Memorial Day Poem

They gave their life 
for our freedom 
They left behind family and friends 
They're not ever sure whether they'll 
be home for the holidays or whether 
they'll make it home at all
They face challenges we can't even fathom 
Some make it home and so don't 
The ones who make it hoe are scarred 
You can't see the scarring that's imprinted 
inside of them
You can't imagine their nightmares 
that are their  reality
Some won't get to see their kids be
born and will miss out on their kids 
first everything and would do anything 
just to be with them
They cherish every picture and letter they
have from family and friends 
They are fathers,sons,mothers,and daughters 
They chose to fight to keep us safe and free
Pray for the families who lost them 
Light a candle in remembrance of those who fell
Share their stories of their life so they
can be remembered and not forgotten 
Don't just thank them on Memorial Day
Give thanks to them and pray
for them everyday 
(Just wrote by-me)

Haunted Plantation

 Haunted Plantation  This Halloween my friends and I are going to a haunted plantation house that is abandoned. It is located in the Bayou in Louisiana.  It is 5 days before Halloween.  My friends and I love old haunted buildings.  We have been buying supplies when we aren't going to our college classes.  We go to old abandoned buildings and investigate the back story of the history of each location.  On our investigations we record and make videos that we upload to our social media accounts which has started gaining traction over the years. We have stocked up on food, drinks, batteries for our flashlights, and other necessities. My friends and I are 20yrs old and it's our second year of college.  We are taking film classes and psychology classes along with basic classes. This week feels like it is dragging. We are ready for the weekend. Halloween falls on a Friday this year. I pack up Thursday night. After our classes Friday afternoon we go to th...

Not everyone is for you

 Some people in life aren't meant for you. You will constantly have people coming and going in and out of your life. Not everyone is made for you. That is okay. Do not blame yourself for others actions.  Sometimes it isn't that they are bad people.  There are times people just grow apart.  Sometimes you lose contact to not ever hear from them again.  Others it is a learning experience. There are ones who don't respect boundaries.  Others might use you. The ones who prey and take advantage of you. Some who lie. Others who walk all over you.  Don't change to fit in. Don't bow down to others. Don't think you deserve bad because you don't deserve bad. Let people have their opinion of you and ignore them. Keep being the best you for you. There are good people in a world full of hate.
