Pity is a strange feeling. It is so misleading. It whispers in one ear that you are sad and unfortunate. "Oh poor you!" While in the other it squeals, "What fun drama this is! Life would be so boring without some dashing man to cry about or to work at gaining with your charms."
Strange indeed! Pity is a clenching trap that is quite underestimated. The only guard against the like is a head on strait. Don't let the sweeping emotions blow you down, but rather brace yourself against them like a firmly rooted tree in the wind.

His Dark Eyes
Oh the sweet face with dark eyes. Like the map to the soul, so beguiling! What hides beneath that polite smile?
Oh misery and all it's friends; the long dark nights of crying yourself to sleep. Tears washing away the dreadful lust. For it is lust to want the happy fortune of an imaginary bond.
He does not love you. His eyes flicker over you, dead, lighting upon the small creature you should not envy. Oh how mislead were you. Yes it was his fault but more-so you yourself are to blame for creating him to be all that he was not.
You shall have your cry. Painful and tight the grip of hope on your heart and lungs, that steals your breath when his presence you feel. Poor unfortunate soul. But after a short while you will wake up and feel alone again like a fresh moist air after a quickening summer rain.
All seasons fade away, but it is your choice to keep on loving. Your choice alone.
Don't follow your heart for it knows nothing! It is only designed to make a decision based upon what you tell it. Following it will take you in a dizzying circle, without pity, waiting for you to snap out of it!
Return not into the keep of his eyes.
They are his stronghold, only to be let down by passionate feeling. Let him play about with the keys and fumble with the gate, but return not you to his stair. Don't fool yourself into thinking that is the kind of security you would want. And you are young. There are many more amiable men with much better respect for your goodness. Raise your expectations for yourself and you might be surprised!

Like a Box of Chocolates
Well life has been rather wild lately. I just spent the last two days helping out at Jed and Kendra's getting it ready for when they bring the baby home (which was tonight btw). And then I spent almost all weekend at the Hospital while Kendra was in labor. I didn't actually get to see the baby till Sunday after church... they named her Meadow Elizabeth. She was 7 lb. 15 oz. and 21 inches long and is absolutely adorable!! =D So soft and kissable. ;) I don't see how guys can resist the urge.. lol
I feel like I'm behind with all of my school and piano lessons and just all of life. I need to catch up. It's even harder now though because it's warm outside most of the time and that presents a whole new list of things to do. We have a really big garden to get ready... I hope we don't actually plant all of it cause that's a REALLY lot of garden to deal with. =/ That means a lot of watering, a lot of weeding, and a serous sunburn. ;)
I really think this summer is going to be a blast... Sandy's graduation party, and KC's... and all the Second Saturdays (I'm crossing my fingers.. I hope we have them)!!! a n d. . . mowing the lawn. There's just something about making a whole lawn of grass cut and trim... all the lines going in the same direction. Then there's the smell of the freshly cut grass. Yes, summer is good.
I have so many hopes and dreams for the future. So much ambition... I wish I could change things/people/myself... just make everything perfect, but I can't. So I am also learning patients and contentedness. Wait... wait.... and some more time goes by as I wait. I have a lot of time.
