I've come to realize, that over time since my past, I am weaker. I am no longer the strong girl I was proud to be. Because I was strong because I was alone. I had no one to depend on, no one to turn to. Though it was lonely, I built up my walls. The walls that I would find refuge hiding behind. Now those walls are almost gone...I miss them. They came down before I was ready and now I'm vulnerable, more so than I ever wished to be.
I fall, and it's a whole new way since before. Because I land differently every time, but at the same time they are all the same.

“I've been making a list of the things they don't teach you at school. They don't teach you how to love somebody. They don't teach you how to be famous. They don't teach you how to be rich or how to be poor. They don't teach you how to walk away from someone you don't love any longer. They don't teach you how to know what's going on in someone else's mind. They don't teach you what to say to someone who's dying. They don't teach you anything worth knowing.” - Neil Gaiman

They don't teach you what love feels like, because there is no "set" way to love, or what it feels like. Love is more than what can be put into words. It is everything. It is the smile on your face, the light in your eyes. It's the silent glances stolen from across the room. It's holding hands in the hallway. It's laughing at the simplest of things. It's being a fool, but a happy fool, that of which we can be together and not having to look away.
Love is you. Love is this. This is love. Love life.

I should probably say a little about me...

“Anyone can give up, it's the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, that's true strength.”

The name's Kristi. I love summertime, love and life. CD's make me happy, music and swimming are my outlets. I love my friends and wouldn't be where I am without them. I'm not your average girl.
I have a lot of people in my life I consider amazing, (:

My life is a story, MY story, that of which I am the writer. No one else.
(:
I'm dorky, competitive and random. I'm Kristi, and I'm happy with where my life is right now. It's all I ever wanted, and I wouldn't change it for the world. <3

It's the feeling that you know you could have gotten it, that really gets to you, that makes it hurt, that makes you try even harder until you reach it. -Me

"When you feel like giving up, remember why you held on for so long in the first place."

Tomorrow is never something assured. The only thing we can be sure of is the second that we are living in right now, at this moment. We don't know what will happen in an hour, a day, a year. All we know is we've got one chance to live our life, live it up, make mistakes, fall in love, and have fun. Live for today, because tomorrow may shine different. - Mee.

the conclusion that revenge is ice cream. MLIA"

"Yeah and I would recommend that you live with no regrets, and even if it seems like the world is crashing on you, you shouldn't let it hold you down."

Life's a challenge. Life's full of moments, hopes, plans, dream,& memories that you'll never forget, even if you wanted to. Life's a rollercoaster ride, hang on, throw your hands in the air, scream at the top of your lungs, let yourself go, live. - Me

Anything other than yes is no. Anything other than stay is go. Anything less than I Love You is lying. <3
