Every promise you've broken
You can have 'em back
Every favorite moment
Every panic attack
Every door left unopened
While I just stared through the crack
Don't know where this is going
And that's where I'm at.
And that's just the way it is
And that's just the way it is
I don't want your this... No
I don't want your that... No
I'm moving to Manhattan
and I'm never looking back
Never looking back never looking
I don't want your things... No
Don't care what you think... No
I'm moving to Manhattan
And I'm never looking back
Never looking back
Gonna hop on the next plane
And just see where it goes
Gonna empty my closet
Gonna throw out my clothes
I've got 200 dollars, a guitar and a coat
Yeah I hear it gets cold there
But I'm already froze
I don't want your this... No
I don't want your that... No
I'm moving to Manhattan
and I'm never looking back
Never looking back never looking
I don't want your things... No
Don't care what you think... No
I'm moving to Manhattan
And I'm never looking back
Never looking back
Never looking back
Never looking back
Ive learned to take it all in stride
To see the world with my own eyes
I've learned to trust the other side
Other side other side
I don't want your this
I don't want your that
I'm moving to Manhattan
and I'm never looking back
Never looking back never looking
I don't want your things... No
Don't care what you think... No
I'm moving to Manhattan
And I'm never looking back
Never looking back
I don't want your things
I don't care what you think
I'm moving to Manhattan
I'm moving to Manhattan
I don't care what you think
I don't care what you think
I'm moving to Manhattan
And I'm never looking back
Never looking back again

Memory all alone in the moonlight...
Not a sound from the pavement
Has the moon lost her memory?
She is smiling alone
In the lamplight, the withered leaves collect at my feet
And the wind begins to moan
Memory
All alone in the moonlight
I can smile at the old days
I was beautiful then
I remember the time I knew what happiness was
Let the memory live again
Every streetlamp seems to beat a fatalistic warning
Someone mutters, and a streetlamp gutters,
And soon it will be morning.
Daylight
I must wait for the sunrise
And I mustn't give in.
When the dawn comes, tonight will be a memory too
And a new day will begin
Burnt out ends of smokey days
The stale cold smell of morning
The streetlamp dies, another night is over
Another day is dawning...
Touch me!
It's so easy to leave me
All alone with the memory
Of my days in the sun...
If you touch me, you'll understand what happiness is
Look, a new day
Has begun
Has the moon lost her memory?
She is smiling alone
In the lamplight, the withered leaves collect at my feet
And the wind begins to moan
Memory
All alone in the moonlight
I can smile at the old days
I was beautiful then
I remember the time I knew what happiness was
Let the memory live again
Every streetlamp seems to beat a fatalistic warning
Someone mutters, and a streetlamp gutters,
And soon it will be morning.
Daylight
I must wait for the sunrise
And I mustn't give in.
When the dawn comes, tonight will be a memory too
And a new day will begin
Burnt out ends of smokey days
The stale cold smell of morning
The streetlamp dies, another night is over
Another day is dawning...
Touch me!
It's so easy to leave me
All alone with the memory
Of my days in the sun...
If you touch me, you'll understand what happiness is
Look, a new day
Has begun

Life
We go through day by day constantly thinking and worrying about ultimately insignificant matters, stressing and feeling bad about the hurtful words someone might have said, regretting the choices that we may have made - and constantly forgetting to just STOP and enjoy the beautiful sunset, smell the scent of new rain, appreciate the colors of the leaves, and be brightened by the warmth of the sun. So when you have a bad day, stop thinking about all the little things that has been making you feel so down, to just look up at the sky and realize how small your problem really is in comparison to the whole universe. And whisper a word of thanks for being alive, for having the chance to make a difference in the world, and for having the gift of LIFE. Too often we forget what really matters in this world - and we need to be reminded from time to time.

