to a grey, misty morning i wake up again.
slept smiling all night- was dreaming of him.
doing my hair, burned my finger for the hundredth time.
it's no excuse, but you know, the boy was on my mind.
unattentive in english, dozing off in science.
he's all i can think about. that must be why it's
so hard to concentrate on the notes i should take.
if reality was really better than my dreams,
maybe i'd try harder to stay awake.

Favorite Quote:
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn&#039;t serve the world. There&#039;s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won&#039;t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It&#039;s not just in some of us, it&#039;s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.<br /> -Marianne Williamson
