There is a lot on my mind, a lot that has been weighing down on me for a very long time. There is no real words to describe what I am feeling, so I'm attempting to show all of this in a three to four part series of new deviations that I will be posting within the next few days or so. No, they will not be happy, yes they will be dark and yes, I am utterly ashamed of every word I will write in them. This is not meant to worry anyone, it is not meant to make anyone feel guilty and it is not me begging for help or anything else. This is what I do, I write. Those of you who actually do know me will know how it is I work, and I am sorry for what I will be posting, I truly am. There are so many of you that have changed my life, keep my balanced on a daily basis and I feel like I have taken many of you for granted. To my friends and family, thank you, for sticking by me for so long, you truly do mean the world to me.

For what comes next, I don't know how they will look, or how they will change your perceptions of me, but all I ask is that you bear with me in my...moments of weakness, perhaps even in my moments of madness. I don't know what will happen tomorrow, the next day, or even a year from now, but all I can hope for, all that I pray for is that you all will still be by my side.

I love you, my friends, each and every one of you, from the bottom of my heart.

Holy SHIT it's been a long time since I wrote anything on here!

I'd say it's about time I actually started using DA again, don't you think?
Now that I've finally come to terms with a couple of things in my life I'm DONE with sitting around waiting for something to happen. My desire to write has finally returned and in full force; no more months upon months with no ideas, this time there's no stopping me! Lyrics, poems, maybe even a short story or two, you can be sure this poor desolate page is gonna get jumpstarted again; hell I'm working on something as I type this!

So until next time my friends, keep the spirit alive, keep on doing the amazing things you do and most of all...

ROCK ON!

Well, college is a pain, but I love it so~
I'm taking an AMAZING Psychology class this quarter, and it's unlocked my writing potential in a way that I never had before. I'm excited about a lot of things again, and for once I'm actully feeling...happy. It's slow steps for sure, but I am working on making my life better, one thing at a time.

It's been a long time since I've posted anything, or even really bothered to thank all of you who cared enough to follow me in the first place. As far as things stand I am indeed still writing, but mostly for my still-forming band, Stained Glass Bullet. Being a freshman in college I find so little time to really calm down and let anything just flow, so many of the song I have written lately feel forced, strained to put pushed out simply for the sake of doing SOMETHING. That is what I had hoped to avoid from day one, so now I realise that I may not have as much hope as I once did in my ability to make this work, let alone anything else in my life.

I know it sounds childish, probabaly even naive, but I hate feeling this alone.
The feelings I once had are gone, and I've put an unhealthy amount of time into trying to regain those feelings, by any way I can. I've lost any kind of concept of what the feelings of love really are, or what it even means to love someone the way I once did. My heart hesitates and fails when I try and reciprocate the feelings and desires that it once so easily shared with so many of the people around me. Until I can find the meaning in the heart again it remains frozen inside of me, waiting to be awoken once again. I don't know how long that will take, if ever at all but I still hold on to the hope that despite all the things I cannot comprehend there is still a reason to believe in love, of all kinds. Even now, there are only three people I can say "I love you" to, and know that there is meaning behind it for one reason or another.

To all my watchers, I have to thank you for the time you've been with me, following my quirky, sometimes pointless works that I seemingly throw out at random as I stumble through my daily life. Thank you for feeling the emotion I try and siphon off from this heart of mine and into my still fledgling works.

And to all my friends that deal with me on a daily basis, I thank you, from the bottom of my heart for dealing with all that I am, and strive to one day be.
