"Sometimes you don't even know anything is changed, you think you're still you, and your life is still your life, but you wake up one day and look around, and you don't recognize anything. Not anything at all." / - Meredith Grey
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same, And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back. I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.

The Road Not Taken
Whose woods these are I think I know. His house is in the village, though; He will not see me stopping here To watch his woods fill up with snow. My little horse must think it queer To stop without a farmhouse near Between the woods and frozen lake The darkest evening of the year. He gives his harness bells a shake To ask if there is some mistake. The only other sound’s the sweep Of easy wind and downy flake. The woods are lovely, dark, and deep, But I have promises to keep, And miles to go before I sleep, And miles to go before I sleep.

Stopping By Woods On A Snowy Evening
One day, A sad day, I was walking home. I heard a voice, My fathers voice. He said, "Dear, You've been through enough of Hell, Let us go home," And he walked me through the pearly gates. The gates of Heaven.

The Only Thing
All I hear anymore is: I can't wait to get through this year. I can't wait for the school trip in May. I can't wait to start high school. I can't wait to start driving. I can't wait to go to college. I can't wait for this. I can't wait for that. Instead of wishing your life would co faster, slow down. Just live. Just breath. It can wait.

I Can't Wait
In times of grief you learn some things. Here are the things I have learned: 1) your life is not over because you have a bad day. And a bad day doesn't mean a bad life. 2) family may be all you have, but do not take them for granted because one day you'll wake up and they'll just be gone. 3) God has a plan. He has everything set out for you and even though you can't see it in this moment, everything is going to be okay. #3 is by far my favorite.

Things
My brain hurts as you wonder through it tonight You look lovely, you look happy But I wish you would leave so I could get some sleep

You
I want to hold you I want to kiss you In my arms I'll show you The place That will always Be empty Until You finally come home.

I Fell
I cannot explain the way my mind goes crazy around you. I cannot explain the way my heart races around you. All I know is since the day I met you my world has been upside down. But I guess I wouldn't want it any other way.
