I want to learn Icelandic, so I can sing to Sigur Ros.
I want to lay on my back and watch clouds all day.
I want to know everything there is to know about time.
I want to hold hands with someone and bungee jump.
I want someone to throw rocks at my window.
I want to watch people in hotel lobbies.
I want to be apart of something bigger than myself.
I want to drive for hours not knowing where I'm headed.
I want to forgive and be forgiven.
I want to find God.
I want there always to be music, I never want this track to end.
I want to find home.
I want to stop being afraid.
I want to stop wanting, and start living.

I'm Shelby and I like music, a lot.
I like art and book stores and people and politics.
I like pointless conversations and dark movie theaters and crosses on the side of the road and wondering what their story is.
I like listening to stories and shoes and learning new things.
I like thinking differently and ketchup and sweet tea and being surrounded by people all talking at once.

I do what I have to to get by, and hey, at least I exist.

I just took a moment to read through some of the comments on this blog and there are some things tugging on my heart tonight...

I am 14 years old, but I have lived a life of many hardships. I have stories that go on for days. I've seen my share of death. But for the first time I'm seing my share of life. I have seen more love these past few weeks than I have in a long time. It's been hard, but I'm learning to live with this life. I'm learning that there is beauty in the hardships. And for the first time in a long time I'm seeing the power of music really work in my life ad the lives of others. Today, I saw several wearing TWLOHA shirts and writing love on their arms and I want you to know that seeing these things made me realize that. There are so many intricate parts of my story I would love to be able to share openly with you. But today I'm not really ready for that. But I will be. And then I'll ask you to grab a coffee and just listen for a while.

Yesterday a good friend of mine completed his first week of detox. I am both proud and weary of this. I have know said person for over 4 years now and I cannot recall a time when he was not high. Now we're starting over. We have to relearn our friendship. But we have hope now. There is no more fear. Resentment. Anger. He has taken a lot from me and I'm not sure I'm ready to forgive and trust him again but I know that there is hope. So please keep him in your hearts, it's been very rough for all of us. But I know it will get better.

Heavy, heavy stuff. Sorry, haha.

If you know nothing else tonight, know that you are loved.
Your story matters.
You are not your desease.
It's not to late to turn this around.
There is hope.
You do not fit in the lines.
Just breathe. Relax. Enjoy the ride.

This is your life. Is it everything you dreamed of?

:iconkoriin:
Yes. I will DO that. :]

And he will be thoroughly creeped out, I'm sure. XD
:iconapparationsofmelody:
He likes the attention actually.
You intrigue him.
Besides, he's mad at me for talking about him. Which is stupid because he talks about me, lol.
