it's been a year...

She sighed, leaning her head against the car window. It had been a year since she was last able to stop in the moment and glance outside to admire the little things; the rain splattering gently down the window, the lights shining on the wet road, and the sound of the car engine roaring softly. 

If she were to be completely honest, there were definitely times when she wanted to give up. Times where, all she wanted to do, was just crawl into a ball and hide in the corner of her room, listening to sad music all night and never coming out of that corner again.

Yet, she never gave in. 

And, she promised herself as she closed her eyes,

she never will.

So am I back?

It's been a while, guys.

I can't believe I still have 47 followers, I was expecting, like, none. Thank you for sticking around, and I'm so sorry I left without a word like that. 

Life's just been... busy, I guess. I haven't found time for blogging until today... I just wanted to write something, it's been a year after all... 

I'm not sure myself if I'm back or not, I know I've certainly missed doing this, but even I don't know what kind of things life is going to throw at me.  

So... until next time? 

End of that Road ~ Short and Simple

I want to go somewhere.

With you.

It doesn't matter where, as long as I'm with you.

We can drive through the around the mountains, beside the sea.

Breathe in the cool air, watch the sun set and rise.

Get away from everyone.

Except for you. 

And maybe one day,

we'll reach the very end of that road.

PS. Yes, the second part of Rain (I don't know if that's what I should name it) is coming soon! I'm in the middle of writing.

Floating ~ A Short And Simple

I've never been on a hot air balloon.

And I really want to be on one. 

Just that feeling you get when you see everything at the bottom....

Beautiful and glorious.

I can't stop thinking about it.

That would be the perfect place to think.

Perfect place to write.

Perfect place to be inspired.

It's amazing <3

And now, going on a hot air balloon is officially on my bucket list.

I would like to see the world in a different point of view.

Just floating in the sky.

So free. So wonderful. 

Without a care in the world. 

How would that feel?

Stars ~ A Short and Simple Post

Stars.

Ever look up in the sky?

What do you see?

Beautiful stars.

Do you wish upon them?

Or do you see your ancestors there?

Stars are a beautiful mystery,

that we admire from far.

Love ~ A Short And Simple Post

Have you ever wondered what love is?

How it feels like?

When it happens?

Why it occurs?

I do. 

Every day. <3

I wonder about who will be the love of my life, who I will grow old with. 

I wonder if it really does happen like the books and movies say it does.

I wonder if it's something amazing.

I wonder when I will fall in love for the first time.

And I wonder what will happen then.

Will Older Laurel know more about love soon?

Hugs and kisses!
