About Me

My photo
Milwaukee, Wi
hi, i'm Rachel. i'm almost nineteen years old and i'm a college student living in Wisconsin. i don't like it here, but i love Milwaukee. i want to make music someday, along with leaving the country. i'm slowly figuring everything out, and i try to look at the good in things and people. i'm a clutz, i tend to swear too much, and i never get enough sleep. this blog's a bit personal, but it's kinda what keeps me sane. read away, if you'd like.

insert love quote here

You may not be her first, her last, or her only.
She loved before she may love again.
But if she loves you now, what else matters?
She's not perfect - you aren't either,
and the two of you may never be perfect together
but if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice,
and admit to being human and making mistakes,
hold onto her and give her the most you can.
She may not be thinking about you every second of the day,
but she will give you a part of her that she knows you can break,
her heart.
So don't hurt her, don't change her,
don't analyze, and don't expect more than she can give.
Smile when she makes you happy,
let her know when she makes you mad,
and miss her when she's not there.

And as i walked,

i decided to give myself some reasons
to get over change
and keep a kind heart
and live easy
cause i've needed a chill pill for quite some time

time.. yeah
the whole idea of time pisses me off
we all waste, lose, give, sell time
like it's nobody's business
but if i'm not worth someones time,
then i guess it's their loss?
that's how i like to see things
yeah yeah head high, heart heavy

i really have no element to this
i'm just bored, but content
sometimes i worry about the future
but then my mind just kinda slips past it
that characteristic will cause me some trouble someday
but hey, i know a good tune when i hear one
and i know how to laugh, and listen, and just be
i thought that was good enough?
i also know how to ramble
currently doing it, my apologies

it's just that i have so many thoughts in my head
but when i try to lay them all down they're in a different language
i just wanna mend that gap
the one between my mind and lips
i'd probably save myself alot of trouble, effort, and time
fuck time, and loss, and sorrow
and doubt, and insecurities
even though they get the best of me

but it's whatever, everythings really whatever
i've been stuck in this dead room all day
i don't even think there's anyone in this tower
and i've been just swell all day

living life and feeling free,
isn't that how it's supposed to be?

final note,
i need warm weather
sunshine is literally my drug
ready to jump onto a new wave of happiness
who's coming with?
hope everyones ready,
peace

Hello, how are you, like your shoes, love your hair

i just really want new people in my life
just simply genuine people, do those still exist out there?

 i want someone to stick around for once
and take a wrong bus with me, just to find the way home by foot
or just ask me what my story is, cause nobody here knows

i keep telling myself that the best is yet to come.. but is it really?
i am unbelievable sick of waiting around
but right there, that's just it,
why do i keep expecting everything to just, fall into place?
cause life's not that easy for anyone, even though it may seem that way
life's like an hourglass glued to a table, and i'm done wasting time
nobody's gonna show up and tell me how to get what i want
i have to learn to be satisfied, and fearless, and alone, and natural
and once i fully grasp that i think i'll see some changes
i am so ready for change.
i am so ready to start doing things differently.

it's absolutely beautiful out today
and i get to see my sister
and tomorrow night starts the weekend
and now i'm in a great mood

i'm all smiles today

"Things" don't change,

...we change.

hours to waste turns into full weeks, 
then months, then into me
 a life long disease
the gray in your hair still means hope for me
that beauty won’t be hidden easily
that truth could still hold true for me

and you, i’m missing you
 i don’t want to, but I will
see the gray in your hair, angel
your beauty can’t be covered by insecurity
i hope the same truth would still hold true for me
cause i drowned in mine.

enough said, basically.
you cannot find yourself, within yourself
let me know when you want to step outside
i'll meet you there.

You know those surreal moments?

i dont know if its just me, if i'm crazy, or if i just live in my own world
but its moments like today that i appreciate the most
where i step back and realize the simplicity of life
and the beauty of death
everythings so easy once you get on a new level
everything looks perfect from far away

i couldn't look at the pictures of you
or plaster on a fake smile and shake strangers hands, no no
no i am not okay, i had to walk away
i found a small empty room down the hall
full of windows, pretty natural lighting
and i just, sat there
thinking, reminiscing, crying, questioning, clenching, loving
hating, regretting, and loving again

i should have visited you more, im sorry
last time i saw you i rubbed your bald head, kissed your cheek
and whispered i love you
i cant complain about that being my final memory of you
i dont know how many times i heard today
"he loved you so much, you were his favorite"
he was my favorite, too.

but all i have left of you are a few worn out photos,
and i can hear your voice inside my head
i hope it never leaves..
i already miss you
i miss you is not enough

i'll meet you at the pearly gates
all of my love;
