It's been a great Christmas. I'm so blessed to have a family that loves me & to have parents who can provide me with so much. Its hard to imagine that our country is in desperate times & that people don't have jobs right now & can't even afford to live in a house. Yet, I am blessed to go to an expensive school, live in a nice house, travel to my grandma's, get amazing gifts, and simply do things that not that many people can do. God has blessed me and I am never grateful enough.

- can't stop thinking of this summer & how close I was to God. Malibu was the best experience of my life and brought me so close to what I never realized I didn't have. Being a Christian is so hard, and yet so simple at the same time. But I have clearly struggled with it way too much. The bible verse about 'being in the world but not of it' consistently pops up in my head and makes me realize how I just gave up on that. I mean, I'd like to say I tried, but I can't lie to myself. I mean I certainly haven't gone crazy like some people I know, but it doesn't make me better than anyone else if I'm still drinking or doing whatever is compromising the morals I've stood for and maintained my entire life. I never realized how close I was to a relationship until I really fell out of one. I've struggled my whole life with what I thought was the lack of a relationship, but in reality it was just building me up for recognizing the lack of.

All I can think of is the times I felt hopeless & alone, crying out for someone to answer my prayers. For God to answer my prayers. But I realize now it was all sort of a test. I would be such a different person without everything I've been through. So different I probably wouldn't even know myself. I've learned to cope with the situations I've been in, and its made me a stronger, more confident, more outgoing, and overall better person. God has brought me this far & I know that he's going to bring me through the rest, well I sincerely hope. All I need to do is try to find my summer love and regain my relationship. I've put everything before Him & that needs to change. No more relationship on the backburner.

Things are going to change.

John 3:16... Who wouldn't want to change?

Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays...

Everytime I say those words it makes me think of the 'N Sync song.. It makes me so happy because it makes me think of simple times. When I was younger and everything was so much easier to deal with. Where the only problems were what game you were gonna play at recess. Drugs were prescription. Broken Hearts didn't exist. Love was a distant fantasy. Everything was just easy. Now, life is so different. I'm faced with so much more than I ever thought I could bear. But it's because I've been through so much that I am able to stand up under the pressure.

College is great. I love my boyfriend. My family, although sometimes difficult, is still behind me all the way :)

2009 has been quite a year... It's pretty ridiculous honestly. I graduated from high school. Had the best summer of my life. Started college. Got a boyfriend. Learned what it's like to live on my own. I've been through heartache, love, happiness, sadness, excitement, depression, thrills, and more.

And I can confidently say I'm ready for a new year. It's been full of so much craziness, and I'm ready for at least a theoretical "new beginning."

You know, I've always made New Year's Resolutions, but this year i'm going to set some goals. and I intend to actually keep them..

Well good night..

And in the words of Tiny Tim
"God bless them, every one.."

and I mean it :)

what do i do..

"Find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot, who calls you back when u hang up on him, who will lie under the stars and listen to ur heartbeat, or will stay awake just to watch u sleep..wait for the boy who kisses your forehead,who wants to show you off to the whole world, who holds ur hand infront of his friends, who thinks ur jst as pretty without makeup on. One who is constantly reminding u of how much he cares and how lucky he is to have you..."

But it should also say...
who will respect you when you ask him to stop bugging you, who will respect you asking him to leave and let you figure out your thoughts, who won't smother you, who won't do PDA in public if you're uncomfortable with it, who won't let things get too serious too quick, who won't pressure her EVER, who won't get jealous over stupid things, who will allow her to be her own person, who won't try to control her, who will let her make her own decisions, no matter how pissed he is he'll NEVER take it out on her or hurt her, who feels like he doesn't deserve her and actually acts like it, who will let things happen as they will.

i don't know if i love him. but i can't take us not talking. he's so much more of a best friend than a boyfriend. and i love that and dont want to lose it. i dont know what to do. i dont have anything figured out. this is the first time. you expect so much of me, and i let you down because what you want is currently unattainable. you pressure me, but i cant, dont know what to do, and dont want to. i am new, not the old one. totally different, yet i feel like you treat it the same. but right now, everything is feeling wrong. jealousy. pressure. ignorance. expectations. different morals. different standards. just different.

before everything seemed so good. but as we go on i feel like im somehow blamed for everything. like everything is on me to not screw this up but no one is perfect. i cant handle taking care of you, when i can barely take care of myself. maturity. you want it, but we're so young. its too hard to plan anything. the future is unpredictable.

im sorry. but i honest to god haven't a CLUE what to do right now.

surprise.

so pretty much this weekend has been amazing. i hung out with my boyfriend at his beach house. and it could not have been more fun :) we made food, watched elf, talked forever and more.. it was a definite need break from the world.

anyways. i've been thinking of my current relationship and it made me think of this poem thing i wrote a while back. i couldn't remember exactly what i had written, except i knew it was something about what i wanted to have in a boyfriend. so i went looking for & found this poem thing i had written.

and i freaked out a little...... in a really really really good way.

