City of Angels

"And I'd give up forever to touch you, because I know that you feel me somehow. You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be, and I don't want to go home right now."

When everything feels like the movies, it's hard to hold onto real life! It's hard to remember that in real life somebody doesn't just come up to you and say that you look lovely. In real life you don't just meet your true love and everything works out perfectly.

In real life you have to work hard to get what you desire and when you get what you desire, you have to work hard to keep it.

In real life, a girl can fall in love more than once a week... and at the end of the week realize that it was just a silly crush and that nothing will ever come of it. At the end of the week realize that all was just a made up dream of how something could have been, not of how it is.

In real life, a girl can create her own world inside her head, and if she spends too long in her own world, she starts confusing the two. That only creates problems! She can be so caught up in what she thought she saw, that when the real world hits her, it hurts.

In the real world, when you get hurt, it hurts. And it hurts for a long time.

In the real world, a girl meets a guy and the friendship grows over two to three years. In real life there is no such thing as a perfect moment. In real life things happen that take away the ones we love. In real life, life happens.

"When everything is made to be broken, I just want you to know who I am."

I know the world will never understand me. I don't want the world to understand me. I don't understand me. I just need the world to accept me for who I am. I need the world to realize that everybody can't be what the world wants them to be.

I need the world to understand that I don't feel the same every day. My opinions change over night. My crushes change over night and some take a year or two. My love for life never changes, it just hides sometimes.

I need the world to understand that we are just humans, made by God, who created us in His image. That doesn't mean we are anything like Him. We are not nearly perfect enough. And while humanity falls away, we will never come close to being anything like Him.

I need the world to open its eyes. I need the world to see. I need to take the pain away. I need to make sure everybody I know is happy and that they stay happy!

"I don't want the world to see me, because I know that they won't understand."
