I am from the stars,
that twinkle as we dance beneath them,
I am from the summer breeze,
and swimming in the blackness of the night sky.
I am from the paint brushes and pigtails,
I am from the lonely evening walks, and sunsets.
I am from the ocean.
salty hair,
and sandy toes.
I’m from the nutella nights,
party lights,
and fuzzy pijama pants.
I am from your rough hands,
entwined with mine.
but mostly,
i am sculpted an molded and shaped,
by the people i surround myself with everyday.

Article title: What is Borderline Personality Disorder
What is borderline personality disorder? BPD (Borderline Personality Disorder) is a mental illness in which causes unstable moods, behavior, and relationships. Some people can have such a severe version of BPD that doctors have said BPD can even be connected with larger, more serious mental illnesses.
Some symptoms of BPD, according to www.nimh.nih.gov are, “Problems with regulating emotions and thoughts, impulsive and reckless behavior, and unstable relationships with other people.” People with BPD also seem to have side effects such as depression, anxiety, eating disorders, and suicidal thoughts and/or actions. This illness is not easily preventable but is easily treated with antidepressants.
This article didn’t have a bias and kind of just threw the facts out there without a personal opinion. But after asking my mom what she thought about this she and I both agreed that it is very upsetting to hear that people can become so unhappy, and we hope that sooner or later there will be a safe treatment for everyone in need of one, no strings attached.

Article: Days later, no sign of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370
Author/ date: By Saeed Ahmed Mon March 10, 2014
Its been three days since Malaysia Airlines aircraft ‘vanished’ and many people around the world are beginning to worry. Approximately 227 passengers and 12 crew members were aboard flight #370 when it left for Beijing but did not land.
Reporters have found out that investigators had many leads to this mystery that ended up leading nowhere. Although investigators also found out that there where at least two men on the plane that had used stolen passports to enter, causing some suspicions as to what might have happened. These men’s backgrounds will be further investigated and try to be connected with terrorist attacks or backgrounds, but for now this investigation is going nowhere.
I have asked Jordan Lopez what he thinks about this tragic event and he says, “I think it is some sort of conspiracy and the passports were stolen over two years ago, so there had to be some thought put into this potential attack. Also, there was the massacre in China where 29 people were killed by terrorists and it may be all related.” And I have to agree with him on this one, but I also believe that this could well be a sign that a larger terrorist attack is being planned.
come on now,
lets take flight,
and talk for a while.
come on now,
hold my hand ,
and make me smile.
brush off yesterdays pain,
and stay for a while.
come on now,
lets meet by the lake,
let the moon illuminate,
the space between us.
whisper in my ear,
tell me you care.
come on now,
don’t let this moment end.
a lack of color
a lack of blood
a lack of life
a lack of light.
a lack of breath emerges,
the grey smoke,
streaming from your grey lips,
swirls around the grey air,
and fades into the grey sky. Continue reading
Diets. What most of us think of are strict programs that determine what and when we eat. What about our weekend pleasures? After reading CNN’s article on diets, posted by Jacque Wilson, studies show that weekend indulgences will not effect long term weight loss.
Studies show that out of an average of 80 adults, weighing themselves everyday for one month, their highest gaining days were Sundays and Mondays, but throughout the week the extra weight was worked off. With this study, each weekend the participants were given the opportunity to indulge, even on their diets. Continue reading

Have you ever watched a show where the words of the character are not in sync with his lips? It can be very aggravating and irritating for the viewer, but for some autistic children, this seems to be normal. Continue reading
Rosalie Turner, Diary entry 4:
Once again, this bubbling feeling of annoyance rises like a pit in my heart. I cant help but want to understand why.
There is so much on this earth that I will not understand, and I do not intend on understanding them, yet I feel the need to know why you long to make me feel invisible. You are my sanity. I don’t expect you to realize this but I could go to you with anything and everything you would have an answer for me. Maybe though, I have been colorblind to the truth. Maybe this friendship only went one way. I can now see with raw eyes how much effort I’ve been putting into something so hopeless.
Your words are always short, bitter, and hurtful. Maybe I am a fool for wishing that you actually cared, maybe I am a fool for wanting this friendship, maybe I am a fool… but are you aware the shape you’ve put me in? I’ve used all my words to fight. I’m tired of fighting. I’m tired of trying to understand.”
I’m weary, yes. Its time to accept, but not to understand. I may never understand why, but it is like I am losing a part of me, so yes, I will let you leave. I do not expect you back.
