If it wasn’t so cold, I would probably decide to go for a hike up Hixon Forest today. I don’t even know what came over me, but I have the biggest urge to go.

Annabel Lee
Edgar Allan Poe
It was many and many a year ago,
In a kingdom by the sea,
That a maiden there lived whom you may know
By the name of Annabel Lee;

In this kingdom by the sea,
But we loved with a love that was more than love—

I’m overwhelmed. To say the least.
“And in that moment I refused to close my eyes anymore.”
Thought I finally had a grip, and I wound up bawling in front of my friends. Cute.
That's right. →
Recorded college auditions: check. Established a new voice teacher: check.
Hey, life! Got any more curveballs you wanna throw at me? If you think you can hold me down, you’re only fooling yourself.
Life is hectic!
As wonderful as our Thanksgiving Break was, Winter Beak blew it out of the water. I spent a week with all of my best friends and my boyfriend, reconciled with someone I thought I would never be able to look eye to eye with again and lost my private vocal instructor. Some parts of the past ten days sucked, and at points I hurt more than I ever thought I’d be able to. I think...
