School started last week. I am such a drama queen, because it's not even that bad. I love my schedule, and what's not suprising at all is the fact that my spirit gets more abused at home than it does at school. What was I worried about? Pshh.
First period is band, as always. Our new director is well, new. He does things a lot differently. Some of the changes are good, like not having night practices, but I feel like more of them are just irritating me. Second period is Counsiling and Mental Health. Can you say complete blow off class? I didn't expect it to be hard, but I did expect to learn. Third period is Academic Decathalon. I am so proud of myself! I've actually been keeping up with my work, and its not as much as it seems like it is. I really wanna make the team. Fourth period on A day is Advanced Health. There are some interesting characters in there, but I'm expecting it to be fun. How can it not be when you get to perform for elementary students and eat off campus? :P My fourth period on B day is PALs. I had fun with that last year and I'm glad I decided to do it again this year. I always thought I hated kids, but that class helped me realize that they're the best people you'll ever meet. Fifth period is AP Economics. Me, Candace, Sheyla, Artaya, and Jerrett, have too much fun in there xD. Mr. Turner teaches it but, GASP! We still manage to keep a classroom environment. Sixth period is Spanish 3. I love Mrs. Pope! She's so funny, and it kind of amazes me how a full white woman can speak such authentic spanish. Not to mention that she totally said "far" the other day, haha. Seventh period [as of now] is AP Calculus. I definitely only signed up for that class because I thought I wouldn't be able to take AP Statistics. Hallelujah, the Lord is faithful and I should have a schedule change coming through on Monday. Sixth period will be AP Statistics, and seventh period will be Spanish 3. The only sacrafice was that instead of taking AP psychology next semester, I'll have to take... something else? I don't remember. It's a garbage class though. I was just happy to have been set free from Calculus and the wrath of Mr. Tillerson. xD
Last night was my last first football game and halftime performance. I can't believe I'm a senior. I have to do something about college! I have to be able to keep it together when everything starts to end! I have to make memories that will last forever. xO What am I going to do with myself? D:
Living with my mother is getting out of hand. Sometimes this house feels like prison. I have so much built up resentment towards her, I kind of don't think it'll ever mellow out. I dont look up to her anymore, she doesn't make me smile anymore, it's just a mess. I should be used to it, I should be over it, but I'm not. Silly me. Oh my goodness. Thursday night, my Lyric May had to experience the devastation of being alive. Not cool at all, she's only two! My heart seriously just broke when I heard her start to cry, but at least I was there to hold her while the grown ups acted like they weren't grown.
Hey. Hey you. Yes, you. I hate her, because she makes me feel so insignificant. You have way more history with her than with me, and you think that just because you say she doesnt matter that I'm supposed to believe that in my heart. I wish I could, because I know you only say things that you mean. And I'll deal with it as fast as I can, I promise. It's my problem, not yours.
But back to happiness, and friends, and joy.
Band isn't the same without Christopher Del Monte. Why don't me and Jamie Bell ever see each other? I need for Magen Thornton to drop out of college and come back to me. I miss Theodore Beyene, oddly, or perhaps not that oddly, lol. Keithbear is a traitor. I'm so proud of Alisha Harper-Motte. School is really messing up me and Jennifer West's friendship... or maybe it's that dumb job of hers! I'm going to kidnap Shey Stults and not even feel bad about it. I love Matthew Argenbright. F51 is still the light of my life. God is so good, although I am so unworthy. Praise Him.

Go away, I dislike you.
In June, I posted one of my poems called "Mad". I think I might have been casting bad omens over my life when I wrote that poem, because omgsh. The freaking poem has come to life.
In the poem, he's asleep, and she's trying to be quiet so that he wont wake up and see all of the bad things locked up inside her heart that come out in the middle of the night. And she's fighting her demons with everything she has, but they win. And she's hurt because she thought she'd gotten good at keeping them under wraps. And then her feelings become so misplaced, and she just starts to physically break down. Then to top it all off, right in the middle of such a glorious moment in her life, he wakes up...
How inconvenient, right?
"I cannot let him see this dangerously deluded monster creeping, crawling out of me." I know right! Because I'm telling you how bad its gonna get, and I'm urging you to just leave so you wont be subjected to such nonsense, but I don't wanna demonstrate. I wish you'd listen, so this wouldn't happen again.
"Kick, fight, bite, and SCREAM." Yo, I don't just let these things get inside my head. Although I'm thinking I should now, because it doesn't even matter anymore. You've already seen; I don't think theres much left thats worth fighting to hide.
"In fear of myself, and with all that I've done, the worst is still yet to come..." Look. I've felt systematically beaten down by everyone that was supposed to build me up since I was old enough to know that I needed to be loved. "What happened?" Nothing happened: life happened. For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction; and unfortunately their actions have triggered certain reactions. I would have been fine if you didn't make me give away my swagg, like I didn't need it or something. Since all I have now is raw emotion, I'm sure its all downhill from here. Do yourself a favor. I'll be okay, and you'll be even better.
The last two lines say: "And he has come to the realization that I am no good for him." Whats the hold up, bae?

