My Life in Song Titles

Life goes by and memorable moments are remembered. But my life has a beautiful rhythm. It has its upticks and downticks. Every good memory (and the bad ones), there’s always something there to remind me of it. When I need to give myself inspiration to keep doing what I’m doing, to stay positive and remind myself that I can do better, I keep telling myself that I’m a Rocket (The Wanted), reaching for the sky (or stars).
I’ve had good memories with friends, with family. My favorites are always when my friends and I have a great time, When We Own the Night (The Wanted) together, we’re Counting Stars (OneRebuplic). It’s always been a blast. All the god times will forever be remembered. They made us stronger. Each memory will be a Photograph (Nickelback) in my head. I’ll always look back on them with a smile. The reason we had a good time would always be Because We Can (Bon Jovi). We’re Radioactive (Imagine Dragons). I’m Never Gonna Be Alone (Nickelback) because of them.
But now that September (Daughtry) has passed, I’ve realized that it’s the first full summer I’ve made it through away from home. And that can be added to one of the many great memories I have. Because, if I hadn’t, I wouldn’t have grown as a person.
Whenever I’d hit a rough patch, I always had someone to talk to, who’d get me through These Hard Times (Matchbox 20), whether it’s family or it’s a good friend. I look at my problems I thought were difficult and realize that I’m Alright (Jo Dee Messina) because I have a great support system, what with everything that’s going on. I’ve made friends for life. It’s always because someone said “I’ll Be Your Strength” (The Wanted) to me that I’ve gotten through it; my close friends always managed to give me strength to make it through whatever it was I thought I couldn’t do. Now, I fight, I’m The Fighter (Gym Class Heroes ft. Ryan Tedder), giving my problems a run for their money.
Every day, It’s Time (Imagine Dragons) to make new memories, to write another story in a book called life. I won’t be Waiting for Superman (Daughtry) to pick me up and have a great new day in life. It’s another chance to face my Demons (Imagine Dragons) and Carry On (Fun.). It’s getting into the Hall of Fame (The Script ft. will.i.am) of life or Viva la Vida (Coldplay) for me. I Glow In The Dark (The Wanted). No Cradlesong (Rob Thomas) for me; I’m not willing to run to Hollywood.

today's sunset!!!

the sun is at a slant, clouds just below it. there is an orange glow on the horizon as the sun sinks behind the clouds, hundreds of shafts of light, yellow and orange, peak from behind the clouds. the ball shines from a gap, the shaft of light just for me. i lift my face to it, watching the strong, powerful waves race toward the shore, crashing on each other and the beach. the closer to the horizon, the deeper the orange color. clouds are most thick 'round the sun, more flanking them, thinning out to the south and north - to the left and right, respectively. the sun has disappeared behind the clouds now, but shafts of rays shine through, dying the clouds golden yellow, the farthest reaching ones the brightest yellow and golden. just south, the sun colors the sky a pink-orange color. as i watch the sky change colors, a cool breeze makes me shiver. the waves continue to crash toward the shore. the sand shifts under me as i move, taking in the scene. the golden rays are gone n

Choices

The soft sand is warm under my bare feet. The sun is on my shoulders, heating my already brown skin. A breeze, cool and teasing, rolls off the ocean, filling my nose with the smell of salt and brine. I make my way close to the water line, trying not to burn my feet. My hair is getting tousled in the breeze. I finally find a spot and shake out my towel, laying it down. I sigh as I get my feet off the sand. I relax, gazing over my shoulder towards the mountains. They’re purple against the azure blue sky, the tops hidden behind white, puffy, cotton candy clouds. Sighing again, I pull my knees up to my chest and gaze out over the ocean. It’s a darker version of the sky, clear and blue. Except for the waves. They crash against the beach in a steady rhythm, calming. Another breeze comes off the ocean, pulling at my hair and cooling my sweaty skin. The sun isn’t all that brutal today, but it’s still fairly warm. Kids are running around, covered in sand or dripping with ocean water. Their l
