i would like to live in a world of beauty.
no tests, no comparisons.
just a place where we are able to express how we feel,
a place where everyone we have ever loved,
we always love.
where friendships live for years,
and people matter more than things.
a place where happiness is not a feeling,
but rather a state of being.
an eternal identity.
i would like to live in a place that nurtures creativity.
where science and structure are second to seasons,
words, light, color, air, clean and smooth.
where i can be me,
and you can be you,
and there will be no end
to us.

the little kid in me
this is what i know for a fact: i am still a little kid at heart. it's not that i'm immature or childish.. it's more like i enjoy the things that little kids enjoy, specifically their films. don't get me wrong though, i hate cartoons. i hate spongebob. and other annoying sounding characters.. so maybe i am not a little kid at heart, after all. i don't know where i am getting at..
but this is what i know. i like nancy drew, harriet the spy, matilda, kit kittredge and you get my drift. any young girl with a character and special ability. i always find it so amusing, charming and just plain special :) and secretly, i wish i could be like them.

If my life was a book
if my life were a book,
it would be a book of poems,
with the occasional broadway musical
and harmonics in high places.
a short, yet complex piece
wherein i am the heroine
despite my lack of courage.
and in this book
there are episodes of calm,
and longer stretches of tired.
but always, there is love.
this book ends happily,
(because the author is
the one who chooses
those things).
and the author is me.

I will always be found
This is what I know.
I know that life is hard but I will never give up. And because of that, I know I have lived my life with grace.
I know that every person I've encountered entered my life for a reason, and had something extraordinary to teach me.
I know we need to experience the bitter,
in order to experience the sweet.
I know that tomorrows are a chance to live yesterdays better.
I know that crying is good for the heart,
and hugs are good for the soul.
I know that a life without trials, is merely a life without lessons.
I know that regret is just a six letter word. There are no regrets, there are only lessons learned.
I know life is a form of not being sure, and that is beautiful.
I know that the beauty of life will always overpower the ugly days.
And I know that no matter how many times I am lost, I will always be found.

Dear significant other,
I've been thinking about you a lot lately. I wonder where you are and what you're doing. I wonder if you think about me too. Is it strange to miss you this much when we've never met? I wonder if I'll know you're the one when I see you for the first time. I wonder if it will be one of those breath catching, life stopping moments where deep down in my heart, I just kind of know that I'll be with you forever. Darling? Let's be inseperable. Let's be madly in love. Let's drink tea late on Sunday nights and tell each other how lucky we are to have each other every night for the rest of our lives. Let's create a beautiful love story for the ages, a story worthy to be written by Shakespeare. I only have one thing to ask of you, don't take too long. I'm getting kind of restless.
Love always, Jade

Bestfriend love.
to my best friend.
im in love with you, it happened abruptly and out of nowhere but nonetheless it was clear as day while i was laying in you arms that i am indeed in love with you. you have no idea, and well to be honest up until now i myself have been in denial about it. im scared. im scared to lose our friendship. im scared to lose my best friend, my trustee, and my cuddle buddy. im sitting here writing this, not even planning on doing anything with it, just getting it out of my head. finally making it real, enabling myself from further lying to myself about it. i cant imagine ever telling you how i feel. i continue to torture myself with your presence, i should end our friendship right here and now, and finally free my self from my self inflicted torment. but i cant. i cant imagine my life without you in it. i cant imagine not being able to laugh with you about the air head things i did today or make fun of how immature you are. im terrified because i know what it feels like to have your best friend be in love with you, but to just simply not reciprocate the feeling. i now officially know what it feels like to be on both sides, and let me tell ya they are both miserable. thats the funny thing about love, you cant control it. you cant control who you love, or when you love them. love has seemingly gone rogue. or has it always been?

Finding the light.
we live.
and we love.
and we learn.
with every passing moment we become better.
we become wiser.
we become stronger.
with every heartbreak we find our inner strength.
and with every dark moment we get one moment closer to finding the light.

Forever
I want to be the girl who you tell is the most beautiful thing you have ever seen,
even when I'm 70 and filled with laugh lines..
I want to be the one you choose to grow old with.
I'm giving you my everything,
my promise to love you
my promise to hold you
my promise to stick by you
my promise to tickle you, and be annoying.
I want to be everything you want, everything you need.
Forever.

Promises
Promises.
Alot of people make promises.
Promises that they can’t keep. I
t has always made me wonder why we do this, as it seems stupid.
Yet, i make promises myself that i can not keep.
I think we make promises to ones we love to keep them happy.
To friends to keep them happy.
Family, to keep them happy.
It’s funny how many people can say they will promise to do something, and never have any intention of doing it.
I have done this, i know you have too.
But after all the intention given, and the hurt recieverd from many a broken promise, i still find the urge to promise you the world.
I can’t promise that we wont fight, or that every day will be as great as the last, but what i can promise you is that i will love you forever, and always, with every inch of my heart.

The Rain is Beautiful :)
On this day, you read something that moved you
and made you realize there were no more fears to fear, no tears to cry, no head to hang in shame.
That every time you thought you’d offended someone
it was all just in your head and really, they love you with all their heart and nothing will ever change that.
That everyone and everything lives on inside you
and that that doesn’t make any of it any less real.
That soft touches will change you
and stay with you longer than hard ones.
That being alone means you’re free.
That old lovers miss you and new lovers want you
and the one you’re with is the one you’re meant to be with.
That everything you want to happen will happen
if you decide you want it enough.
That every time you think a sad thought
you can think a happy one instead,
and you control that completely.
That the people who make you laugh
are more beautiful than beautiful people.
That the people you hate wish you would stop
and you do too.
That your friends are reflections
of the best parts of you.
That you are more than the sum total of the things you know
and how you react to them.
That dancing is sometimes more important
than listening to the music.
That the most embarrassing, awkward moments of your life
are only remembered by you.
That no one judges you when you walk into a room
and all they really want to know, is if you’re judging them.
That what you make and what you do with your time
is more important than you’ll ever fathom.
That the difference between a job and art is passion
and that neither defines who you are.
That talking to strangers
is how you make friends.
That bad days end
but a smile can go around the world.
That life contradicts itself constantly
and that that’s why it’s worth living.
That the difference between pain and love
is time.
That love is only as real
as you want it to be.
That if you feel good, you look good -
but it doesn’t always work the other way around.
That the sun will rise each day
and it’s up to you each day to match it.
That nothing matters up until this point.
That what you decide now -
In this moment -
Will change the future forever.
That rain is beautiful.
And so are you.
and made you realize there were no more fears to fear, no tears to cry, no head to hang in shame.
That every time you thought you’d offended someone
it was all just in your head and really, they love you with all their heart and nothing will ever change that.

William Parish Quote
"Love is passion, obsession, someone you can't live without. If you don't start with that, what are you going to end up with? Fall head over heels. I say find someone you can love like crazy and who'll love you the same way back. And how do you find him? Forget your head and listen to your heart. I'm not hearing any heart. Run the risk, if you get hurt, you'll come back. Because, the truth is there is no sense living your life without this. To make the journey and not fall deeply in love - well, you haven't lived a life at all. You have to try. Because if you haven't tried...you haven't lived."
