Nathan Angelo - - Someday Soon





Something tells me I’m not getting younger,
As time blows by like the wind.
Cause in my chest my heart is beating faster,
As I wonder where and when.
Will she come catch my eye,
Step in to my life.
I don’t know how it will be,
But here’s my word tonight.

(Chorus)
I will love you more,
Than the ocean loves rain.
I will be your strength,
Even in the pain.
And our love will grow,
Every morning, night, and noon.
Oh, but until then,
I’ll wait for some day soon.

There’s a lot things I want to tell you,
About the future that’s in store.
For raising a family,
Where we’ll pass our love to.
A new life an open door.
But I know there will come a day,
When nothing’s going right.
And I’ll take your hand in mine,
And walk you through the night.

(Chorus x1)

Will she come take my breath,
And knock me off my feet.
As worlds collide,
And souls inside finally meet.

I will love you more,
Than the ocean loves rain.
I will be your strength,
Even in the pain.

Dear Me....

Dear Me,
        I know I have been so much harder on you than I should have been. I have a tendency to put other people's hearts ahead of yours. I quiet you when you try to tell me that you are hurting. And I bring people back into your life that, sadly, I know will hurt you again. I don't always listen to what it is you really need to make your soul smile. I let the negativity that other people allow in their own lives, seep into your mind. And I let it work against you. I don't give you the credit for all of the truly amazing things you do. Instead, I focus on all of the "mistakes" you've made... all of the things you could have done better. Instead of letting you follow your own heart and dreams, I let other people create dreams for you. I keep you from trusting and following your own heart. I have tried to change who you are for other people. I am your worst critic. When in fact, I should be your biggest supporter. Bottom line, I haven't been loving you the way I should. 
         I want you to know that: YOU are loved. YOU are amazing. YOU deserve to be happy. YOU deserve to smile more than you cry. YOU deserve people in your life that will put in as much as you do. YOU are enough.

Always Blushing,
♥

Michael Bublé - Haven't Met You Yet [OFFICIAL VIDEO]

I'm not surprised, not everything lasts
I've broken my heart so many times, I stopped keeping track
Talk myself in, I talk myself out
I get all worked up, then I let myself down

I tried so very hard not to lose it
I came up with a million excuses
I thought, I thought of every possibility

And I know someday that it'll all turn out
You'll make me work, so we can work to work it out
And I promise you, kid, that I give so much more than I get
I just haven't met you yet

I might have to wait, I'll never give up
I guess it's half timing, and the other half's luck
Wherever you are, whenever it's right
You'll come out of nowhere and into my life

And I know that we can be so amazing
And, baby, your love is gonna change me
And now I can see every possibility

And somehow I know that it'll all turn out
You'll make me work, so we can work to work it out
And I promise you, kid, I give so much more than I get
I just haven't met you yet

They say all's fair
In love and war
But I won't need to fight it
We'll get it right and we'll be united

And I know that we can be so amazing
And being in your life is gonna change me
And now I can see every single possibility

And someday I know it'll all turn out
And I'll work to work it out
Promise you, kid, I'll give more than I get
Than I get, than I get, than I get

Oh, you know it'll all turn out
And you'll make me work so we can work to work it out
And I promise you kid to give so much more than I get
Yeah, I just haven't met you yet

I just haven't met you yet
Oh, promise you, kid
To give so much more than I get

I said love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love
(I just haven't met you yet)
Love, love, love, love
Love, love
I just haven't met you yet

Pictures.... pictures.... and more pictures...

           So, I get ragged on for taking so many pictures in life. I am going to let you in on a little secret... Growing up I was really gawky. Taller than all the other girls and the boys. I was super thin as a child. I had these huge eyes that seemed to pop right out of my head. Big feet. Long lanky arms and legs. I felt so awkward in my own skin. I was always so envious of all of my sisters. Especially my older sister Amelia. She was/is what I considered beautiful to be... beautiful dark eyes. She had this gorgeous long brown hair. Oh, how I wanted to look like her. I wanted to have these dark dramatic eyes. I wanted to look EXACTLY like her. I always looked (and still do) up to her... even when I grew taller than her, I still looked up to her. She was my "Amy". My big sister. My best friend. To this day, I still see her as a true beauty is. The main difference between then and now, is that now I realize that there is more than one type of beauty. The amazing thing is that the more I open my own ♥ to see the true beauty in others, the more I can see the beauty that lies inside of me. I think that if we, as a society, would focus more on what truly lies inside of each and everyone of us... if we focus on who we are on the inside, rather than what we are on the outside, we would all live so much more peacefully. External beauty last for but a short while.... the true beauty that lies inside ones heart, if it is genuine, will last a life time.  We all are as different as the colors of the rainbow... and then some. Lets focus on what really matters... lets focus on the soul.


         Back to my initial point... I am always getting ragged on for taking so many pictures. And, I guess one of the reasons I take pictures so often is because I have finally grown to really, honestly love the person that I am. Thats not to say there aren't things that I would like to change... there are many things that I am working on to make myself a better person. But, at this moment in time, I feel, not just comfortable with who I am, but happy with just being me. I am not trying to change to fit a certain mold. I am just working on developing myself. And it is an amazing feeling. I have so much fun being silly in front of the camera. And, to actually like what I see when I look at a picture, well, that is a big thing for me. I went from being a really thin child to over weight for the past 6 years. I have been working really hard to get to a place in my life where I feel comfortable looking in the mirror. But, I have noticed, that more I accept me for me; despite all the "flaws"... the more I can see the beauty within. I recently did a photo shoot and when I took a look at the pictures last night I was a little bummed. I started picking at every little "imperfection". Every little area that "should" be better. I took a moment. Closed my eyes. Took a breath. Opened my eyes and tried to focus on the beauty from within. And, YES, it is not only ok, but in my opinion, completely necessary to be able to see the beauty that lies within yourself... And once I did that, I was able to stop criticizing myself. Anyways... I ♥ the photos. And am so excited about the next few shoots that I have coming up!

What is L*O*V*E?

            Working on a new project... really excited about it.  If you could use one word to describe love, what would it be?
