Who Am I?

Well I'm just another bored teenager of course. Well I don't like to think of myself as average. I am simply me. I am who God created me to be and I'm ok with that. I'm not perfect. I'm not the prettiest or the smartest girl you'll ever meet, but I'm comfortable in my own skin. I have a purpose in life and I'm going to figure that out and fulfill it someday. I'm different and I don't mind. Some people think I'm weird or strange or crazy, but I don't mind. Love me or hate me, it's your choice and not really something I can change. I know I'm not going to be everyone's favorite person but that's ok, I don't have to be. As long as I can be myself and live life how I should, I'll be happy. I'll deny that sometimes and think I'm miserable, but deep down I'll be happy. I'm not the cookie cutter little miss perfect either. I have my flaws, I've had my tough times that have gone to the extreme. I've gone down dark roads and I'm lucky (not to mention thankful!) to be writing this. Don't try to label me, it's impossible.

Oh Happy Day!

Right now I am saying that my parents are awesome! Yesterday my daddy took me to Durham to buy my guitar!
This is my beautiful Jackson DK2M, maple neck, Seymour Duncan, and Floyd Rose! Then I spent the rest of the day figuring it out. Let the songwriting begin! Well that will happen when I get my full voice back. I'm able to sing again but no hitting high As or anything at the moment.
I do have another song though.

a few months back I was looking through old scrapbooks and found these old pictures of me and my best friend in elementary school. I don't think he remembers me, but I remember him so clearly. Maybe one day I'll see him again even though it's been 10 years... this one's a little rough but I'm working on it.

You don't have to remember me
I forgot you too
I found and old photograph
From when it was just me and you
We weren't the most popular
But we had each other
I haven't seen you ince
Or know where you are
Maybe with a miracle
I'll find you again

Maybe there will come a day
Maybe I'll see you again
Across the country
Over the seas
You're somewhere in this world
Burned in my memory
Never forgotten

There's a day we were six
Dreaming of when we'd be older
Said we'd always be together
We weren't lying
We honestly forgot
and I'm sorry I did
Maybe one day
There'll be another chance
Cause we were best friends

It was your 7th birthday
At our favorite place
We rode the rides
and played all day
A memory to be
Never forgotten

Almost 17 now
I'm writing our song
Sitting here wondering how you are
Are you still chasing those dreams
Have you ever thought of me?
I've changed so much
You'd never believe it
But I'm sure you have too

Yep, that was really rough, but someday it's gonna be a prettier song. The melody is really rough too... It's still being worked on a lot, just gotta play with it long enough.
