100th post!

---OK, so i have been thinking about this post for a while, its supposed to be something special or something BEING POST 100.. but i really just couldn't decide what it should be about. so this is what i finally came up with. ---

My life, a whole 19 years 6 months and 7 days,

i am living, just as me, I'm breathing, I'm walking, I'm laughing, I'm running, I'm hurting, I'm loving, I'm smiling, I'm crying, I'm learning, I'm growing, but mostly.. I'm living.

my life is incredible, I'm not dying, I'm not crippled, i have all my senses, i have struggles, but everyone does, and in the whole scheme of things, everything is just not that bad when you look at the bigger picture,

in fact everything is pretty incredible.

 life is complicated.. its hard to get,

so I'm trying to understand the things i can.

 I'm accepting the things i cant,

 I'm changing what needs to be changed,

 and lm letting go the things that i have no control over.

 im just trying to be happy, and that is what i want for the whole entire world, is just to feel happiness radiating through their inards, everyone deserves happiness.

i love being me, i love my soul, i love feeling the way i feel, good and bad.

im embracing my flaws and my imperfections, i love my talents and accomplishments. and

even though things can be sticky.. instead of trying to clean the mess up right away.. i sort of want to play in it first!

We are More than We are, We are One.

As you go through life you ll see, there is so much that we.. don't understand..
And the only thing we know, is things don't always go.. the way we planned..
But you'll see everyday that well never turn away, when it seems all your dreams come undone. we will stand by your side, filled with hope and filled with pride,
We are more than we are, we are one.
If there's so much i must be, can i still just be me.. the way i am..
Can i trust in my own heart, or am i just one part.. of some big plan.
Even those who are gone, are with us as we go on, your journey has only begun..
Tears of pain, tears of joy, one thing nothing can destroy,
is our pride deep inside, we are one,
family, family, we are one. family, family, we are one.
We are one you and i, we are like the earth and the sky, one family under the sun..
All the wisdom to lead of the courage that you need, you will find when you see, we are one...

just one of those days. the down kind of days, i miss my dad.

 a revelation my mom had,

The lion king.

 i watched it over and over and over again from age 2 until age 6, my pet simba that my dad got me i took everywhere, and just now im piecing together that its MY story. i bawled when mufasa died at age four,

 and i bawled today as i watched it and thought of my own dad.

 "But dont worry daddy, Hakuna Matata is up soon".

Me and My Simba, Me.

He lives in you, in your relfection

he lives in me, in my relfection

Simba, you have forgotten who you are,

 and so forgotten me.

Taylor, you have forgotten who you are,

 and so forgotten me.

Look inside your self, you are more than what you have become.

you must take your place in the circle of life.

Remember who you are

Simba,                                                                                                                                                        Taylor,

you are my child,

and the one true king.

and the one true you,

 daughter of heavenly father.

daughter of my father.

remember who you are,

remember.

Its gotta be a good life...

Do a little something to make you feel happy

...

(this week i haven't been feeling... lets just say my typical optimistic self.)

knowing this i still did nothing to change my views, then i came across This post on This wonderful blog, and realized, life is good, nothings horrible, actually a lot of good things are happening so why be sour? why be down? just enjoy this time i have been given.

so... here's the small necessities that are making my life a good life:

Good books

cute boys

Laughing so hard i cant breathe

Grandparents

Parents

The Lion King

Compliments from strangers

Elephants

The colour Sea Foam Green

Music

The Carpenters

Prayers

&

words of Encouragement

What are the small

worth while necessities

 in your life?

Summers Must See's

My favorite movies this year..

Soul Surfer

Incredible story, pretty sure i cried, and it made me remember that someone always has it worse than me. " I don't need easy i just need possible" 

I loved it.

 Bethany Hamilton is such and amazing example and strong determined girl.

plus now i wish i could surf.

Water for Elephants

I cried 3 times during this movie, and now I'm pretty sure your thinking I'm a boob, but I'm not i promise, it was just really good, plus i love animals.

and Reese Witherspoon is so amazing and beautiful.

definitely a major role model,

but besides that the movie was just incredible!

Such good stories and life lessons, their just "make you feel good" movies, and I love getting out of my life for a little bit and being able to totally immerse my self into somebody else's story.

my life...

 has no meaning right now,

so why not watch movies for hours on end? 

I realize i need to be doing something all the time

or at least feeling needed or being thought about all the time,

otherwise... i feel like this..

totally bored.

Happy Summer Days[:

Song?
