Right Now

I just want to get away. far away. i want to breathe. i want to feel San Diego sand on my feet. i want to dance for hours. i want to see my best friends in person. i want to hug them. tell them i love them in person. i want to run without getting tired. i want to climb up a tree and sit there for hours. reading, looking at people below and birds above. sitting with a close friend. i want my skin to soak in the sun again. i want my own space. i want my sister to lighten up. i want to stay in LA for a week. i want my dreams to come true.

i want my dreams to come true.

I Can Smell Autumn

As i walked home today, i listened to my Ipod. it felt so peaceful. Safetysuit has the most beautiful music and lyrics. my school bag was light. i had no homework or assignments on my mind. it was a cloudy and cold day. but coming straight from dance, the cold air was welcomed as i walked the mile home. the leaves were still green, but there were more on the ground than usual. the streets were empty and there were no cars in front of the Taylor home. my favorite part of my daily walk were the smells. i could smell vanilla, fresh damp grass, the bark of trees, spices. it was amazing. it was a delicious mix of scents. it smelled like Halloween. autumn. maybe my favorite time of year. but then again, i say that about every time of year...

Cherry

i have a weakness for cherry blossoms.

i die at the site of them.
my heart melts.
they're glorious.

Car Car

i love going after school with my best friend Carly to get our nails done. or to stuff ourselves at the mall. or to walk to the hospital and eat the food there. no matter what we do, it is always soo much fun and always turns into an adventure. we laugh so much. we never get mad at each other, unless it's just sarcastically. and we like to have deep conversations. she's pretty much the only friend i can do all of these things with. I'm truly myself around her, and I'm not afraid to be. we make fun of each other, but never take it seriously. we tell each other straight up the way it is. we have a million inside jokes and even more fun and crazy memories. i love her i lover her. and I'm soooo thankful that she's my best friend. even though we're really different, we even each other out.
I'm not even really myself around my best best friend, Brenna. Carly is just so much easier to be around.
this was random ranting but i just wanted to say how much i love Carly and the times we have together! =]]]

just skip to 0:50 to see the best dance i think i have ever witnessed. well, in this genre at least haha

"wake up; get up; stand up for your rights"

hugs are always better long
and seeds need the sun
you can always right your wrongs
and tomorrow always comes
no matter what the situation
don't listen to what they say
remember remember
after night comes day

don't know exactly how he wanted to interpret this, but i think it's pretty deep
winston, i love you

the summer sun beat down on us

this weekend was lovely.

what i loved about it:
Thursday me and Carly spent a fun day at the mall after school. She's my best friend.
Kayla, Brianna, and Mark arrived early Friday morning
Hollywood with Kayla and Mark
the crowded beach on Saturday. Taking about 2 hours to get there.
In-N-Out after
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince with mom and Bri at Muvico. loved it!
Jake and James' homecoming talks. Longest sacrament meeting of my life.
watching Across the Universe
going to the Wright's house with Bri. Love them
a warm beach night for sunset and stars with Kayla and Mark. Kayla's hilarious friends came later. Miranda and Ben stayed for a little bit.

what i didn't like:
Kayla and Brianna stealing all of my clothes, leaving me with nothing to wear

my dad bailed on taking me and Carly to the dodger game on Sunday =[

Kay, Bri, and Mark leaving this morning. Being in an empty, quiet house again

going back to school

i hate saying goodbye. i hate letting go.
