she will be loved.

Dear Jessica, & Carleen


Thank you for the past four years, and lots of hilarious moments in our crazy classes. I will forever admit that English has always been my favorite subject and you both have made it better.
Jess- I know you already have your own lil' dedication on here but I'd like to promise I'll always stay in touch, and I will forever blog (even if it ends up just being for me)! I don't know how to say what I want to say (ironic) but I think you know. 
Carleen- I talk too much. Sorry. But I loved your class, you are fantastic with all us crazy students and also one of the funniest teachers I've ever had. I'd like to remind you that you are very much appreciated, and I'm very thankful to have ended my grade 12 English with you as my teacher.
therefore, yes, I am actually sad to see my last high school English class end. I would probably take it all year round if I could. does this scream future journalist? who knows. 
to sum it up, thanks and if being appreciated by students is what teaching is all about, then you've fulfilled that for at least one student.
You still have to put up with me til' June ;)

gregory and the hawks



if you be my star, i'll be your sky
you can hide underneath me, and come out at night
and i'll turn jet black, just to show off your light
i live you let you shine
i live you let you shine

my favorite of all.


this little lighting miracle took place in my kitchen.
so peaceful. so serene.

a big window of opportunity.



my family has a lullaby - sung from generation to generation
it's called "I see the moon"

I see the moon and the moon sees me
over the top of the old oak tree
please let the light that shines on me
shine on the one I love.

silhouettes and black and white dreams



glowing.



tree of life.



pretty, pretty girl


kitchen black and whites


my first prenatal photoshoot


we both wore similar facial expressions all throughout the shoot
we had so much fun- and it was our first time meeting each other.
what an experience, two weeks left ♥!

it's just that it's delicate.

i've had a lot on my mind lately
and i know it's a change
because i haven't been voicing my pensées
until i have them all sorted through
and sifted and put in the correct order.

mistakes. mistakes have been on my mind
and while mistakes have a tendency to be haunting and persistent
and enclosing
these are not.
have you ever considered the positive side of mistakes?
after the crushing realization and the
struggle to understand the new limitations and boundaries
that are so small compared to what was
so limited.
so nothing.
you begin to see the pain in a new light
because you can make new boundaries
you can start a new story.
questions are left unanswered
and things left unsaid
but dwelling does nothing.
so there is a mourning period
a time to let yourself be.
and just having someone there
silent and comforting and good and light
is all you need to pull you
all the way out of the dark depths of the water.
i understand because i've made them
i've learned because i've taken them
and made something from it.
i have taken too much time to dwell.
and there is too much road ahead.
don't forget to look back
but don't try to go back.
"love is so complicated.
it doesn't have to be and
i guess it's what you make it. remember that."
spoken like someone who has lived and learned.
you are almost over the bridge and out of the water.
so i guess what i'm trying to say is
you could say that about everything in life.
hope you took something from that.
love y'all too much.
and dedicated to my sweet, sweet friend
whom i posted this so she may read it anytime she likes.

until later "little monsters" (lady gaga)

unpublished.

today, today blog readers, i watched a lot of grey's anatomy.
i drank a lot of tea, and i cried alot (tears from greys, it happens)
but i realized i had not filled you in in soo freakin' long so i've decided to let y'awl know
that your dedicated blogger (yours truly) has applied to art school
for my university term this coming september. now,
besides my obvious family members/friends you will be first to know.
my attitude up to this date is that
whether accepted or not, i will continue on with hope, and confidence in whatever ability i have.
i have way too much left in me to just give up if not accepted.
therefore, i am hoping, and wishing, and deafining myself to those who think i can't do this
as well as those with over confidence.
i am remaining neutral until i am allowed to be excited or otherwise.
i do have hope, yes, and yes, i am very excited to have just tried for this
but that is all. if any of you hear jumping and screaming and one big "YES! WIN!"
it means, i am going to NSCAD in the fall.
if its silent, well, i can't scream that loud anyways.
;)
wish me luck, readers! i love you all,
thanks for.. following me.
god bless.

hails.

back in black.

hellloooooo
blog followers!
it's been a while, and i've missed you.
i've missed ranting to you until er, my fingers were blue. (as opposed to "blue in the face")
therefore you can probably guess i have alot to say.

first off, i hope everyone had some rockin' holidays (i know i did)
and i'd like to start off by making a shout out to new years -
this year, like all others, i did not make any new years resolutions.
the reason for this is that a long time ago, i promised myself that rather than taking a specific day when the year changes over to make a list of things i promise to do for the upcoming year,
i'd make them every day that i seen fit, in order to improve my year all the time.
but my big goal for this year is all about big thinking.
thinking positive, thinking happy, and thinking about the impossible
and it appears thoughts ARE powerful, because lately it seems this topic is popping up everywhere!
Am I sending things out into the universe? Très interessant..

I'd like to mention that one of my first resolutions was to spend more time
doing things that make me happy. (i.e. the immediate family jam session reinforced by yours truly)
Therefore, you should expect many pictures to overflow my blog soon. Yay!

Time is running short
So I will also vow to update this thing more often,
even when busy!
All my love, y'awl.
xoxo

Hails.

ps. did i mention i have twitter? what is the world coming to!.. it's actually kind of great.
