Dear Mr && Mrs Smith

You give me life.

I know that you birthed me, mom, but the two of you literally keep me going. You’ve instilled in me the values I now hold and have perfected for myself.

Mom- you taught me how to carry myself as a lady. Everything I believe about women and femininity came from you. Self confidence Is something you exude and I find comfort in knowing that even if I tried, I’ll never be as good as you. You are the best mother who has ever lived. YES you get on my nerves lol but you’re so loving. You’ve sacrificed so much just to see us all smile, and I cannot tell you how appreciative I am of your selflessness. I got my voice from you. With You each day is a song I want to keep on repeat. You’re always encouraging, always smiling, and always always there. Thank you.

Pops- gosh..it’s been a long ride. Each time I think about how far we’ve come, I just want to cry. I can think of all of the times I didn’t have a word to say to you. I can think of the times when I wished you were gone and then, when you did leave…I couldn’t think of anything but clicking my heels three times so that you could come home. I’m so glad we’ve strengthened our relationship. From the way you’ve treated me, I never want to settle for a guy who does less for me than you do. I deserve the very best, you taught me that. But you’ve also given me my sense of humor and ways of thinking. My entire personality comes from you. ­­­­­Ive learned forgiveness from you, and tons and tons of bible scriptures lol You’ve always appreciated my art, and made me feel like I was the smartest kid to have ever lived.

Together, you were the perfect parents. You were counselors, protectors, and friends. I couldn’t have asked for more…and I wouldn’t dream of asking for someone different. The Lord knew exactly what he was doing when he made you two my parents. Thanks for loving me and taking me as I am. I know I’m a bit much haha but you just…gosh. Idk lol no words can sum it up.

Just, thank you.

Love, 

your oldest daughter from the second set // princess lol

Dear Crush

...I don't have a crush. I always think about who I'll end up liking though

He didnt’t really have a shape or color but

He loves me to pieces

His arms were strong enough to hold me

Smile bright enough to light up my day

Smart enough to stump me

I examined him like a spectacle

He would be my miracle

My Gabriel

I would steal him back from the sky if heaven tried to rob him from me

Tear apart the clouds until I retrieved my king

And parade my prize throughout the streets

Hoping he’d remember me

Anything …from this moment

In my daydream…

I placed two palms on either side of his face

Expanding my hands like wings

Across the clear sky that engulfed us

And cuffing air so I could retrieve it when I had lost my breath

holding that position for a second -thinking “remember me”

he would string stars together to form my essence

I would kiss his fingertips so that

When he pointed, it would be in my direction

Always …always following my scent to lead him home

The haven I had prepared for him

 He told me he’d set out to find me

Sift through hundreds of mini skirts to find my jeans

Never stopping until his hand settled into mine

Until he could recognize my voice within miles

Until he was right there by my side

So here I am waiting

Not filling his void with some undeserving sap

But still,

With each guy I think it’s him

And I’m always a little disappointed when it isn’t

But ever so optimistic for the day when

he’ll ask me where I’ve been

I know it’ll happen but until then

I’ll be dreaming of him

<3

Hopeless Romantic much? lol
It's cheesy, I know. But I always think about the person God will send to me. I love HARD!! lol So, if I dont exactly come off as a warm person, just know that for whatever reason, I feel like I have to guard my heart and all of my emotions to prevent being hurt again. I understand that now im not just talking about a crush, but rather the person i'll end up marrying but that's how serious it is to me. Dont get me wrong, I'm content with being single. I believe the Lord will have you do things in your singleness to glorify him that you cant quite do in a relationship. && Likewise, in a relationship, there are things the two of you can do that you wouldnt have been able to do apart. So, I dont mind being single one bit. It doesnt hurt to give thought to the dude who'll steal your heart away though :)

Having a crush would be cool....
