sad it's over.

I am so glad I was able to take this class it has been the best. I have learned so much. I learned so many things that I know I will be able to apply and use in life right now and in the future. I also was able to learn and discover so much about myself and I am so grateful for that.

Family reunions

I remember flying on the plane. I remember being so excited. I remember feeling like we'd never get there. I remember landing. I remember being so tired. I remember the fireworks. I remember the crazy drunk guy who tried getting me to sit on his lap. I remember being freaked out. I remember all of the wonderful places we visited. I remember going to the hotel with the room that smelled of smoke. I remember seeing the no smoking sign outside the door. I remember when we went on this trip (2009)  

don't forget

Forgotten:
Summer of none stop fun
Co-workers names
Back road to the lake
Room under the stairs
Favorite songs
Color the wall use to be before it got painted
Smell of the ocean
Favorite shirt
Best friends

Suntans from last summer

Grow up

When I was six I was never told to grow up. I remember always hearing people tell me to slow down and not grow so fast. What has changed so much now that I am eighteen and being told I better grow up and quick. I know there are a lot of years between six and eighteen but I don't care I'm still not ready to grow up. I'm ready to take a step into Neverland. But it looks like that dream is one that can't come true. I'll try my best to go with the flow and be an adult but no matter how hard you try I'll never let my crayons be thrown away! 

can you hear me?

some needs you!

School is for learning not dreaming 

Unknown

I found myself walking one day
Well I was out on my walk
I found myself thinking
Of where my
Life is at
And where it might go
It kind of got me worry
When I finally
Stopped day dreaming
I looked up
and saw a place
I've never seen before
It startled me at first
But Once I looked closer
I felt a sense of peace
The place I saw is *where the sidewalk ends and before the street beings
The first step was kind of hard
I couldn't leave all of the things
I grew to love so dear
But as my steps
Grew more and more
I learned that
I wasn't leaving
Anything behind
I had everything and everyone
With me each step of the way



*Where the side walk ends by Shel Silverstein

forgive you?

I remember that day
Like it just happened
All of the hurt and confusion
You had me feel
The frustration mounted

So much hurt
Confusion and frustration
The emotions so hard
To control
Remorse and pain is all I could feel

Could I ever forgive you?
I soon did
Learn to forgive
But as for that day
I will never forget

keep looking

go out and find someone, who loves you for you!

Miss you

Today I find myself thinking about you and what you would have been like. 
Anyways just thought I'd let you know how much I miss you and wish I could hear the sound of your voice.
How I wish I could talk to you face to face, see your smile, and hear your laugh.
I bet you would be the kind of person who always looks for ways to help others and brighten people's days. 
I'm sure your smile would light up an entire room.
I bet you would always include everyone, help them feel loved, and be everyone's best friend. 
You'd get good grades I'm sure, At least better than mine.
I bet mom and dad would be so proud of you!  I know I would be. Cause you would have been the best brother ever. I wish I could talk to you but for now I'll just have to wonder.

Why worry?

                                             

  

Love these quotes and pictures! 

What are you like?

Dear future,I hope you're as good as you sound. Sometimes during the day I find myself thinking about you. How I wish I could talk to you and find out how this whole thing turns out. Oh man do I have so many questions for you like do I ever finish school? Do I follow through with the plans I've made? What kind of jobs do I have, where do I live? Do I ever leave Utah? What is my family like? Do I get married? What was my wedding like? Do I have kids, how many? What kind of car do I have? Do I still talk to the friends I had in high school? What kind of house do I live in? Do I live on a farm/ranch? Will I ever think about you enough to not feel scared or nervous  about what you hold?  I could go on and on but I have one really big question I want to ask you then I'll let you go. So here it is...Do you ever find me just sitting and thinking about you still?

I'm not afraid...

I'm afraid of a winter with no snow. Of losing my big toe. I'm afraid of the dark. Of having a flood and Noah not building an ark. Of a tree that doesn't have any bark. Of a shark eating left foot.  I'm afraid of staying put. Of a bears foot clawing its way through my tent. Of a vent blowing up in my house. Of a jumping mouse. I'm afraid of everything.