--------------
I want that one boy.
The one who will tell me I'm beautiful even when I don't agree
The one who knows when I'm feeling sad and knows how to fix it
Will give me hugs and kisses for no reason
One who will throw rocks at my window late at night
One who I will sneak away with and just drive to no place particular
He won't like all the mushy gushy stuff, like me
One who will be my boy friend and my best friend
One who knows my secrets
Who I can trust no matter what
I can go over to his house and we'll just lay down together talking about random things for hours
Even when I get annoying he'll understand
The one who will tell me I succeeded at something even when we both know it's not true
That one who has the best hugs
Who will take me on crazy adventures for no reason
No moment will ever be boring or unpredictable
Any story told in the future would be interesting, funny and completely random
One who knows how to make me laugh when I'm feeling bummed or pissed off
One who calls me pretty or gorgeous, not hot
Who treats me with respect
When I come up to him crying, he will ask "Whose ass am I kicking now?"
Who can just wait on the phone with me until we fall asleep
A boy who will serenade me and won't care how bad it sounds
Someone who will like me for me and not care when I have no makeup on
Won't make fun of my stupid laugh or my quirky sense of humor
The one who will show me they aren't all the same
One who will prove they aren't all stupid
Prove they aren't all moronic guys who just use and play girls because they can
Is that too much to ask for
Just that one boy.
---------------

as corny as it sounds
basically my dreams came true.
who knew it was possible?

one more line i just thought of....
"one who i can say 'i love you' to, and have it mean so much more than i ever thought possible"

hmm...

so you know when you have a song playing over and over in your head?
does it ever mean anything to you?
or it just something that playing on the radio when you turned the car off?
well for me, half the time it's that. but the other half the song actually has meaning.
something that reminds me of a certain event that occurred and was really fun, or maybe it has lyrics that pertain to a situation that i'm going through, or maybe i'm just making shit up as i go.
well anyways, my point is, i have had lyrics stuck in my head for days. and this case is because it pertains to my situation i guess. you know the song "listen" by beyonce? ya. that's what i have stuck in my head. don't know the song? forgot it? well here are the lyrics...

Listen,
To the song here in my heart
A melody I start
But can't complete

Listen, to the sound from deep within
It's only beginning
To find release

Oh,
the time has come
for my dreams to be heard
They will not be pushed aside and turned
Into your own
all cause you won't
Listen....

Listen,
I am alone at a crossroads
I'm not at home, in my own home
And I tried and tried
To say whats on my mind
You should have known
Oh,
Now I'm done believing you
You don't know what I'm feeling
I'm more than what, you made of me
I followed the voice
you gave to me
But now I gotta find, my own..

You should have listened
There is someone here inside
Someone I'd thought had died
So long ago

Oh I'm screaming out, for my dreams to be heard
They will not be pushed aside or worse
Into your own
All cause you won't
Listen...

I don't know where I belong
But I'll be moving on
If you don't....
If you won't....

LISTEN!!!...
To the song here in my heart
A melody I've start
But I will complete

Oh,
Now I'm done believing you
You don't know what I'm feeling
I'm more than what, you made of me
I followed the voice, you think you gave to me
But now I gotta find, my own..
my ownn...

okay, so i guess you might be wondering how the heck this pertains to my sitch? yes? well i'll try to explain. vaguely.
one of my worst pet peeves is when people can talk anyone's ears off, but refuse to have the decency to listen. let's say a certain someone i know kinda sucks at this. i'm not going all dramatic like beyonce, but i can't say i enjoy being ignored half the time. I'm a good listener. i'm not gonna lie. seriously, mad listening skills right here. i could listen to people for days if they needed me to. it's not that i don't like to talk, cuz trust me i do! but a lot of people find it easier to cope with a situation if whoever they're talking to can truely, 100% listen. no distractions, and lots of time. i'm one of those people, no not the super good listener (altho i am that too) but the person who needs someone to just shut up and listen when something needs to be talked about, or whatever. the person referred to previously isn't good at that. let's say, hypothetically of course, that the person in question had a blog, in which lots of insights into this person's mind were written (yes, much like mine). but let's say (still hypothetically) that the person posted about me trusting them, and wanting to just talk forever, and listen. And I quote "I care more about what's goin on in ur head, and what ur thinking rather than anything else." and yet, this person sucks at listening.... try to get a word in during a conversation, and i'm basically booted out or ignored. i hate being ignored. again, not gonna lie. i like to be the center of attention, you might even say i crave it. so being ignored while trying to talk about random important stuff? ya. that really sucks... i don't know if this is an all the time thing, but it seems like it, and if it is, i definitly need to talk to this random person, . but i really suck at letting my feeling out. we'll see how this goies, if it does....

