day has been great so far. Just wanted to tell that you that I’ve been praying that you end up believing me. I know that trust is everything to you, so after breaking it a first time, I never wanted to do it again. I wish I could tell you how those kids making fun of you got ahold of our conversation. After the first time i broke your trust, i promised you i wouldn’t break it again. I kept that promise but you don’t believe me. You chose to cut me off instead of actually having a talk over it like
I don't even know where to begin. You are the most ignorant person I have ever met. How can you keep doing this to us and think it's ok? Do you know the pain you are putting me through?

how to let go of someone I love. I truly love you Tyler and care about you so much, but we need to come to an end. Over the past month or so I have been questioning us but even more so myself.

It's because I'm afraid of what you will say. I'm afraid of you rejecting me. But I have to accept whatever it is. I swear if you answered me I would have told you everything. Straight from my heart one hundred percent honest. I'm going to try and tell you some of it now but I'll never be able to it would be way to long. I would rather you actually

Your mother isn't thinking straight. Are you talking
Diagnostic Essay Dance has always been my thing. Anytime someone asks me to share a personal fact about myself, I always say I do dance. I’m not the best out there, but it is my passion, and what I love to spend my free time doing. I spend a lot of time at the studio working to perfect my art; I’m the type of person who wants to be the best at everything I do. So for me learning about dancing is always a work in progress because you can never truly perfect it. Which means I have a hard time believing

What is truly so great about winter? The atmosphere changes, the spirituality really stands out due to Christmas and happiness is like

- Already? - It's all systems go. Everyone is happy and we're home-free. That is great news. What about recruitment and training? - I outsourced. It's all taken care of. - You're such an overachiever. Thank you. I'm glad I got through it. I was running around like a headless chicken. At some point I thought it'll never happen. - I'm sorry I've been missing in action. - Auntie... The truth is, I'm not coping by myself.

pizza, one might feel extremely cliché and basic. However, to me pizza is more than just food, it’s a small player in the attempt for world peace but nobody sees it that way. Personally I was introduced to pizza by my family at a young age because of my Italian background, but growing up, and after eating tons of slices of pizza I had a realization, that realization is that pizza is something almost everyone can agree on.

What defines me. Thats a hard question and I think it's supposed to be hard for a reason because if it was easy then everybody would know who they are without having the challenge or taking the yellow brick road to find their inner soul or the road supposed called “life.” It's supposed to be a challenge it's not supposed to be as easy as stepping over the bars it's supposed to be a struggle.
