| All of my favorite stories are love stories. All my favorite songs are about love. All of my favorite memories are with the people I love... | | |
| All this livin's so much harder than it seems
but girl, don't let your dreams be dreams
You know this livin's not so hard as it seems
Don't let your dreams be dreams
Your dreams be dreams
I have so many things that I want to do, and who knows if I'll ever get to do them. But I do know this, if I don't try to fulfill those dreams, I will never be satisfied. If I give up, I will always wonder what would have happened. So I'll keep trying, and I might die trying, but I might just find that my dreams will become reality.

| Why do you build me up, Buttercup,
Baby, just to let me down
Then mess me around? It's been a long time since I last blogged on here, but I'm trying to get back into the habit and not forget about my different blogs. Currently, I have three blogs including this one... I think, there might be more, but I only post to my blog on blogspot and my wordpress blog (which is a secret blog... I write under an alias, and I will never confess that it is mine). A lot has happened since the summer of 2009. That summer, I started dating. Then in the fall, I had a Jewish boyfriend. I graduated from AMDA- The American Musical and Dramatic Academy in October. I got my first professional and paid acting job on a national tour at the end of Thanksgiving (which I am currently still employed in). I began the tour in January 2010. I broke up with the Jewish boyfriend on Valentine's day and experienced my first real heartbreak. I turned 26 three days ago and on that day I decided to ex-communicate the Jewish boyfriend... AND at this very moment, I am sitting at AMDA blogging and looking back on life and wondering if I've made too many mistakes or if it was just a scenic route. I know what some of you may be thinking: why the Jewish boyfriend? Well, that is currently what I am thinking about. I loved him. I really loved him. And I still do. Which is why I am ex-communicating him. He is not the one for me. I am not the one for him. Even after we broke up, he called me almost every day, and of course, I would answer his calls... and it really messed me up good. Can I be honest here? I don't feel guilt for my past actions. I do regret some of the things I allowed in my life, but I do not feel condemned by them, nor would I change what has happened. I used to always try to replay the things in my life and try to come up with an alternate ending, but you know what? I cannot live in the past or the future. I must live in the present, and yes, I will keep in mind that the things I do today will affect my future, but I will try to live my life with the fear of the Lord in me, but to the very fullest. How do I love to the fullest without awakening love? Father God,
Give me the wisdom when it comes to boys and men and relationships and matters of the heart! Don't let any buttercups build me up just to let me down or mess me around! I am through with hurting! Heal me!!!!! Love,
