Easy

Because it easy to just be a face in a picture
It is easy to let laughter become the cure
Easy to be in the background
Easy to put you aside
Easy to become numb
Easy to accept rejection
Easy to be passive
Easy to say, "fine"
Easy hold everything in
Easy to put on that mask
Easy to be apathetic
Easy because it is Easy

hasta la vista baby!

i am not the best at packing..............

brick wall or waterfall

Someone once said to me,"Not everyone is a brickwall like you, Erica."
and that is where i begin to think...you know the whole..people who don't show their feelings and blah blah have walls built up around them..
or they are "strong" and know how to put up a front..which can also represent the brick wall.
and well i'm not exactly the brick wall people think i am.
EVERYONE has brick wall and water fall moments in their life. Yeah most times i put on my smile face tough it out, but sometimes i breakdown and crumble and i believe that resembles a water fall.
now which ever one you tend to deal with more doesn"t really matter to me. It's the growth from there that makes the difference and improtance in your life. i truly believe we need an equal balance of both, no we don't need to hold everything in but we also don't need to just be emotional about everything....

because it is pain that we find out the meaning of life

Finding out what the heck life is is a waste of time.

There is so much to life from pain and sorrow to joy and happiness,

from the innocence of a simple kiss to the naughtiness of sleeping around.

Life.

not constant.

like a roller coaster.

keeps going........usually

you can't let it get you down

sometimes laughter will be the only cure

Life will be consistant change and knows how to knock you off your feet the miniute you begin to stand. It'll make you feel like you can't get close to anyone because later on in life that person might just hop right out of it, like nothing ever happened. Life brings lovely gentlemen and silly frogs into your life, who will break and shatter your heart, or make your heart truly happy.

Life will bring GREAT friends and then BEST FRIENDS into your life, some to stay for good and some just to stay for a season, and that is where my stuggle begins with life.....i hate getting so close for tons of years and then it just ends randomly, it sucks. legit.

I learned something from a recent show i did...

Clint: What's life?

Sally: A magazine.

Clint: How much does it cost?

Sally: 10 cents.

Clint: That's cheap.

Sally: That's life.

1. girls are smarter

and

2. Life is cheap and it sucks

but you know what?

Just freakin live. laugh and love.

I know that sounds so cliche but its so true, life is always going to get you down but our goal in life is just to embrace it.

letters

I am writing letters to all my close friends and people i adore because i feel like it and i can.

Yeah i am only leaving for 4 months...and someone told me just to think of it as a long vacation, which is making so much easier, i'll be back. BUT i like writing so i am writing til then letters, just so i can be all mushy. yeah erica diahann just said mushy...complete opposite of haha me.

love is an ocean

your love runs deep
your love runs deep

when we are caught up in this wave of life

your love sinks deep
your love sinks deep

when the things of this world don't satisfy

your love flows deep
your love flows deep

when people's love runs dry

your love fills deep
your love fills deep

your love heals
your love saves
your love is constant
your love is an ocean
