Of all the hearts and souls and lives in all the people in all the world, he chose mine.
He changes me. He makes me beautiful. He makes me ugly. But above all, he makes me who I am---and I thank him for it.
I am in love.
I am sorry.

Love Is
Love is standing by your partner's side without being asked to. Love is when he cuts his finger carving a pumpkin and you rush his to the E.R. Love is when you have pneumonia and he waits with you for 7 hours while you are in the hospital waiting to be treated. Love is taking care of your other half when he drinks too much and needs a ride home. Then, he vomits all over himself and passes out and you take him to bed and wipe of his face with a soapy cloth and change his clothes without him knowing. Love is when he has the stomach virus and you wake up over and over to go to the store to get him medication at 4am. and then at 7. and then at 8:30.
Love is knowing when to stop. Love is understanding that sometimes, its ok to be alone. Love is staying away from drama. Love is to understand. Love is knowing that trust is the biggest part of a relationship and that communication is its strongest foundation. The floors are the past, the walls are the present, and the roof is that attainable, however difficult future that points to the heavens as if saying, "Love is life."

Groundhog
I am sure most people are familiar with the movie "Groundhog Day", where Tom Hanks wakes up day after day to the same date, February 2nd.
This was my idea for my 'sophomore' blog. All to often, people get into a habit. Things become habitual and there is no excitement. Routine. I know that for myself, I have at times been known to do things that I normally wouldn't do just because I became accustomed to a situation or a person.
It is times like these in which people need to step back and realize how their life has blessed them. Life is such a precious commodity that so few fulfill. And all to often, lives are cut short or are damaged at a moment when no sees it coming.
I have been so blessed in my life. I have an amazing family who supports me, provides for me, and makes sacrifices for my well-being and my comfort. I have incredible friends who surrond me and make my life ridiculously fun. I have been blessed with talent and ability and I go to a good school, majoring in a program that is very difficult to be accepted into. I have a boyfriend who takes my life from day to day to something extraordinary and awe-inspiring. He takes me to heights I never knew I would reach. He has shown me every side of him, opening up like no one else has. And in doing so, I have learned so much about myself.
These winter days make it difficult to think like that. Sometimes its easier to be crabby and insensitive. Its how you appreciate things and people that make you a good person. Don't let things become so routine that they bore you and you don't care about being insensitive. Be in tune. Be connected. Be synchronized.

Time
There is not enough time on the clock to explain how little time there is.
Time is a universal hazard; a personal, controlled chaos
Time goes by so slowly for those who wait.
I don't wait for time--
And time doesn't wait for me
Time will run out---whether in one month or six
Four and a half more years
Forever
Years can separate beings, or bring them together.
Maturity is a virture
And time, it is a universal hazard; a personal, controlled chaos
One month or six
Waiting to cry, waiting to breath, waiting to exhale
Four and a half years
Wait.
