Good Things Weren't Meant To Last | A Poem For Those Affected By The Notre Dame Cathedral

-
How can life be so peaceful
How can it be so bland
When in another world
It is crumbling in their hands

Something that could have been stopped
And even though we tried
That was work of another life.

Work that can't
Even if one sets their heart on it
Ever be remade
Or replaced

It held moments
And memories
Achievements
And times of grief

But good things were never meant to last
And sometimes
You have to accept that
Even if it breaks your heart

For good things aren't meant to last
You have to put it in the past
Regrow, relearn

Don't take it for granted
Even if you may
Please
Learn something new
And use it another day

For those of you affected by the Notre Dame Cathedral catching fire today, know that you are in our prayers. Don't give up hope.. and always look for the sliver-lining. Maybe its the fact that some of the precious art was saved, or that it isn't burnt to the ground. Keep your head up, even though there will be a gap in your heart that can't be filled, it will get better. #Paris #NotreDame #KeepYourHeadUp

The Secret Beach

-
Esmeralda runs out of her house, arms flying behind her, glad to be free from homework. Up the hill in her backyard, at the top, she comes to a stop. It's her secret place, a place no one else knew about. If they did, she would never be alone up here again. The reason why is because this place, at the top of her hill, was beautiful. A long, white beach went down maybe one hundred feet, or more, boulders at either side of the beach blocking anyone from seeing the magic beyond. Following the white sand comes a crystal clear ocean. The sun is warm and makes Esmeralda feel as though she is glowing. After picking out some flat rocks, and laying them on another, bigger rock, she runs down to the body of water, not bothering to take her shoes off because, well, she didn't have any on. Splashing and jumping in the warm waters, she soon got bored of it. As always when this happened, she ran to the beach again and quickly climbed to the top of the boulders. Most people wo...

8 Tips and Tricks for Seaworld Orlando

-
This week on Monday I got the chance to experience Seaworld Orlando for the first time, and it was awesome. However, I did learn several things, so I shall share them with you so your trip is not as crazy (in a bad way) as ours! Number One:  If you are going in the summer, and have two day or stay long tickets (which we did) I would suggest going to the Summer Nighttime Event, Electic Ocean, the night before your all day trip. The reason why is because you can get a little bit of understanding of the park before you have to hit the ground running the first day, and after a long day in the heat, you will not want to stay to see the fireworks (which are awesome) at 9:30. Trust me, this is what we did, and it totally took a lot of stress off our trip. Number Two: Seaworld, unlike some other parks, allows water bottles (one per person), snack-sized items (unless you have a dietary need, then you can bring what you need), and coolers under a certain inch limit. However, they do ask ...

Sitting in the back of class An outcast I reminisce about the days untold Truths and lies all in a fold For sitting here Playing with a strand of hair I realize that it's all there The good The bad The honestly sad The past two years have been a bless I wouldn't trade them for anything But now its time to say goodbye And end everything But no- That's not true- I'll still be there cheering for you Through the concerts Through the door I'll be there..
