Stand up

Your okay

You will be fine

This doesn't break you

This makes you

The way out

The way that needs to be taken

To keep on going

To survive

Beginning of the end

Or at least a new chapter

Stay strong

Stand your ground

Say what you have to say

Walk away

Its almost over

Just do it

Be brave

Stay strong

Stuck

Out of control stuck

Can't breathe

Can't think

Not strong enough

or

Mature enough

To figure it all out

To stand up

Against the ones loved

Emotional strained

Beaten

Confused

I just want to prove love is there

For them

Can't seem to do it right

Falling faster and faster to breaking

Wanting to be out

Wanting in

Wanting them to know that its not abandonment

It's a "break"

Its growing

Finding

Discovering

Family is forever

True and Real friends are forever

Never wanting to hurt anyone

But all it seems is thats what's happening

One day

It will just be

The next chapter

For Everyone

And Anyone

Everyone will have each other

Some may be alone

One in particular

All will move on

All should get figured out

Maybe

Can't hold back from reaching the next chapter of me

It's time to figure this shit out

Can't stay stuck

Can't stay feeling this way

Alright

So as I am now a few days into this photo/writing challenge, I must say I am having fun with it. It has really brought back my love for photography. Playing around and taking some "random" shots has been so much fun. And honestly (not to toot my own horn or anything) I have gotten some amazing pictures. I have impressed myself a little bit. I have some that really just make me flat out smile and giddy at how awesome they are. I'm really excited to continue, and see where it takes me. The writing aspect, well you know I have been on a writing kick lately anyways so that is just what it is. I do it everyday already, so yeah. 
If you want to check out the photos, all of them go up here (the full days worth, crappy ones and all) http://simplylifeasithappens.shutterfly.com/
Check it out if you want. Comment if you want.

Sunshine, a Smile, a Cup of Coffee.
Ahh yes the little things in life.

The things that bring the smiles to a face.
The things that make someone giggle and laugh.

Yeah those are the important things.
The things that we need to remember.

Remember the little things people care about.
Strive and live for the little things.

They are the things that keep us going, surviving, living.
The things that make our days a lighter brighter.

Not everything has to be huge, or extravagant .
But when you find delight in something, take it to heart.
Let it mean something.

The joy experienced is important.
Keeps us going, alive, real.

Feel it.
Live it.
Find the moments.
The things.

It's only sweet when we allow it.

Challenged

Alright

I'm doing it

You handed me a challenge

"Pick up your camera and shoot. 100 a day. No deleting until 100 has been taken. Capture a moment. Capture the world you see. The world you see with your photographers eye. Part two... write something everyday. Just write."

Yup this shall be interesting, enjoyable, yet a challenge.

Ready Set Go

Press on. Go for it.
I love this. I honestly think it is one of my best photos ever. Could be better, but yeah I like it.

Ok...
Thought/idea I got today.

What if I started doing my writing (the writing I do on paper) in crayon?
How cool would that be?
I think it would add something, and make it even smidge more me.
Ahh just a though, who knows. I will try it out and see how it goes, or use it on certain things, or yeah.

Creativity... sometimes it works in my world sometimes not.
We shall see :)

Starts with a flame

A flame of:

Joy
Peace
Love 
Fears
Hurts
Doubts
Wonder
Curiosity 
Truth
Honesty
Hope
Faith
 

Something so small, can start something huge.
Change a persons life.
Change the way we see someone or something.

It has potential to start something amazing.
Or something disastrous.

When those flames in your heart or mind start to burn.

If its positive...
Embrace it
Live it
Let a wildfire start in you. 

If its negative...
Find a way to blow it out
Find the thing that over rides it

We are destined for great things. 
God has a purpose for each and everyone of us.
We need to find and embrace the things that God places in our lives. 
Cause you never know when you will find a flame that sets your life on fire.



  Open up

Tell all

Find that person

Give them your life

Your heart

Your soul

Never shut them out


  Be cautious though

Sometimes someone isn't always in a place themselves to have you bare all

Sometimes reaching for someone will hurt

Reaching for the wrong person

Can hurt you

And that person.


   Never give up on yourself

Or others

This thing called life

Is a roller coaster

Its a ride

Take it

As is

Embrace the good

Push through the hard


   It never stays the same

Unless you choose to keep it the same.
