rip.

in order for muscles to grow first they must rip. the ripping process is excruciatingly painful. sore everywhere, sore everything. just like your muscles do, so does your heart sometimes... sometimes it takes a good ripping to grow... how do you really know love if your heart hasn't been broken. even though it hurts to rip... just remember opposition is in all things... even love.

today.

today is yesterdays tomorrow and tomorrows yesterday. we only get one today, and then it's gone. it's funny how we take so much time for granted... everything has an end, and even though it's hard to think about we all die. we are all dying. funny concept, we live to die. don't regret not living your today's to their fullest. today is today, and you've gotta live it or it's gone before you know it.

speak.

sometimes it's hard to speak up. it's hard to be the one that has to tell the truth. but don't let that stop you. find your voice, whether it be through dance, song, poetry, or anything that is truly you. let your voice be heard. speak up so everyone can hear. your voice is worth listening to. all you've got to do is speak.




i've decided to start speaking in a new way. check out my new poetry blog at www.lululyaspeaks.blogspot.com

happen.

popular topic of the week... love. how do you know when you truly feel it? i can honestly and completely tell you that i have no idea. i've heard it's alot of pure compassion and self sacrafice. don't get me wrong every one feels love with family... but when that somebody happens love gets exploded to a whole new level no one can really explain... simply unexplainable. i bet its a great feeling... be excited for it. but don't dedicate your whole life to the search. just let it happen.

different.

i am a different person than i was. i've changed alot. it's weird growing up... but everybody has to grow up sometimes. i remember a time when i was ten and i lay in bed and said i never want to grow up, i want to stay a kid forever. well ten is long gone, and childhood is disintegrating... being a grown up is sometimes a scary thought. but it's different. and i'm ready to embrace the difference. bring it on.

print.

it's time to make your print on the world... what are you going to do to leave a legacy? are you going to be the one that no one can forget or the one who's name is never remembered... keep tabs on everything you do... for positive or negative you are making a difference in the world... so try to make your print count.

end.

it is officially the beginning of the end... everything i do from this point is the last time i will do it... the last summer band, the last parade, the last fall concert... part of me is okay... but the other is realizing that i have been a part of something that is now ingrained into my heart and soul, and that is going to be hard to walk away from.
