Ice Cold

She wishes she would melt into the floor, but instead her naked body lay there, burning against the ice cold marble floor.
Repeatedly shoving and shouting profanities, fueled by rage and adrenaline, he gets emotionally beaten by the father, dignity stripped from his chest, pants slung low across his waste and a heart opened to the wrath of hate like a closet door. Now standing numbed, quiet and confused by shock.
She brought him here and swore to keep him safe, yet he’s never been so exposed to his morals. Now she’ll be spending her days proving to him she’s worth the fearful tears because she’s more than just another face.
You pathological liar, once again unable to take the blame, pointing fingers at everything but the promiscuous thoughts racing through minds of her once loved ones.
This is the the new testament of your typical Romeo & Juliet Story.

Good Morning!

It is actually morning somewhere in the world right now, so; Good Morning! Hello my two followers (give or take a little) As a loyal blogger, I wanted to inform you about my transfer onto a better, easier-to-use host for my blog. ->    http://reclaimourearth.tumblr.com/

Look me up!  
Have a wonderful day.

A masked ordeal

The reoccurring dream, once filled with endless thoughts of wondrous, new possibilities fueling blissful images dancing in my head, has now become a nightmare where happiness is the path leading towards total darkness. Lonely nights spent with my heart torn into pieces, beating on a vast latitude of dissonance, separated between oceans and time zones.

The journey'll be rocky and tedious, but the water will dry up and the path towards light will be steady once again, a victorious gift the rest of your life will be.

Before i die.

Time is not our own;

So, I'm guessing it's about time for some new years resolutions! Okay…here I go:

Uuuuuuuuhh, eh..
My oh my, this is much harder than i thought.
I'm not saying there aren't things about me that need improvement, but those flaws are kinda what make me who I am, I don't think they are so bad that I need to change them. Nevertheless, I can always do things that make my life all that better. So i guess, here are a few points that I can focus on this year.

∆ Painting my nails more often would be a good one. And to avoid conflict with my dad, i'll make sure i don't go outside the 'lines', he hates when it looks messy.

∆ Try not to worry so much, or maybe..no that might be a good thing, because the worrying boosts productivity in some areas..like school and the amount of wrinkles i'll acquire by the age of 30.

∆ Take care of myself more. As in, get more sleep, stop using body lotion on my face..i heard its not very good for you. Taking care of my skin more, less harsh chemicals on it and, well, i guess painting my nails goes under that as well.

Oh! And moisturize my elbow and legs, strange i know, but I'm terrible at that.

∆ Get a job once i move to the states and start saving up for a car, but to do this, i'll have to manage my time between socializing, school and well, now work a lot better than i've been doing recently.

∆ Keep in touch with people more than i do now. You never know who might be the people who could have been there for you if you ever needed them until you realize you're left all alone, laying in your bed in the fetal position trying to comfort yourself by flipping through old photos of past memories.

∆ Make people feel better about themselves, give someone a compliment once in a while, i know i love getting them, well most of the time I do. It's the easiest way to spread happiness and it's so darn simple.

∆ Continue doing the things that bring joy to my life like 

- Dancing 

- Being apart of sports teams like volleyball.

- Surrounding myself with friends.

- Keeping fit (Eating healthy/exercising) 

-Listening to country music, if you don't like it, buy some ear plugs.

- & Of course singing..despite me sounding like a dying cat, it's fun and it makes me happy, so why not?

∆ Last, but certainly not least, take a minute to enjoy the present and to stop looking forward to the future all the time.

A little too late, and a bit too early?

Merry (late) Christmas to all those who celebrate! 

AND of course, a very happy new year (in 5.4 hours, that is)!

May the new year bathe you in amazing opportunities, 

happiness, and for some people, a clean slate.

Feliz Navidad!

God Jul! Or in English, Merry Christmas! The Samuelsberg's have been here for 4 days, all leading up to this very night. Presents over flowing from under the tree, and good spirits all around. Laughter, good food and company has created a joyous atmosphere of celebration and happiness.
Albeit there being no snow, the air condition makes up for the cold northern winds, and the ice cold marble floors add that tingle in the toes.

I honestly can't believe it's already Christmas and in a  few days the new year will approach us and there will be a whole new set of 365 days to make a difference. Do something extraordinary and create an impact, big or small, negative or positive. 
Cherish the opportunities that arise before you and use them in your best interest to do good.

Have a great Christmas eve, remember, this is the time of giving, not receiving, so stop eying those parcels under the tree.

Smile

Cheeks brushing, smiles spreading, eyes glimmering, fingers interlinking.

The sun is on our side, but time is not. 55 minutes can easily be mistaken as 5. 

Hate can easily be the mask of love. 

New found knowledge once beautifully untouched, is now embraced by the utmost care, 

not near ready enough to give it up for the world to see. 

Your mine, at least for the moment being.

Exposed to the Naked Light

The curious eyes that wander upon what was once a well kept secret hidden right in the public eye. 

The genuine written words formerly spoken have now caused demoralization. 

What a pity.

Last day

My last day in Cape Town, i've got to admit, i've been pretty shit at posting picture updates, but this was due to the lack of photo's taken during the trip, everything that i took seemed repetitive, so i didn't bother to take any more after a while, but i'll put in a few nice one's that i liked.

I love South Africa. This was my second visit here and it definitely wasn't a let down. The people are wonderful, the country is gorgeous, and there is much to do, you definitely wont get bored of this lively place.

However, as much as i enjoyed my vacation here, i'm quite excited to get back to 'home'. I've missed some certain individuals. I just dread the long 10 hour airplane ride, but you gotta do what you gotta do.

Oh, and i just finished a book that i've been reading nonstop this whole vacation. 'Not Without My Daughter', definitely the best book i've ever read, so touching. Truly compelling, a favorite indeed. I highly recommend it!
