Name: sherri
Interests: My head rests amongst the clouds. I admire my natural high. I know what matters most to me in life, for they aim to bring out the best in me. Writing is my best weapon against the failures I can't control in life. Xanga is my gun.. my words trigger the bullets. I kill to make love, not war. And you are my only witness.

| You know it's been said that we just don't recognize the significant moments of our lives while they are happening. We grow complacent with ideas, or things or people and we take them for granted and it's usually not until that thing is about to be taken away from you that you've realized how wrong you've been that you realized how much you need it, how much you love it.
And once you lose yourself you have two choices; find the person you used to be or lose that person completely. Because sometimes you have to step outside of the person you've been and remember the person you were meant to be, the person you wanted to be, the person you are.
Because it's only when you're tested that you truly discover who you are. And it's only when you're tested that you discover who you can be. The person that you want to be does exist, somewhere in the other side of hard work and faith, and belief and beyond the heartache and fear of what life has.
There are moments in our lives when we find ourselves at a crossroad, afraid, confused, without a roadmap. The choices we make in those moments can define the rest of our days. Of course when faced with the unknown, most of us prefer to turn around and go back.
But once in a while people push on to something better. Something found just beyond the pain of going it alone and just beyond the bravery and courage it takes to let someone in. Or to give someone a second chance. Something beyond the quiet persistence of a dream.
At this moment there are 6,470,818,671 people in the world. Some are running scared. Some are coming home. Some tell lies to make it through the day. Others are just now facing the truth. Some are evil men, at war with good. And some are good, struggling with evil. Six billion people in the world. Six billion souls. And sometimes -- all you need is one.
Ida Scott Taylor once wrote: Do not look back and grieve over the past, for it is gone; and do not be troubled about the future, for it has not yet come. Live in the present, and make it so beautiful that it will be worth remembering.

| So I've recently applied for colleges. (How foreign that sounds to me). Seriously, the way time seams to pass when you live in the moment. I dont know what to expect. For so long, we all waited until this moment; when we finally leave highschool. I'm growing up. I need to acknowledge that.
In just a few months, I will be turning 18. Graduating. I will decide on what college to attend. The ample amount of faces to meet, old aquaintances to greet. Leaving highschool. Time goes by without wait.
Then I contemplate these past 17 years. My accomplishments. College apps don't acknowledge the amount of knowledge I've acheived through life itself. All they've shown me is the ability for me to leave my head in the clouds, rather than in the books. I wish I'd realize the consequences earlier in life, while I was doodling on my notepad or writing a love letter to my significant other... for all those years.

| Who are you to judge the life I live?
I know I'm not perfect, and I don't live to be.
But before you start pointing fingers
Make sure your hands are clean

I believe the Lord is an artist
And I thank him for every beautiful portrait.<3 | | |
| Because
behind closed doors
privacy can not exist
in a room with walls and windows
for the walls are too thin
our voices too thick
and through these windows
the world does watch | | |
