Simply "say what you need to say "

I talk too much.
I say things that my mother would not approve of sometimes.
I'm a footinyourmouth kind of girl.
All this I have John Mayer to thank.

"It's better to just not talk and let people think you are stupid than to open your mouth and prove to people that you're stupid."

I DISAGREEEEEE!

His song simply says "say what you need to say"
How do you know if it's what you "need" to say, well if it's a strong enough statement,question,concern to be debated (to say or not to)  in yo pretty little head then it goes in the "need" category.
So when debating to say it or not
those lyrics pop in my head.
 therefor I say .


"It's better to say too much , then never to say what you need to say"
I'm the "too much" in the lyric. What I need to say comes in between all the other unnecessary crap that had nothing to do with what I wanted to say. oops.

 This isn't some sort of indirect advice for you to go tell that girl never to wear those shoes with that outfit. Then again, I'm not telling you not to either (;

however when someone says "ahh never mind!"
by all means. yell "SAY WHAT YOU NEED TO SAY"

If you're dying to tell him you like his eyes "even if your hands are shaking" .. say what you need to say.

If you're dying to tell her you're still in love with her "do it with your heart wide open" say what you need to say.

If you're dying to tell your best friend she has a booger in her nose.. .. yeah whisper that one..


that . is . all. (:

I know you're thinking of something you need to say...

Might not be great advice or even the brightest decision.

But from a free spirited 16 yr old girl to whoever you are.

Just..

SAY WHAT YOU NEED TO SAY.

Simply all the wrong places.

I read a book and in it a women describes how she was attending a wedding and saw how gorgeous the bride was & how everyone admired her beauty , her dress, her decorations. The bride took the compliments in all afternoon, flattered by all the kind words that were being said! Suddenly this women realises that she hadn't seen the groom this whole time, where was he? Why hadn't the bride invited him over to greet her guest with her? She scans around the room and finally spots the groom in a far corner looking down at his ring , crying and crying and the bride didn't even pay attention. She saw the scars on his hands and that is when she recognized him, the groom was Jesus.

This was all a dream, the women woke up & thought about why she had such a dream. Then she starts to pray & she says "God is that how you felt when I was looking for love in all the wrong places?"

& reading this ladies dream I'm thinking.... God is this how you feel , as I look for love in all the wrong places?

Am I looking for love everywhere else, rather than the one who's already vowed every vow to me? .. .

The simple kind of pure.

I have a ring on my left finger,
the only ring that has ever been put on there,
& I couldn't be more in love with what it represents.

Your ring finger is the only finger that has a vessel that runs straight to the heart
& that's why I believe this ring belongs there, because it symbolizes everything my young heart wants to keep.

Ever since I knew what a purity ring was , I always wanted one. Well I told my mother that if I could picture a man proposing to me , I always saw him taking off my purity ring & putting on the engagement ring.
So on my 16 birthday , i received the most meaningful ring that anyone could ever give me.

I went down to the back of my house where there is a tree  & in that same spot 4 years ago i spoke to a guy on the phone, a guy who just shook up my world more than i ever thought someone could..
"I don't believe in sex before marriage"
"You're super young, call me when you're a junior in high school & I bet you'll think differently."
4 years later , there I was & that's where I put on my ring, that's when in my head the same words that someone told me swifted through my mind "I make a commitment to myself, to God, to my parents , to my future spouse, to my future children that with God's grace, I will be sexually pure by practicing the virtue of chasity , and I will remain a virgin until the day I enter into the Sacrament of Marriage."...

They say it's almost impossible,
to follow all ancient ways.
Starting with working on the fields,
to only communicating by writing letters to the military base.
Call me unrealistic , tell me theres no such thing as living a young life with such restrictions.
I'm not going to say it'll be easy ,
much less encourage you to follow all my ways.
I too am nothing but a sinner,
 who's been tempted on weak days.
It's crossed my mind one two many times ,
of leaning the other way.
There's no doubt small mistakes have lead me now to a mind set,
 that can't be stray.
I can't deny that I am anxious to meet the man,
who will lay with me as we watch night turn in to day.
Repeat & defeat in unison each & everyday.
 Untill that day comes a long, 
my heart will stay on it's guard .
 Seeking from our devine,
I pray for this wisdom to speak & linger amongst many adolesence hearts like it did with mine.

Simply Solteros.

Solteros? mmmm. Means single.
What does single mean? FREEEEEEE!
 It was an I'm.single.lets.go.crazy.on.July4th.party.
Reason numero uno that I adore my class; any combination works.
Jessica Barker, Taylor Joyce, Drew Alley, Wyatt Barker & Drew Wilson.

We fought like crazy that's for sure, but we managed to find peace long enough to enjoy some fireworks. Then up to Virginia we went , riding in the back of the truck yelling & throwing are hands in the air as the truck flew dangerously up through the curves!..
continuously shouting...
"We're single, it's summer, we're sixteen, we're upperclassmen, we're FREE!"
over & over.... & over again.

For a moment, even if it was just for a night. Our heartaches,worries, stress, about screwing over, being screwed over, being lied to, or lieing to, feeling guilty, or being guilty, getting out of relationships or rushing into relationships, mistakes that followed us, mistakes that were bound to happen, regret,were thrown out the truck where we sat and into the mountains they went!

So there's to being hurt & hurting people to making stupid mistakes & to worrying about others.

Tonight we were selfish, full of vanity as we took the night in.

& we sang loudly all the waaaaaaaaaay home. (:

Thank you. Jessica Barker, Taylor Joyce, Drew Alley, Wyatt Barker & Drew Wilson
for celebrating our countries birthday & for unraveling the freedom in our hearts! We're now just as Free as our country. (:

In simple everyday places.

I went to work out & for a swim at our near by gym today, something very interesting happen to me while I was changing in the women's locker room. I was on my way out , when a little girl that I had never seen before walks in (I go there a ton so i know most people). Dripped in sweat carrying tight to her body her t-shirt, shorts , socks & shoes..she walks in slow & starts talking very quickly
"I've never been here before, I..I... I don't know what to do"
She had just got out of the pool. I slowly explained to her to shower , then change.
She refused to shower because she showered before she came... I thought oh well alright.

I figured there was something mentally wrong with her... then she continues to talk..

 "I'm 10 , Ill be 11 in a month, one foot is bigger than the other . You see when I was born my foot bended like this" & she stretched out her hand and bended it all the way back ... then I was sure she had some kind of defect because her hands were strange  & the way she carried herself in general wasn't in the norm. Either way, I don't know for sure, some people are just different.


She forgot to bring under garments , so I told her I'd dry her bathing suit & before I said anything else she snapped real fast..
"I have to use the restroom" & I said "okay go a head it will be ready when you come out" she just stared at me blankly, we were right next to the toilet stalls. I said "is everything okay" more blanks stares, i pointed to my left "right there" ...
"Oh..." she walks in  & comes right out. I help her change & I was thinking to myself about the conversation I had with my sister earlier about college & what we wanted to do with out lives..


"I like helping people, I always have. Maybe this is what I want to do , I want to help people." I thought silently.
I knew I needed to catch her name before she left..
So I said "Hey, what's your name?"
She looks up & says "I'm Natalie"
& that's when I was sure that this was a sign, I'm sure now, I want to go in to something that involves with helping people. I want to help, I want to interact with new people , especially children.

Thank you God for showing me directions in the least expected places!
