Antibes
Fuzzy socks, hot coffee, and warm blankets.
Nights spent cuddled by the fire,
sharing memories to remember for a lifetime.
Hayrides, sugar rushes, and oversized hoodies.
Smashing pumpkins with baseball bats,
and giving candy out to little kids.
The leaves changing from green to orange,
with the anticipation of holidays to come.
Autumn days spent exploring new areas,
and autumn nights spent with the ones I love most.

Morning On The Seine 2
Sitting alone on the edge
Looking into the eyes of a reflected self
Listening to the birds chirp,
and feeling the wind sweep across your skin
Closed eyes, closed world
The excitement of our surroundings, is determined
By the limits of our imagination,
and the passion in our hearts
To live in the moment, when all is quiet
And to be quiet, when all is chaos.

Window Poem

Sitting on the wooden floor, resting my head on my knees, my gaze ventures out my window. I watch as the wind makes the grainy sea of grass dance, making ripples appear as the direction changes.
Like an island in the middle of the see, a single willow tree rests. As it sways back and forth, I notice something huddled underneath, small and round. I am barely able to see the rise and fall of the fawn’s chest, sleeping without a worry in the world. How I wish I could do the same.

As morning arrives, I watch the sunrise and cast a golden glow onto the already golden sea. My thoughts begin to slow and I leave my spot and return to the warmth of my bed.

"Reely" Good Quotes






"Reel" Life


  1. My most favorite movie would have to be I Am Legend. From the first time I watched it when I was around eight, all the way up to now, I still am in absolutely love with that movie. I don’t really know exactly why I love it so much, but I have a thing for more serious, intense movies. The great thing about I Am Legend is that it makes you laugh, cry, and jump in fear all within the time span of a couple hours.
  2. The type of movies that I absolutely hate would be comedy movies; movies that are produced with a comical intention. Those movies are never funny to me, well, almost never funny to me. I do enjoy Dumb and Dumber, White Chicks, and a couple other stupid movies, but for the large majority, I can go without. The reason for my hatred of these movies is due to the fact that because they try to be funny, they are never funny. My sense of humor is more sarcasm and irony with a twist of darkness rather than laughing at some guy running face first into a wall on purpose.
  3. I used to watch movies daily when I was in middle school. Both of my parents are big movie buffs and love to wind down with a different movie every night, so I used to join them. Even back when I did watch movies all the time I never really went to the movie theater, most of my watching took place either at home or a friend’s house. The only time I ever see a movie in theaters is if I am actually genuinely intrigued by the trailer and want to watch the movie. Most of the time I’d rather stare at a wall than watch a movie, I don’t know why.
  4. I used to watch the same movie literally fifteen times in a row and never get tired of it, and I would watch movies for hours by myself. Now, I rarely want to watch a movie and when I do I have to have someone with me or else I will want to quit watching it half way through. Whenever I go to the movie theater I like to get some kind of sour candy, and popcorn and a drink. I love getting for at the theater.
  5. The survey said I was extraverted, agreeable, conscientious, emotionally stable, and open to new experiences.
  6. If my life story was made into a movie I would want actresses who look like me at the varying stages of my life and are able to act with real emotion. The beginning would start with my life in Kansas, and then my middle school years, high school years, and then my early life. Hopefully the ending would be happy.

2. Raising teenagers is hard, but sometimes parents do more harm than good for their child. Three tips that I would give parents about teenagers is: one, the stricter the parent, the sneakier the kid is going to become (trust me I know from experience.) Also the more strict the parent is, the higher the chance of their teenager rebelling. Two, do not show that you don’t trust your kid unless they have given you a reason to not trust them. Not knowing why your parent doesn’t trust you really sucks. And three, being a more open minded parent and being level headed with your child will increase the chances of your teenager opening up to you.
4. I think a lot of parents are guilty of “do as I say, not as I do,” and there are definitely two sides to that saying. From the parent’s point of view they expect their child to do everything that is said to be done and to not question it. Well, telling a kid that smoking cigarettes is extremely bad for you isn’t very moving when the parent is lighting up in the middle of their inspirational speech. Children focus much more on the actions of their parents rather than the words of their parents. Telling a child to not do something while you openly do it in front of them, doesn’t have much power. But I understand the point of view of the parents; parents just want their kids to grow up happy and healthy, even if they were unable to. So to say that it is unfair for a parent pull the whole “do as I say, not as I do,” is a bit unfair in itself since everyone deals with bad habits and issues.

6. That I can remember, I have never been in a situation where I didn’t think I could handle the truth, but I have definitely been in a situation where I thought the other person couldn’t handle the truth. Being truthful is huge to me, so for me to not be 100% with someone is very hard for me to do. But in the situation where I wasn’t sure if the truth was the best option at the time, I chose to hide it, and not tell the truth, and I hated it. I hate lying, and especially to those closest to me, but I do it when necessary, and only to protect those who I care for.
7. I don't believe that you can know in three days if you love someone or not, but I'm also an eighteen year old girl. I truly don't think it is possible to discover enough about someone over a three day period to say that you would be willing to spend the rest of your life with that person. I will use a very basic example, someone with anger issues. You could be dating for months and not find out that the person you are with has severe anger issues until it is too late. People are able to hide the nasty parts of themselves pretty easily, and it takes time to uncover the whole picture.