anyways. i'm pooped. and need to finish my home work. well, this sucks... ughhhhhhhhh. soooo tired!!! nighty night

new to this game.

i'm sorry that i don't know what to do.
i'm sorry i don't have any of this figured out.
i'm sorry that it's gonna be difficult.

i wish that i had more experience.
i wish i wasn't closed off.
i wish i had more insight into what the hell is going on.

i want to be perfect.
i want things to work smoothly.
i want it to be easy.

but.
how do you expect me to just know how to do everything right away?

how am i supposed to trust you if you don't trust me?

Saturday, November 21, 2009

i put up a front.

because i'm afraid.
afraid of what you can do to me.
afraid of the past.
the past that consisted of boys who hurt.
hurt more than i ever want to be hurt again.
you can only take so much before you just want to be done with it all.
you just want it to end.
but it can't just end without something drastic.
all the bullshit can't simply be ignored.
you brush it away, yet reach for something attainable
something that is positive, stable.
and when you find the good, whatever good it is, you don't ever want to let go.
so you hold on.
hoping that something better is going to come along.
and before you know it, something does.
or so you think.
maybe this time it will be different.
maybe this time he will be different.
but no.
it's always the same.
the same game. the girl.
hurt.
alone.
so how is she expected to simply trust.
free fall into a world she knows nothing about.
trust is sacred because it has slowly deteriorated from years of misuse.
so she keeps up the wall.
the wall that guards her heart, her mind, her thoughts, her love
wishing that maybe it actually will be different this time
but still so unsure of anything, of everything.
in time, it might change, will change.
in time.
nothing lasts forever.
the pain will fade away.
the experiences will be forgotten, forgiven,
but the memories remain.
those of pain, heartbreak, loneliness, abandonment, despair.
times like these she hopes will appear no more.
but nothing is for sure.
nothing can be promised, no matter how many times sworn
no one is perfect.
no one

lost.

missing a boy. haven't talked to him in a while. but very excited to see him tomorrow. currently doing homework. sorta. listening to train, miley cyrus, vertical horizon, tay swift, and more... hungry. tired. exhausted. worn out. excited to see mom allie & amy in 2 days.

the worst part of my week. stressing about grades because if i don't find a way to pull them up there's a chance i won't pass & if that happens, my GPA will be under 3.0 and I will lose my scholarship. i don't know how my parents are going to react to this kind of thing so i haven't told them. shit. and then spanish i'm also struggling, but i'm pretty sure i can keep that above a C- so i'm moving it to pass fail. it sucks that i only have 13 credits because it means i can't drop a class, so basically i'm stuck in a hell hole right now. shit. damn. mother f.

i need god right now. where are you. i'm lost.

new song.

I can’t decide if this is right.
Do you really want me to choose tonight?
My heart is split in two.
You see I’m falling head over heels for you.

I feel like I gotta slow down and look at
Everything I have before me
I know this should be an easy choice
But I, don’t know if I wanna complicate, the thing we have between us

[chorus]
I gotta make my mind up, push on through
Cuz this just isn’t fair to you
I know you’re waitin’, waitin’ on me
To give an answer on what we should be
But wait, stop, please don’t push me
Boy you know, you just, just can’t rush me
And this is a big decision, so Hold On

This, is the time for me to decide
How, I’m gonna, live my life
And if, you’re gonna be a part
Boy just please, don’t, break my heart

It's been a while

well since no one follows me i'm kinda thinking there isn't any point to writing this blog, but i guess i get a sense of security writing about my life happening and thinking there's a chance someone is going to read it... well whatever.

anyways. its been pretty much forever since i last blogged and that's because college is amazing. mind you, it certainly has its sucky moments and isn't all fun & games.. but for the most part i love it to death. haha. well i have no idea how to summarize the past few weeks into a matter of sentences but i will start form the beginning and just go from there =)

