, your stories, but at the end of the day, the best thing you can do is be you, and if that isn't enough for a guy, then he isn't worth your time.
Although I spent a lot of the time confused about my feelings, I also know that we should never regret a single decision we've made. Everything is a learning experience, and if it didn't work out, then that means there's someone out there for you who can make it work.

The Whispers of Our Memories


Your memories are everything
When the time comes I hope you'll see
My stories will always be
The whispers of our memories


Everything you've said I'd never doubt
All those thoughts you never shared
Wishing for you to let them out


Would you have told me how you felt?
Never doubting those memories that made you smile
Those perfect moments when you realize its all worth while
All the tears that I let fall


Are forgotten when I think of the person I know is you.
And that person you are around me,
Is the you I know to be true.

Holding On To Memories

High schools coming and now more than ever I realize how different everything will be. It wasn't until this year until I realized how much people can change. As we start to grow up and separate into different high schools, it dawned on me that they aren't the only ones who have changed. Its only when you realized some people have changed for the worst, when you appreciate how they were. When you spend every moment looking at them, remembering how things used to be, but knowing they could never be like that again. Someone once told me,

 "People come into your life for a purpose. Some people will be apart of your life for a while, while other people only make an appearance. When someone is no longer in your life, it is simply because you've learned what you can from that relationship." So remember those memories, and hold on to them.  Because I guarantee you at one point, you've changed their life just as much as they've changed yours.

Change:

I turn around to walk away
Wishing you'd ask me to stay
I care too much to let you go
Thinking there's things I'll never know

That for as long as your around

My life will be like a gentle sound
I hope that as time comes to be
You will always remember me

And while I think of all I put you through

I know I must have meant something to you
So I'll hold on to those memories

As the wind blows through the trees

I look at the black-road floor
And wait for the day I will see you once more.
