Just a Saturday

As I sit here watching the clouds pass me by, the sunshine beats upon my car window.
As I sit here thinking about life and all its possibilities, its regrets, and failures also make themselves known. Those things that I thought were behind me appear once again, but as a larger hurdle.
“Just try to forget about it.”
Those are the words that are spoken to me by whomever I go to advice for.
But it’s not that simple (Easier said than done).
When something happens to you and you want to forget about it, you may succeed at first.
But then later it will make a vicious circle and become a part of your being once more.
And this time it won’t leave you.
“Come on and smile please.”
It’s what my friends tell me to do.
For their sake, and only for them, I do.
However, it’s not real. It’s a fake smile, a huge barrier that I am putting up, a divider separating two very different people.
The me that I don’t want anyone to see and the me that people want to see.
As I sit here watching the clouds pass me by, I think about life and its complications.

Just The Beginning? Or the End?

Bella was overly hesitant to talk to Shawn because of two reason which I don't blame her for having. The very first being that my family was very loud. Trust me, like louder than Cubans would still be an understatement. The second being that my family or parents were very nosy and tended to pick up the phone mid-conversation just to tell me something insignificant.

You may think that its not that bad, but trust me. They would ruin me with Shawn because they had the tendency to say my name quite a lot. and if you remember correctly, Shawn never knew my real name. I was Katrina Kaif remember?.....
