GOOD MORNING

Good morning to all! 

You might not be reading this in the morning, but I sure am writing in the morning. 

I am siting on a cold, stone bench outside of my school waiting for my meeting to start. I was at starbucks but that was too noisy, plus I already finished my coffee. 

Anyway... 

I realized I have not written a post in a while and like most writers, it feels weird. Not like this post means anything besides  a way to fulfill the urge to do something. 

I live in Washington state, not D.C. But right now it is cold, like winter, but it is barley even fall. I look out and can see nothing but a sea of fog and cars. This is odd for me to say because normally, as my friends like to call me, I am a polar bear. I never get cold and my skin is almost the color of paper, hence the polar bear nickname. But lately I have been getting cold and I do not like it one bit. I enjoy cold weather but not the feeling as if my fingers are going to freeze and fall off to become a small snack for the awaiting birds. 

What I just said probably has no relevance to you or your life, but I wrote it anyway. 

Missing you

I miss you 

I miss your laugh

I miss your smell

I miss your hugs 

I miss how you made me feel safe

I miss your smile and the way you could make me do the same

I miss your pateince

I miss your strength 

I miss the way you were always my Hero, my own super man. 

I miss our long, random conversations

I miss asking you every question under the sun, and you answering every single one.

I miss the way we would make dinner together

I miss eating breakfast with you

I miss sitting on the porch with you as the sun came up and you lit your cigarette 

I miss the long car rides 

I miss the way you would tie my shoes

I miss our shopping trips 

I miss waking you up every morning 

I miss the way you made everything feel like it would all be okay. 

I miss how I could talk to you about anything and you would understand 

I miss how you used to keep all of your promises. 

But there was one you broke, I know it isn't your fault, but the promise you made me to be there when I would walk that stage, shake someones hand and recive my high school diploma, that is the one I wish you didn't have to break. 

But I still miss you. 

I love you. 

 Always,

R^2

Creatures

This is just another one of those random things that I wrote and one that I am actually pleased with. So, here it is.

She looked at the creature opposite of her. This creature was vile looking, green matted fur covered the entire human like body, the eyes were empty orbs of black floating in the pale skin where the face should have been, the teeth itched to let a snarl come rumbling out of the mouth. The putrid smell of this creature was the worst smell that one could even imagine. She turned away, unable to look any longer.
"I will not let you take over. I refuse to give in." she whispered in a shaky voice then continued. "I will never again give you the power to eat me alive," she muttered into the empty air between herself and the mirror, "My grandfather told me never again give in."

What do you think?
It was a writing thing where my teacher gave us a Native American proverb, something about an angel and a devil on your shoulders(I can't remember it word for word), so that kind of inspired me to write this little thing about the "devil" character.
I wanted it to convey the idea that this girl looks in the mirror and can see the horrid character climbing out of her to rest as her exterior, but she remembers her grandfather's last words to her, to never give in.

In all honesty, I just felt like posting something

I hope anyone who has looked at this is having a wonderful start to their week!
You can always leave a comment!!
As always, Ta Ta for Now.

p.s. you thought I forgot the quote didn't you! I would never do that!

UGH

I'm soooooooooo stressed out right now. Friends are all acting absoulty batty and worried about homecoming dates and other friends and why they should not have to say theyre sorry. 

Drama in a club and now I have more weight on my shoulders and its beginning to feel like the weight of the world. 

All my classes are stacking up making me just count down the days until we have a break. 

Homework making me appreciate sleep more now that it is an actual high school amount. Not to mentions its honors. 

Young life(should look it up ;). Stuff with that. 

A conflict in schedueling with a friend and a club.

I dont know what I am going to do. I have a gut feeling thats its going to be a tough week and probably going to spill over into my weekend. 

I am absoulutly amazed I have any time for writing this right now. 

This would be the time to speak up wiyh words of wisdom. All are welcome!!! 

Anyway. 

Bye bye for now

Greetings

I just felt like saying hello. 

Hello internet. 

How cute is this! 

This is Sunny and his little friend Sam. 

Anyway, this was pointless because I thought that if I started to write I would come up with something interesting but I can't so I'm just going to leave it at this. Goodnight. 

Oh wait! Eureka!💡Anyone who might be reading this will probably immediatly hate me, but thats all right. You should listen to a song called American Kids by Kenny Chesney, a country artist and Secrets by Mary Lambert. Combine those with Macklemore and Ryan Lewis' song Thriftshop and you could almost acurately describe my life to a small extent.

Well you should listen to all three of those songs and enjoy lauging at this post, as well as admiring the adorableness of the picture of Sunny and Sam. 

So goodnight. Again. 

Love always R^2

How I feel right now!

GOALLLLLL!!!!

Let me just say, YYYYYYEEEESSSSSSS!!!
What is this hype all about you may ask, it is for the fact that my school just won the Taylor Trophy, which is our local rivalry game, we just won for the first time in 17 years! Seventeen years!!!! This is so awesome for us and it was even more amazing for me to be able to be down on the field to watch and film the whole game and it was absolutely amazing. I need to come up with new words but I am exhausted. just wanted to let the future me know what just happened and this is a very big moment for me and you future me. oh and on a more mellow note, I didn't get into the fall collection of plays but I am hoping that I can get in next time, I wasn't really vested into it. anyway.
I am going to go to bed because I have been busy busy tonight!

Goodnight and best wishes

Rush

 

As I approached the edge, my heart was pumping as fast as a wild horse gallops in open fields. I felt the drop. It sent my stomach flying into my throat, I quickly swallowed the feeling as the ice cold water splashed my face, awaking my mind, my arms working like wind mills, propelling me safely to the end of the waterfall. As I reach the bottom, I can feel my head throbbing intensely from the exhilarating  adrenaline rush that frees my body of all inhibitions and allows me to feel the water as it drips off my skin and feel the rays of sunlight breaking through the mid afternoon clouds to wash my back with warmth. I float neatly along the river feeling an utterly overwhelming sense of calm rush though my veins into my heart.

Again...

So.... I have tried doing this too many times to count but this time I am going to do it for myself rather than whatever else I was thinking before. I want to put a time stamp on things in my life, I want to be able to look back at this blog and remember what was going on at that time.

 

I say that this is "Again" because I have tried to start a blog probably about 4 times now and every time it failed. I wasn't really ready for it but I feel like I have a better grasp on things now that I am a sophomore.

 

Let us start this off right.

 

My name is Riley. I am 15 years old. My favorite color is orange. My favorite food is pizza. My favorite subject in school is science. I have a cat, a dog and 6 chickens. I am a semi-creative person, so I enjoy drawing and writing and that is probably what my blog will have on it. I love quotes so I will try to end each post with a new one. My friends and other people tend to tell me that I give pretty good advice so if someone reads this and wants to ask a serious or silly question, go on ahead.

 

I am not willing to commit to posting every day or every week for that matter. When I can and when I feel like it is when I will post. Hopefully this blog will help me learn about myself and about my
limits or should I say my lack there of. I want to expand my writing skills and I feel I might be able to do that through this.

 

Well, I think for now this is what I will leave it off with.

 

If anyone out there is reading this,
