They say that things happen for a reason ...
I took a mini-vacay to the ocean this past weekend. I love it there. I love the affect of the ocean on my overwhelmed nerves. Moments like those don’t happen very often, so I try to soak them up to the fullest extent. And when I do, boy, what a fine bath to bathe in. (xo Ali) :-)
On this particular trip, I discovered that I need to get away as much and as often as possible. I need to try to relearn myself and what I’m all about, because lately … I’ve been losing myself; losing my way. I’ve been spending too much time working around other people’s schedules, making sure that everybody else is ok, when I am not. And I did that, somewhat, on this “vacay” as well. But I learned what I do and do not want to do anymore … and that’s a lesson that I need to live by. I just gotta trust my heart, instead of my “infected (to an extent)” brain.
It’s destined to be. It’s all that I think about. It’s gonna hurt some people that I love, but if that is the price for my own happiness? Well, so be it.
SO. BE. IT.

Listen Louder
from the moment i turn the dial
til the time i turn it off
what's exuding in between
is some mind blowing stuff
it's a rhapsody of tunage
unlike anything you've heard
that renders your ears powerless
unable to deter
from the first strum of the guitar
to the last wallop of the drum
from your first glimpse of lyric
to the last verse of the song
it will take you on a journey
deep into your soul
rattling away the negativeness
that forever takes its toll
there are songs about change
and songs about love
there are songs about closure
songs about rising above
it's about finding a better version of you
not caring what 'they' think
because 'they' can't hear you anyway
over the thunder that 'they' make.
the next time they talk and talk and talk
and try to one up you with their 'power'
turn up the music in your soul full blast
and force them to Listen Louder

Twitter = L♥VE
So I've discovered that Twitter is one of the best ways to stay on top of anything that you're interested in.
I love music ~ Twitter has #MusicMonday
I love fashion ~ Twitter has tons of fashionistas that post millions of links
I love celebs ~ Twitter has some doozies on there ... and some of my all-time faves, like Soleil Moon Frye ♥♥♥ (I grew up with Punky Brewster) and Dax Holt from TMZ.
Plus, Twitter is like instant gratification. Refresh has become my friend over the past couple of months.
If you'd like to follow me, my Twitter address is: http://twitter.com/Angie_Stargazer
Take me as I am OR leave me the hell alone. Your choice. I will love you if you love me back :) I'm just that kind of girl.
xoxo,
Angie

Almost Like Drowning
busy
cluttered
suffocating
responsibilities
heavily-weighted shoulders
nighttime
pressure
tired eyes
darkness closing in
what is going on?
big wave
cold
downward spiral
thunderous silence
flush it all away
silt
bubbles
crashing
destruction
where am i going to go?
empty
alone
bare walls
muddy floors
where is all the "stuff"?
calm
exhale
peacefully quiet
completely still
it's almost like drowning
