"Give me strength to be kind.
To combine all the good things in life
that are so hard to find...
You give me a quiet mind
and I... I love you
You give me a quiet mind
and I- I LOVE YOU
Until the end ..."

TUESDAY
Officially one of the most important days of my life and I will never allow myself to forget it. It is why I am choosing to document it here.
It is why I am choosing at all.
You know, for a while I was really close to losing who I was. It was more that I remembered being so sure of myself last year.
I knew my name, I knew what I believed in.
I knew who I loved, who deserved forgiveness and who didn't.
But these recent months have been like quicksand. One second I believed I stood on solid ground and the next it just fell out beneath me. I couldn't see, I couldn't breathe- I just knew I was immersed and had to get out of it somehow, someway.
Who was I and why did I have these idiotic beliefs?
Why did I love these people who didn't love me?
Did I have the right to forgive people when I myself needed to be forgiven?
Tuesday was my downfall and Tuesday was my resurrection. I have never been so humbled, ever felt so human in my entire life. This is the truth.
And I can truly say that I have never felt
more deeply loved
than I had when I fell down on the drive way pavement. Never ever ever. Ever felt more loved.
And I confessed all of this that I am confessing now.
Childish, weak,
Trite and Cheap
but they love me
for me.
But I have never been more happy of it.
And now that this is over and everything that was destroying me has released itself, I know can move forward.
And as far as change, that may happen,
BUT
I am going to strive
and I am going to fight
to continue being who I am.
Soon I'm going to pick up all the pieces and put them back together and not need any glue or tape.
It won't be a facade this time or frail logic keeping me together.
This time it will be real
and genuine
and maybe, just maybe...
stronger.
So for the first time I leave off to bed
with a completely quiet mind for the first time in months. I have two people to thank for that.
And as for now, that is what I am giving thanks for.
To them
and all those
who save me
time and time again.
For I love you
Until the end.

Happy Thanksgiving.

Dear everyone,
I'd like to admit that I have been completely inactive lately. I haven't replied to comments from even the people I love the most-
That means you, Kate.
Tasuki, my bandytt, Cheeky, so many others... I'm sorry.
I have failed you, but I'm not going to sit here on my end of the computer and make excuses for it.
HOWEVER, though I'm not sure what is wrong with me recently, I'm going to change this. I refuse to stay in this crazy funkitated stage that I'm in. No matter what, I think of about you guys all the time.
It's just that sophmore slump you get into. The world looks so big and you feel so useless, even though you know you aren't. I feel like I'm on the verge of something crucial, and until I'm strong enough to leap off the edge I'm going to stand here,
right here,
knowing that you all love me despite my reluctance.
Thank you all so much.
I love you.
-Lori
---------------------------------------------------
I'm changing.
I'm not sure if it's for the better
or for the worst.
At any rate, I'm deleting the majority of my gallery
for they no longer portray who I am as an artist.
I am also considering giving up this account,
especially the name.
I need to search for myself again,
and I'm going to find me,
wherever I am.
For lack of a way to better express myself
thank you for reading.

Hey freaktoes. How are you? You need to update your journal or something! Let people know you haven't killed yourself! D:
Guess what song I have stuck in my head? "Magic Dance", from Labyrinth. Oh, the memories!
Have you taken Driver's Ed yet? I've got my permit... but I haven't finished the class yet. I can drive, though! Pretty well, too. But I'm averse to left turns... >_>
Read any good books, lately? I'm rereading Eragon, so that I can start Eldest.
How is Mimo? How old is he now? Does he go to school? Is he pwnage incarnate? How is Ricky? Still Asian?
Nell is... 11, I think? I dunno. I still think she's 8 all the time.
What classes are you taking next year? I bet all your electives are cool/fun. I hope they are, anyway! I'm taking a whole bunch of AP classes... D: And Anatomy & Physiology, and Orchestra, of course, which I'm starting to hate, but I need to stay in because colleges like that sort of thing. ARGHHHH I hate thinking about colleges. I think you told me you already knew which college you were going to... an art school, right? That sounds awesome. Deep down, I really want to go to an art school, but I think I'm not good enough to compete with all you fantastic people, and besides, cutting people's skulls open and operating on their brain seems like just as much fun (if not harder work D: )!
I'm going to a black-and-white themed masquerade party tomorrow! I'm making my own mask... I've got to finish it tomorrow before the party. It's pretty radical at the moment, but too simple for my tastes. >8D So I'm going to spiff it up with some pearls and lace and stuff... I've just got to figure out a way to glue it on without gluing down my fingers and stuff.
Anyways, I just wondered how you were doing. I hope everything's great with you and your family, and I REALLY WANT TO SEE YOU SOOOON! (Even if soon is just "within the year")
Write back!
