Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I've officially been living in NYC for a couple months now. Most people can tell right off the bat that I'm not a New Yorker. A lot of people know that I was born in California because I apparently have that "look and personality." People are surprised when I tell them I grew up in Delaware.

 A part of me really misses the slow pace of Delaware. I miss the calm. The quiet. The fresh air. All things I took for granted at the time.

I remember driving to school at 7 AM, and watching the sunrise. The beautiful colors that God painted the sky with. It reminded me that there was something more to this world. Something beautiful, beyond comprehension.

Living in the fast paced city has gotten me frustrated plenty of times. Sometimes I cannot fathom how cruel and mean some people can be on this Earth. But I am always humbled and reminded of all the good that is in this world.

I just hope I can make a difference in someone's life in a positive way. No matter how little the interaction... whether that be through a smile or a friendly hello.
I have my flaws. I get upset sometimes. I've gotten hurt and wanted that person to feel how I felt. But I know that's not right.

I just hope that I will continue to grow and learn. To continue to love with all my heart and not become some jaded girl.

I'd rather feel a lot of pain then to just go through the motions of life.

I know that all my experiences will only make me stronger and wiser.

I don't know what the point of this post was... I just wanted to write. I miss it. I haven't written my thoughts down in a long time.

I just want to love. And be loved in return. And have real relationships where we can cry, laugh, and act silly together. To actually Live together. To get through things.... together.
