New Jersey

Today we went into the city and hung out at Chelsea market for a bit which is one of my favorites and then went back into Jersey to hang out with family. My moms cousin took us into Princeton which is beautiful. We ate at a little restaurant and relaxed and talked. They're the complete opposite of my parents in every way. I love them. Northern New Jerseyians with Democratic views, wealthy, and are "tell it like it is" people. But we got along great and they were so welcoming. It's having times like these that I wish my family lived closer or that I had a bigger family. It's sad sometimes to me that I'm an only child with no cousins. I feel like I have no one to relate to. I'm the youngest in the family (if you don't consider my fourth cousins, who are all younger than 8). I think one of my goals in life would be to make sure that I have a family that's loving and giving and sharing. Not that mine isn't. It's just that if you asked me who's my family, I would just automatically say my mom and my dad...and sometimes it's a little difficult to relate to someone twice your age and their interests have nothing to do with your own. I thank God for my friends that keep me grounded with long talks and doing stupid stuff together. This is all a little random, but tonight just had me thinking about it.

I love sample sales!!!

They're seriously the best and new yorks best kept secret!

New York

Ahhh, it's good to be back. The fast pace, the different ethnicity's, the smells, and the sights. It's all a splendor to behold. I belong here. Now, I just need to figure out how I must stay...

Maryland

I'm having a wonderful time with my uncles. They live in a 3 story Victorian home in the tiniest town I've ever laid eyes on, where everyone knows of everyone and their business. They run the cutest floral shop downtown that maybe consists of ten total shops. It's a riot. Everyone is related. My uncles just moved from LA to Lake Mountain and they stick out like a very sore thumb. They're gay and speak their mind and are very entertaining. As for everyone else in this town, they're sleepy and very slow paced and highly Republican. It's hilarious. What's even more hilarious, is that my step dad is a good ole southern boy that has a saying for everything... " them there are faster than a mosquito to a blood hound..." lovely things like that. And I love him and my uncles. It's funny to sit between the two and see the complete opposite in my step dad and his older brother. Most of all, I love the love that is in the house. To all sit together and watch The Office and 30 Rock together and laugh and tell jokes is amazing. There's no judging, no one sticks their nose in the air, it's all family.
It is displays of love like this that I absolutely refuse to call myself a Democrat or a Republican or anything else for that matter. It has no real meaning to me. You are what you are. You believe and you put forth the effort to gain the meaning of the world in which you live. You live to better yourself and those around you. You care for you country and for the world. You care for your family and for others. It's just that simple. It's really a no brain er. To get so caught up in what you are, I feel as if you loose sight in what you believe. We get stuck in our bubbles of "my family believes this or the town I live in is mostly this..." It's wrong. Find yourself. A lot of my life I relied on others to tell me what to do or who to be. Hell with that. I'm me. God knows me, I look to good for everything I am and that's all that really matters. If people did that more instead of looking to the outside, we'd have more peace in this world and also more peace within ourselves.
So, it's funny what you can learn in just a few days of Christmas vacation. It's definitely not what I expected. But more importantly, I welcome it and encourage a great change within my heart and those around me from experiences just like this.

Friendship

Friendship is like a good wine that you never want to end. It shelters you in the hell of times and cools you from the many pressures of the world. The road that leads to a friends house is comforting in itself. As we grow older, we learn more about what we desire in a friend and how love can save us. We all want that steady friendship that makes a person stronger and more loving. We question what we want more of, friendship or love? One is different from the other. Love does require friendship and friendship, love. But love attracts opposites. It begs for something extreme and out of the ordinary. While, friendship wants nothing but sameness and equality. God says love Me and keeps Me as a friend. He will not forsake you and leave you to suffer.But God isn't a friend, it's beyond friendship. It's even beyond a relationship. So what is friendship? It isn't really a necessity in life to have friends. Just like reading, movies, art, writing, and even emotions like love may not be necessary through out life. ..But it is considered one of those things that give a life value. It is with the many friends that fill my life and love to share theirs with me that I consider my life to be of high value.

A Little Over This

I am so over this...

I am tired!!!

The Strangest Dream

I became famous in one day
Then everything was back to normal
Everyone followed the Golden Rule
Don't wake me up yet
I learned the impossible about love
I found the place you talked of
Don't want to leave it
I told myself it wasn't real
Love was personified
I can't let go yet
No matter, I can't change my mind
Your touch was here with me
I was fooling myself
I am hopeless and helpless
I tried to change my mind
There was no point
I thought there was love to give

My Day

This is the life you lead when you're Megan Morris:

1. You can't function without a cup of coffee, because you forgot to buy filters.

2. You're roommate finds out about the amazing suprise birthday party you've been planning for her.

3. You drive across town to Walmart, drive back to school and realize you forgot half of the items that you really needed.

4. Spill a whole cup of raspberry iced tea in the bathroom of Panera.

5. You also have to slam hard on your car breaks your lap top flies out of the front seat on the floor.

6. And you're basically sick three times a semester