Fear why do I fear you?

Fear why do I fear you?
Why is that I only feel you when times call to have courage and to stand up for what I know is right.
And never in times of not using my brain in moments that I ought to be.
You always seem to come at the wrong times.
Oh how I wish I had you by my side the day I decided to ride my bike with no brakes down that steep hillside.
And how I wish you weren't with the day I needed to speak up and be courageous and stick up for that kid who was being picked on.
Oh fear how I wish I didn't fear you.
How I wish I could stand up to you and say I've finally had enough and tell you that I'd never need you again.

Thinking about you

I'm thinking about you.

I'm thinking about you like cops think about robbers and robbers think about robbing.

I'm thinking about you like winter thinks about snow.

Like socks think about shoes and how shoes think about stinky feet.

Like fish think about swimming.

I'm thinking about you like dancers think about dancing.

Like gold miners think about finding gold.

Like little kids think about happy meals and how happy meals think about making kids fat.

Like teachers think about teaching.

Like the sun thinks about burning people.

I'm thinking about you like chickens think about being fried.

Like summer thinks about the sun.
It may seem weird but I was just thinking about you.

Wish you knew...

I'm thinking about you.

I'm thinking about you and the way you use to laugh so hard until you would cry.

I'm thinking about you and the way you would hold me so close and would tell me everything would be fine and the way you would smile at me and wait until I noticed.

The sound of your voice when you would sing, all the songs we sung together.

The time you got a hair cut from your sister.  

I’m thinking about you and the way your hand met mine and the walks we would take for hours.

I was just thinking about you and how I wish we were still together. ♥ 

Never ending question

Love. Why is this four letter word so undefined? It has so many different meanings. We are all going through this life looking for the same answer to this never ending question.  Have we ourselves ever loved or been loved? This is a feeling you can't explain because it is different for each one of us. I wish there was a solid answer to this question. It drives me crazy I feel like it will never be answered. Every time I think I have finally found the answer something always happens to make me question it again.  But I haven't given up on finding the answer and I'm not going to stop until I find it. And if you have this same problem and don't know the answer to this never ending question then I encourage you to not give up either. 

Thought I found Love

I thought I found love today. thought I found love today. The way you smiled at me until I smiled back and laughed. The way you held my hand so tight. The way you told me you'd never leave me and the feeling of warmth I felt when you said these words. I thought I found love once but I'm not so sure anymore. You told me that I was the one. That you would be there forever. You were my best friend and I thought I was yours. People told me that I was just to young to know what love was. And oh man do I wish they we're right because if this wasn't love then what was it? I thought I found love once but I'm not so sure anymore.

Snowboarding!

That first run                    
Fresh powderFirst tracksEvery time is the first time
The powder deep, pure, cleanThe crunch of snowThe coldThe burning chill on my cheeksThe rush of my snowboardI feel the power and speed of the world around us,Suddenly at peaceI am the authorMy snowboard the penThe fresh snowThe paper upon which I write　

Human?

Heart beating
Blood fooling
Brain working
Eyes blinking
Never stopping always doing their jobs.
Feet moving, underneath the ground so fast just trying to keep up with the life they are living.
Hands, hands
Always working, working so hard trying so desperately not to disappoint the ones they love and hold so dear. But all of this only to wake up and find out they were never truly loved.

Then and only then do they start to question if they are truly human.

introduction

Hey so I'm Sue Heck. I'm not really one who likes to write a whole lot mainly because whenever I write it’s always for some kind of paper for school and I'm always given a topic that I honestly don't care to write about. So I'm glad that at least for this class I can really write about things I want to and I'm glad I will be able to write from the heart and show who I really am fashionable in my writing. I hope by the end of the year I can start to enjoy writing once more like I use to.  Thanks!
Yours truly, Sue Heck
