Falling
So, a month and 2 days ago, I met this girl. Her name is Maren, and she is the most beautiful, most amazing thing in all of existence. I’ve never experienced really falling in love before, but that’s what we have. I didnt understand why it was called “falling” before, but now think I do. Its exhilarating, thrilling, and a little scary. It’s all so new and she is...
Look! It's Maren!: Young Love →
lookitsmaren:
I never thought that I would ever find someone. High school was crap. I always felt like the third wheel with my closest friends. I always felt so alone. I was told that having a boyfriend wasn’t all that it’s cracked up to be. The only problem was, I was being told this by all of my friends who…
My girlfriend is the most amazing ever
A song. I hope you'll read this

Star light, Star bright
.
The light above is fading slowly
the sun is setting over our hearts.
I can’t believe this floating feeling,
Is this how my first love starts?
.
Well I never imagined a moment
that could make me feel this way.
Electricity moving through my veins
girl, I wish you could stay
.
Your eyes are like drops of the moonlight
Your smile like the stars in the...

Life changes too fast
I don’t have many followers, but I don’t write for others, I write for me.
I just need to write down how I feel, because my mom, the woman who has given me my strength in life, is dying. The doctor’s have said that she maybe only has a week left, and I don’t know how I feel. I am numb right now, and I just want to wake up. I can’t believe this is real. My heart...

Beauty
So, people are always talking about beauty, especially in our culture, and I feel like it gets over used in some areas, and way underused in others. For example, many beautiful girls don’t feel that they are beautiful, because they don’t fit in to some idea of beauty that our culture has created, and which, if you ask me, is neither beautiful nor even attractive. In fact, sometimes it...

The Beauty of the Earth
Looking out at hills of clouds
and I could see for miles,
though sunset’s glow was all around,
it couldn’t match her smile.
.
I looked across the stormy sea
for beauty that I seek,
but even that could not compare
to she of whom I speak.
.
I searched atop the mountains high
to match her glowing grace,
but majesty of earth and sky
was nothing to her face.
.
I strolled unto...

“The greatest thing you’ll ever learn
is just to love, and be loved in return.”
-Moulin Rouge
A first kiss. Often such a momentous memory in our lives. Young people on the television and in movies dream for their first kiss, and, when they find it, they experience a bliss that is enlightening. And yet, for me, one given so easily to romantic tendencies, one who believes that love is the most...

On Stories
I love stories. They give us a chance to… to look into another soul. To see that we just might not be alone in the world. Not alone in our struggles, not alone in our dreams, … not in our hopes, or our fears. Our joys, our tears. Our lives. A story gives us a window to see through the eyes in another. The thing about stories, though, well, they must end. You get just a window, into...

New School Year
So, it’s a new school year.
I don’t even know if anybody reads this, but I like writing, so here goes nothing.
So my life has been pretty insane recently. Mom is going through radiation treatment for cancer, and that’s been going well, so that is quite a blessing. I’ve been a bit down recently, but not too bad. My brain is wired for relationships, so being single sucks,...

These Walls
I’m sorry that you can’t tell me that this gift of my heart means anything to you. I wish you could. I wish it did. The things inside this heart, the emotions and worries and fears and even the pain, have been laid out for you to see, amid the ruins of these walls of flesh and fear that I hid behind for so long. I had hoped that you would take these things I’ve given, and hold...

View from a Sidewalk
So, I’ve been writing songs for a little while now, but they haven’t been very good. This is probably one of my favorite ones that I’ve written, at least in terms of me still liking it after its finished.
