Throw in the intensity of emotions that come with that bittersweet summer sandwiched between high school graduation and the rest of your life.

I remember that my mother once told me that the opposite of love isn't hate, it's indifference.

I think that we have to consciously be aware that every moment we're in, every different stage in our lives, we can control.

Hush little baby, Dont you cry, Dont cut your arms, Dont say goodbye. Put down that razor, Put down that light, It maybe hard but, You'll win this fight.

i wish i could freeze this moment, somehow delay my final decision, and just hang here in the balance between two places, two worlds, two loves.

What appeals to you the most is the very thing that will drive you crazy

Yet here we are, two children and a broken promise later, standing before each other, just the way we stood that day at the alter, with equal parts love and hope. And once again, I close my eyes, ready to take a leap of faith, ready for the long, hard road ahead. I have no idea how it's going to turn out, but then again, I never really did.
