• sometimes I like to write •

I wish I could tell you that love sounds like rain hitting rooftops. A little noise that makes you smile when you first hear it, and sometimes helps you sleep at night. But love sounds like you asking me to the lunch, and singing in your car, and tickle fights that end in the most passionate kisses. Love sounds like slow dancing to Lionel Richie records in the living room, and raising our voices after hard days, and us whispering apologies to each other before we go to sleep. Love is the sound of crickets lying in the grass at the elementary school behind my mother’s house. Love is laying with you for hours listening to the wind at 1am. Love is you sitting with me while I cried silently, completely unable to speak. Love is you bringing soup when I was sick and giving that necklace after my first day of work. Sometimes love is rain hitting rooftops, and sometimes love is a goddamn hurricane. But most of all, to me, love sounds like a life together with you.

This is the part where you find out who you are

I'm not sure I am as complicated as I may think, because sometimes I still don't understand myself, but that's okay. what else is this life for? I am twenty one years old. I have two younger siblings, Nikki ( 18 ) and Austin (15 ). I'm from a small town in Texas. I love storms, and rainy days. My favorite musician is Bon Iver. Music is my passion, singing, listening to it, writing it. Writing is my outlet. I'm a hopeless romantic meets cynic, and I'm working on that. ( that's what happens when you get your heart broken I guess right? ) My most favorite thing is open windows. More specifically in the fall. That's right up there with late night drives, candles, and macaroni and cheese though ;) I'm studying History and Political Science, with one year until I apply to law school to study criminal law, and become a prosecutor. I ran varsity track all through high school, so that is my outlet. I'm a terrible liar, and will laugh at anything. I still have Christmas lights in my room, and don't intend on ever taking them down. Some days I tend to act like a child, and will start water fights while doing dishes or preform an original song while making brownies. Yep, I'm that cool, it's fine. One of my flaws, is I feel everything so deeply. Sometimes it ruins me. But that's the reason I understand people, and life. That's also the reason I love to write. Also, I'm lucky enough to be in love with my best friend.