I Hate This Part...
Let me just say this again: I DON'T WANNA LOSE MY BEST FRIEND OVER SOMETHING SILLY.
Lane says that sometimes the truth hurts more than a lie. He's a smart kidd.
Last night I was jealous... because I knew she was with you, and thats where I wanted to be. And when I texted you, I wasn't going to say anything about it because thats not my place, but you... why are you so honest with me? And since when have I preferred ignorance over bliss? Its not that I'd rather you lie, its that I wish the whole truth didn't make me want to self destruct.
Jennifer says that if I don't start communicating with you, telling you how I feel, all the bad things that could ever happen will definitely happen.
That used to not be a problem. I know I can always tell my best friend anything. But I think that the circumstances are making me forget that you are, indeed, my best friend. It's unacceptable on my part, and I hope you'll be patient and forgiving until I learn how to do better. The circumstances make me want to run when you need me to stay, and even when I need to stay. And I don't recall running from anything, but with you its like my first instinct.
I keep saying that everything will be alright, but I don't know that I mean it.
I can't even explain the extent of what my mind was subjected to last night. I was mad at you for hurting me, and I was mad at me for letting myself be hurt in the first place. And I was so sad... but I couldn't cry until I stopped focusing on what you did, and started to realize what I didn't do. And then I was sorry for not being there.
I love you so much, and not saying it is unnatural, but how am I supposed to say that and not remember? How am I supposed to open up and make myself vulnerable when I know what can happen. That's why I've been running, and thats why I wouldn't communicate. I'm scared for us.
You say you're a horrible person.
Being confused doesn't make you evil. Thinking about how wrong you are takes the fear out of my heart: and then it makes me love you... which puts the fear right back in. What are we gonna do?
Whatever you do, don't worry about me! I'm perfect as long as I have my BFF, and he's happy.
<3

Um. I still really don't know whats going on in my life.
Band camp started on Monday; I absolutely HATE being around all those people who remind me of my old self and make it hard for me not to slip back into my old ways. I love them, but I don't love the effect they have on me. Sigh.
My heart has been mostly conflicted. But Jennifer helped me realize today that, I don't wanna lose my best friend over something silly. I actually get pretty scared when I start to think about it. And the best thing to do would be to just talk it out, right? But I don't wanna go there... LOL, and today I felt my first wave of intense jealousy. What an adventure; here we goooo. ;]
I figured we'd just have poetry time since I'm not mentally able to talk about anything else :P
System Error
This love has conquered all
Yet undivided, now we fall
Because you have got the best of me
And we won’t ever be the same”
It’s the way that I love you
Like our lungs love the air
But the oxygen supply
Won’t support the wear and tear
It’s the way that you love me
Like our hearts love the beat
But the blood flow is slowing down
System error to replete
And I am surely suffocating
My body cannot bear the waiting
Except that is what I know to do
Hold by breath and wait for you
And I try to stay alive
Reminiscing once upon a time
Because you promised happily ever after
I’m afraid our picture perfect has shattered
Its tiny parts are all too faded, too scattered
We aren’t brave enough for heartbreak
So we settle for heartache
And we pick up the pieces
To make the same mistakes
I love you like you love me
But perhaps we just weren’t meant to be
But wait just a minute, you have to know
That I won’t ever let this go.
“This love has got the best of me
and we wont ever be the same”
I wonder what prompted me to write that. Have you ever been so dependent on someone that when they weren't there you found yourself breaking down? But you never thought in advance to protect your heart because they we're supposed to stay. And it seems like a one-way pain, but both of you are feeling the burn. And you try to make it better, but you don't change anything, and by the time you just let go... you've got permanent scars from so many broken pieces.
My life is great. My friends are greater. My God is greatest. <3