Sooooo since i haven't written anything since school has started a TON has gone on. i've gotten over a fling with a boy and started a new one with another boy. altho this makes me sound like somewhat of a slut i swear im not haha... its all somewhat complicated. but the boy who i liked for a while has moved on also, to one of my friends in fact ;) so it's all good. but ya. the new boy is good. he's really outgoing & i love it. but ya classes haven't been awful, except for the whole almost failing, but we're good now as far as i know.... Also, I'm pledging a sorority!! =) Gamma Phi Beta. It's kinda funny that I even ended up doing recruitment. but i signed up a few days before just thinking i wanted the experience of going through it & i ended up loving GPhi and stayed the whole time & ended up pledging. so here i am, we've had activities & a retreat, Airbands (amazingly fun!), Crush party (really fun until my date got kicked out so i decided to leave with him & my other dates) and i'm currently in the process of "bigs & littles" we chose last weekend & we find out this coming thursday who our bigs are (i'm super confused at who mine is cuz whoever she is is totally confusing me. right now i'm pretty sure it's between emily & jessica. but i'm leaning towards jess cuz she Says she's never had a little.. altho she could be lying.. i don't really know. but kalie says she knows.. so i don't really know if she even knows haha)

Anyways, besides all this good stuff, there's certainly a share of bad stuff going on. well not necessarily bad stuff, just annoying stuff, or whatever. Like how i was almost failing chem, but i think im good now. Like when my parents visited i felt like they had interrupted my life almost, and i felt so bad, but then when i did have time for them they were doing stuff, so it was really a weird visit, it certainly is going to be strange going back home which is in a month by the way && i'm SUper excited for it =) my mom booked my ticket. anyways. Like how i feel like my guy "friend" seems to be having a lot of issues and i feel like i'm supposed to take care of him and those issues in some way, but i don't think i'm capable of taking care of my own issues && his && him in general, which is what's making me unsure of whether or not i'm prepared to have a boyfriend, there's certainly been all sorts of drama in that department, cuz for a little while we argued about how he should be acting around me cuz i'm apparently a lot different than all of his past girlfriends and since i've never had a boyfriend i certainly don't know how to act.... so there's a lot of complications in that area, like i said. but ya. i guess i'm just trying to figure it all out, and how to deal with everything & such. also. Like how i'm having issues in the friends area simply because i feel like i haven't made that many sincere friends, and if i do something seems to happen every time & we drift apart or something, gosh, friends are all so complicating... i don't even know.. ughh. but ya. so that's just kind of a general overview of my life right now.

i think i'm gonna try to update this thing more simply because i don't want to have to do this sort of huge general overview again, cuz it's wayyy too general. i like more specifics. but whatevs. well PeacE. i gotta go do some homework cuz we have meeting earlier tonight.. :)

ttys.

Homesick...

It's kicking in... I'm realizing the full extent of how far away I am from home. I can't run away by myself, can't run to my best friends, can't hang out with my sister, say hello to my parents, say goodnight to my little brother, go play with my dog. Nothing. I'm so far away and need to be with people who I know and love soon or I will die... Orientation is crazy fun and making friends really sucks basically... Everyone is already so clicky! Ahhhhhhhhhhhh..... ok HIGH SCHOOL =P whatevvvssss....

Just gotta survive the year. Homework, classes, making good friends, surviving, that's it =)

Ok, now to continue with life.... Just try not to cry.

The beginning... or is it the end?

Dear readers,

So I've always thought of doing a blog. But I've pretty much always figured no one cared enough about me to read it. And you know what, maybe you, you who are reading this, are the only one who cares... Then again maybe not. But you won't ever really know will you. Because you won't know how many other people are reading this. Or will you?

Anyways. Sorry for the rambling, that will happen a lot, I apologize in advance, I can't control it. It something that just happens, and I don't realize until I'm well into a ramble, and then I just end up forgetting my train of thought. Crap, there I go again.......

ANYWAYS, I decided that since I'm going to college, in like one day, that I should have some form of constant communication with the outside world.... that isn't facebook. =)

SO for my first post I'm going to make it short.

I'm freaking out.

Ok, not that short, I'll explain. I'm in cleaning & packing mode for school and it is absolute hell. Not only do I have to pack my belongings for the next 4 years of my life, but I'm also entirely cleaning out my room because someone will actually be replacing me! K, well it's not that drastic, but someone is moving into my room for a few months. Luckily I love her, or things could just get really awkward... So ya, I'm cleaning EVERYTHING AND packing... not exactly my cup of tea.

So, my predicted plans for the next less than 48 hours that I have left of my home are: nothing in the morning, pool with Julia and possibly Allie and Jennifer, movie with KC; then friday continue packing, and leave. The end.

Wow, so this is finally it. It's so amazing. I never thought I would actually make it through King's and all the way to college. But I did it... So here I go, ready to spread my wings, fly, and hope to God that those wings work or I will at least find a soft landing...

See you on the other side!

My new sophisticated "College Student of Chapman University" side that is... ;)

Luvsss <3 
kenzie.

P.s. sorry that wasn't really short. short is a relative term for me ;)
