If You Were Still Here

We've all lost someone we love, and maybe this helps describe how we feel when we think about them still being here.

If You Were Still Here

If you were here, my life would be different.

If you were here, I could sing your favorite songs.

If you were here, my life decisions wouldn't take so long.

If you were here, maybe I wouldn't take anything for granted.

If you were here, you could braid my hair and we'd pretend it was enchanted.

If you were here, I would sit on your lap while you read my favorite book.

If you were here, I'd give you one more look.

If you were here, I would tell you how much I miss you.

If you were here, I would say, "I love you too".

If you were here, I would ask you for advice.

If you were here, maybe my heart wouldn't feel so tight.

If you were here, our lives would be so different.

If you were here, the memories would be even more significant.

If you were here, I would cherish the moment.

If you were here, there would be so many words spoken.

If you were here, I wouldn't have to miss you.

But since you aren't here, I promise I'll always remember too.

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.
