My Epiphany
What they don't tell you about love is that it's a strong feeling and a long progress. Everyone becomes excited about love but it's definitely frustrating and confusing in so many ways. No one tells you love hurt's, they say it's the best feeling and you get butterflies in your stomach. Butterflies can be a good thing and a bad.
I was about 15 years of age. This is the age of manipulative and vulnerability. I never thought I could be the one to just fall in love with anyone and do the stupidest an outrageous things. Well, this memorable event I'm about to get in to, just explains how a average 15 year old think and handle's a love situation.
It was 5 years ago when I first saw and started to hang out with him. His name was Steven Decker. Everything he said and did invited me in. He said to me for the first time, "You shouldn't walk around here like that. It is dangerous for me." I was attached immediately.
I would look for him all the time, anytime I went out. There was that one day I saw him and he wasn't alone. He was holding hands with someone else. My heart dropped and I started to get hot. I automatically ranged with envy.
At that moment I just sat there just pretending I didn't know him. In just a couple of seconds he came up to me with her and said "Hey Cyn what's up, this is my girl Steph." I said "Hey nice to meet you." I wondered why he introduced me but at that moment I thought I was special.
That night I got a call. It was Steven and we talked for exackly three hours. It was about 9:45 when he asked me to come take a walk with him. During our walk we just talked and I asked him why does he do this to her. Of course he's going to say something like he's not ready for a commitment and what ever else. I know that it's the age, but why would you want to settle for the first choice.
Later on it started to rain, so we ran to a safe place. Then after a moment passed, he wanted to ask me something but he changed his mind. I already knew what it was and I definitely wanted to also. I walked closer to him and he got a little timid. I told him I wasn't going to hurt him. He said "No but I don't want to hurt you." I told him it's harmless not to worry. I thought it would be a harmless kiss, but it was deadly. It was the most perfect kiss. He suddenly said "Wow that gave me goosebumps", then that he had to go and for me to go home. I didn't know what was going on but I had an idea.
The day finally came when Steph found out and went balistic. She called me and told me things you don't want to hear. There was one thing she said to me that just broke me. She said "Do you actually think he loves you? Who is he with now? Who does he do things for? Who does he come to sleep with? ME! I thought he could defend me but he just defended himself.
As a result, I ended up in the hospital from taking 15 aspirins for my pain I felt. I came out in 2 weeks and decided to let everything go. Once again I bumped into him, he tried to apologize and ask for forgiveness. Then he asked me if I wanted to be friends. I just told him "Maybe future wise, because I don't see you as a friend." I walked away and thought that was the hardest thing I ever had to do.
While I picture my life now it is extremely complicated compared to when I was 15. Now that I'm slightly mature and experienced, for me to define love it will take more time then I expected, and it's only the beginning.

My Writing Piece/Trains/My Smart Goal
What they don't understand about trains and what they never tell you is that trains can reach up to 322 mies per hour.Trains are all around the world.There are all types of trains.Trains run on the train tracks. The first railroad cross the entire country in 1869.I love trains.
Freight trains don't carry passengers. They transport cargo. They carry heavy loads. They don't run as fast as the passenger trains. There are many types of frieght trains. Freight trains uses freight cars. Containers can be lifted on and off or onto trucks or ship. Freight trains carry many different kinds freight with my different types of wagons.
Juice trains carry loads of juices. CSX corporation operates juice trains between Bredenton, Florida and Jersey City, New Jersey.
Passenger trains carry people. Passenger trains have passenger cars. Oversight of a passenger trains the responsibility of conductors, sometimes referred to as the guard in the UK and other locales. Passenger train services have been given a specific name. Some trains have double-decker cars to carry more passengers per train.
Long distance trains travel overnight between many cities and/or regions of acountry, and sometimes cros several countries. They have sleepibg cars and food cars.
High speed trains trains travel at speeds above 125 mph and often operates on dedicated track that is surveyed and prepared to accommandate high speeds. Their equipment employs tilting technology to improve stability in curves.
You should ride on each train.

I'm sick..
Hello everyone. Sorry I didn't make it to class today. I had the flu all weekend. I should be better for class on WED I will see you then.
My Princess's Prom
What they don't tell you about prom day is that the process of you getting to the prom is not a piece of cake. There is much behind what goes on before you get to the big day.
The day of my daughters prom was memorable to me. I got her a beautiful black dress with sparkling glitter. On the day of her prom we got up early and had breakfast. Tamara was so excited but nervous at the same time. We then went to the hair salon to get her hair done. I had to go back home to do some things, so I left her there. An hour later Tamara comes back home crying. "Mom look at what they did to my hair its all big and frizzy!". They didn't do her hair the right way. She wanted her hair loose with curls. She looked like Diana Ross for crying out loud! I must say her hair smelled like a bouquet of flowers, but not attractive looking at all! I yelled, "Tamara were running a little late so we have no time to waste!" So I quickly re-did her hair in an up do and put a pretty little hair clip on it that I had in the house. It actually looked really nice. She said, "You saved my prom day, Mom, Thanks. What would I do with out you? You did a better job than the hair salon!" Then I did her make up with sparkling eye shadow to match her dress. She got dressed and WOW she looked so elegant just like a princess! We got in the car and went to the prom. As we got out her friends were there so I took some pictures of them.
She then hugged me and said, "Thanks Mom". She started walking in and waved to me with a big smile on her face. At that moment it had hit me. My little girl is growing up.

Look Into My Eyez
Look into my eyes you can see the morning sky the pain i hide deep inside and the desire i have to survive. People tell me how pretty my eyes are i smile and say thank you but only if they knew what story's my eyes told they would not think they where so pretty at all. My eyes tell a story look deeper and you can read my life. my eyes are like my heart once i closes them my mind goes blank and my heart stops. So see once you look into my eyes you can find the real me.
