Married

Inheritance

Life was never as hard for me
As when I thought it was easy
Because I look at trauma it caused
And it still makes me feel uneasy
You had the money to pay the bills
But I paid with my childhood
Cleaning up your vodka bottles
And wishing things were good
When I grew up I got married
And the cycle then repeated
I found the hidden vodka bottles
And feared I’d been defeated
But I broke free from you
So I broke free from him
Even when it was uncomfortable
I pushed myself out on a limb
Because love is not an apology
For doing the same things again
So I had to break the pattern
And move on from where I’ve been
Now I do dry January every year
Knowing I could be just a drink away
From becoming just like you or him
And I’ll always choose a different way
You raised me to think this was normal
So I don’t know if I can ever forgive you
But I hope I found the end to the story
That I never planned to continue

Band Tee

I was young when I first met you
You caught my eye and I thought “you’re cute”
You looked at me and you felt it too
I took a leap with no parachute

[Chorus:]
Run away and bring me along
If I’m with you nothing can go wrong
You’ll sing with me to my favorite song
In your jeans with your band tee on

You pick me up in your silver car
Take me away, I don’t care how far
Serenade me with your guitar
I’ll write you songs for my repertoire

[Chorus:]
Run away and bring me along
If I’m with you nothing can go wrong
You’ll sing with me to my favorite song
In your jeans with your band tee on

In your arms you’re my sanctuary
You keep me safe like it’s necessary
And keep me warm when it’s January
I’m so thankful it’s you I married

[Chorus:]
Run away and bring me along
If I’m with you nothing can go wrong
You’ll sing with me to my favorite song
In your jeans with your band tee on

Note: This song is meant to be pop-country. I don’t usually write ‘happy’ things, and I scarcely write songs. However, I enjoyed how this turned out.

2018 Concluded

Happy New Year! I don’t make personal posts often – but I decided to post a recap of 2018! This last year flew by so quickly; between work and school, there was always a lot going on! I feel like I was just doing my start of the year Whole 30 (oh wait – maybe because I’m also doing that right now).

Last year I took the Myers-Briggs Personality Test which really explained a lot about myself to me. My results determined that I am an INFP personality type. One thing that I read was that many INFP’s are writers, poets, and actors. I have been writing for many years, and that made me decide on creating my blog.

“INFPs have a talent for self-expression, revealing their beauty and their secrets through metaphors and fictional characters.”

I also got married in July! The first half of the year I spent on all the planning, little details and crafting. Most of my extra time went into getting everything together for our special day – which turned out fabulous.Wedding 2018

After the wedding, I found that I had so much free time. This was now the time for me to work on my goals of starting a new blog, as I had stopped blogging in 2009 (old blog). In July I created my WordPress account. By the end of the year, my blog had 725 different visitors with 1,207 views. I am in awe that my words have reached so many people and countries.

After starting my blog, I felt brave enough to start doing poetry readings as well. I have posted some of my readings to the blog – stay tuned for more in this new year!

My last update is that music is still one of my greatest inspirations. I would go as far as saying I’m obsessed with Spotify after I listened to it for 78,546 minutes (54.54 days of non-stop music). I am constantly looking for new inspiration, and this year I would say that it was Chelsea Cutler. (Side note: Thomas Rhett, Taylor Swift and He Is We most likely ended up there because I saw them all in concert last year!)

Thank you, everyone, for keeping up with me and my blog!