The Ramp
On Sunday night I got back from a trip to "The Ramp" in Alabama with my youth group. I'm not sure what happened to me spiritually during those two and a half days, but something definitely happened. The sermons weren't quite what I needed to hear and I didn't get baptized, but I worshiped like I hadn't in a long time. By the time we'd got back, I felt really close to the youth who went, and especially to the Shaw family. Jeff, Denise, Amber, and Jairus are truly God-sent. They've seen the fire and they know how to help us bring it.
I didn't have a clear spiritual break through. I didn't get baptized in the Holy Spirit and start speaking in tongues. I think I'm still in the same place I was before I left; I'm ready to see Grace Pointe Church explode all over the metroplex in the name of Jesus. And even more, I'm ready to see myself explode all over anything I can. I know God didn't put me there for no reason, so maybe I wasn't there for myself. Maybe I was there for other people. And actually, I'm honored.
Me and Kylie were together on the car ride there and in we stayed in the same room. We built such a new and strong friendship, right when she needed it. I don't know how to explain this next part, but me and Alisha made up. On the last night there was a hug, tears, and apologies. Praise God. She is turning into such a wonderful person.
So now I'm back home and its like theres a constant wonder/worry about whats going to happen next. Are we going to be able to keep the drive for the fire? How are we going to keep that drive? I have absolute trust in God, and if theres anyone I believe in, its the people in F51. Maybe I'm wondering how I'm going to keep the drive... I don't know! I'm still trying to take in everything that happened over those two and a half days...
Something happened, thats fersure. Because the devil is attacking at all angles. I'm feeling slothful because I was so spiritually worn out, and I don't wanna pray or read my bible: but I'm doing it anyways. Satan is on his game trying to set our youth group against each other. Me and Magen got into it for the first time yesterday and that has never, ever, happened before. I recognized it right away but... goodness.
Last night I got thrown away like trash by someone I cared about. I didn't do anything, but I guess a girl he's been with for two months has more weight than me, even when I didn't do anything wrong. I was mad, and I cussed, and I cried. And then when I woke up this morning I decided I wouldn't ever let Satan break me down like that again, especially not behind a person.
"Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it." -Matthew 7:13-14

The silly neighbors put a password on their internet. How rude.
Apparently last week around this time I accidentally went psycho over you know who. He likes a girl; DUH right? But before that had been brought to my attention, I was all excited about a whole bunch of bull. I was planning when to tell him how I feel and pretending that if he found out nothing would change. I super don't know what my problem was, but I probably needed that big huge slap in the face by reality. I havent seen him in three weeks, and counting. It looks like I'll be counting for another week, though. I'm sure I'll be super nervous and naucious when I do get to see him. KILL ME NOW, YO!
This summer I've grown closer to the people in my youth group. Its all good except that it seems the closer I get to F51, the more distant I get from everyone else. I'm more likely to go out of the way to help someone in my youth group than to help my other "friends" [with the exception of a few people]. Thats not fair for other people, but I also find it difficult to care. :P I feel like our ministry is about to BLOW UP, and I dont want anyone to be left out because of internal struggles, and definitely not because of external struggles.
God has done great things in my life and in lives of those near and dear to me; and it don't stop. I've seen God move in some ways I never thought I'd see.
I love Jesus Christ so much, and I pray he use me in any and every way: consume me from the inside out. Amen.
Tonight I'm heading out to Alabama with a few of my favorite people in the world to witness God's presence at The Ramp. I know in my heart that God has something in store for me because Satan is all over me and my attitude [for that is the easiest way for him to attack me]. But Satan can SIT DOWN, cuz nothing is keeping me from my blessings. I have some stuff I need to recieve and let go of. And in the name of Jesus, its happening in Alabama!
I love Matthew Paul Argenbright. I love Jennifer Avanna West. I love Lewis "Lew Lew" Glin.

I HATE YOU.
I love Matthew :]
YOU HAVE PUT MY HEART IN A HORRIBLE PLACE.
Matthew is trying to fix it. (:
I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER.
Matthew tried to tell me better...
I HOPE I NEVER HAVE TO SEE YOU AGAIN.
Me and Matthew will always be best friends. :D
WHY DID I EVER WANT YOU IN MY LIFE?
Thank God for BFF Matthew!
My heart is hurting...
Incase there was any confusion.
That is all.
