Words



this bitter earth, well, what fruit it bears
what good is love, that no one shares
and if my life is like the dust, that hides the glow of a rose
what good am I, heaven only knows

Lord, this bitter earth
yes, you can be so cold
today you're young, too soon, you are old

but while a voice within me cries
i'm sure someone will answer my call
and this bitter earth, may not be so bitter after all.

"You aren't going to be her first, her last, or her only. She’s loved before, she will again, but if she loves you now what else matters? She's not perfect. You aren't either, and the two of you will never be perfect. But if she can make you laugh at least once, cause you to think twice, and admits to being human and making mistakes, hold onto her and give her the most you can. She's not going to be thinking about you every moment, but she will give you a part of her that she knows you could break. Don’t hurt her, don’t change her, and don’t expect more than she can give you. Don’t analyze. Smile when she makes you happy, yell when she makes you mad, and miss her when she’s not there. Love hard when there’s love to be had."

My home has always been set in Orange County. I was born here, I grew up here, I live here. It might not have the excitement of a big city, which I do love, but it has a special place in my heart. Most specifically, I have lived all 20 years of my short life in Orange, the heart of Orange County. It's funny because not many people know the city; it's small but filled with whimsical charm. 


The Orange Circle is my favorite place to be where there are quaint antique shops and some of the best restaurants in town. It's also the home to the Street Fair (as shown above) where I love to get my hands on some Loukoumades and Gyros, yummmmm! If you were to wander its streets, you might recognize its park bench as the same one Tom Hanks sat on as he waited for a bus in Forrest Gump or even its Army Navy Store from That Thing You Do. Yep, it's quite famous!


I think that this quotation perfectly describes what my home means to me. I randomly stumbled upon it in a class I was taking in school. I will never forget Orange County no matter where I am in the world because it is my one and true love. 

"Where springtime always lingers, 

where winter never enters,

 and where the last rose of summer is never seen. 

Where rains fall gently and ocean winds breathe softly under the Western sky. 

In the glow of the setting sun, there is Orange County."

"Here is my secret. 
It is very simple: 
One does not see well but with the heart. 
The essential is invisible to the eye."

Make a plan.
Set a goal.
Work towards it.
But every now and then, look around.
Drink it in.
Cause this is it.
It might all be gone tomorrow.