Lessons Learned.
1) I am the strongest when life is the hardest, and I'm at my weakest when life no longer poses a challenge. Difficulties and obstacles in life are there to help me grow and stretch in order to become the person I was always meant to be.
2) It's okay to make mistakes. Everybody makes them. The important thing is to learn and grow from each one.
3) Don't look back into the past. We cannot change what has already happened, but we can direct what will happen in the future.
4) Embrace the place you are at. Whether you like your current situation or not, remember that this is exactly where you should be. Live in that moment fully because you will never get it back.
5) Choose to see the best in people. We all have our strengths and weaknesses, so choose to have a positive outlook in life and look for the best in others.
6) There are two types of people in this world: givers and takers. Be a giver, and not a taker.
7) Don't stoop down to a low level. You are an eagle, so soar like one. The crow will never be able to rise as high.
8) Understand that every single person in this world has an equal right and ability to find true, lasting, pure happiness.
9) You have to love yourself first, before you can love others.
10) True happiness is not fleeting. Learn to be at peace and rest within your soul no matter what circumstance you may be in.
11) I was not born to be average or lead a mediocre life. I was born to excel and succeed. I was born to be happy and to live life passionately.
12) Get up every morning and say to yourself, "I am excited about this day. Good things are going to happen to me today. The best is yet to come."
13) Nobody can be unhappy for long if they did exactly what they wanted, when they wanted to.

Feelings
I once read in a book that our feelings and emotions are the guide to our happiness and our heart's deepest desires. If you are overwhelmed with positive, happy, and comforting emotions that means you are getting closer to your deepest desire. However, if you are feeling bad, regretful, guilty, or experience any type of negative emotion, that means you are going farther away from what you really want and what your heart is desiring. In order to be happy, you have to pay close attention to your emotions and feelings, because by paying attention to them you can turn the negative emotions into positive ones...and become closer to reaching your heart's deepest desire.
It sounds simple enough, but what do you do when you have conflicting emotions? Does that mean I don't know what my deepest desire is, or have I lost sight of it? I sure hope not.

When one door closes, another one opens...
In less than 24 hours, my third year of nursing school, my junior year of college will be over! It's crazy to even imagine how fast this year has passed, but then again every year seems to pass by even more faster than the previous one...
I've finished three of my exams already and only have just one more to go so trying to pump myself up and get studying on that one instead of dying out in the end. I've done pretty good on the three exams so far, actually I've aced them so pretty happy and proud of myself! I think this semester I will be getting all A's! =D So happy and much improvement from last semester. I know I can do anything if I put my mind to it!
I have been thinking and coming to so many different realizations lately. First of all, I have tons of bright plans for this summer. I don't want to waste a single day of this summer because each day will be filled with something creative, fun, memorable, or knowledgable. I'm just praying to hear back from this externship position that I applied for the summer...and hoping and praying that I will be accepted because I would be able to get so much experience on the hospital floor and learn so many new things that I won't be able to otherwise.
I'm also working on a dress that I've been trying to produce for the past couple months..lol I've been busy and procrastinating a little bit. So I've realized that making a dress is actually a lot harder than you would think, and there are so many little things that go into it that if you don't have enough patience and will, you would just give up on the spot. I've actually already practiced making a halter top and a long sleeved shirt...both of which I totally messed up on, but that is okay because I learned from making each of them, which is why I'm sure my dress will be a huge success.
This past weekend I went to NYC and visited Central Park and the Metropolitan Museum. Right now is the best time ever to visit the city because it's beautiful there. The weather is just right, not too cold, not too hot, with a slight breeze...and all you need is a light jacket at night! I haven't been there in a while so it was very refreshing and just nice to be there and walk around for a while.

Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, Life is a broken winged bird that cannot fly...
Do you ever think about how much music affects our lives? I was just listening to some music and I just thought WOW, music brings back all kinds of memories...
The past is the past and we all grow up and move on, but when you listen to music that you used to listen to a long time ago, it brings back so much memories about those times and tugs at your heart. I love that feeling, and I love even more that I can look back at memories of myself when I was younger and smile about it, not regretting anything I've done. I feel like I've learned so much and grown up and matured in just the 2 years that I've been away from home but I still have a long way to go to being the person that I ultimately want to become.
I feel like I'm not that innocent little girl I used to be a couple years ago. I've learned about life, relationships, and myself. I've learned that I'm so much stronger than I ever believed I was, and that I can get through any obstacle that is thrown in my way to reach my goals. In the past I've felt like I could not go own, that life was so unfair, and I must be the only person in the world who was feeling so much pain. I really believed that it was too hard and I was going to give up. But looking back now, I realize that no matter how bad I felt, how discouraged and down I was, I still got through those times and I have come out a better, stronger, and more confident person than I was before. I am lucky enough to have such great support persons and wonderful parents who have always encouraged me to pursue my dreams and reach beyond my goals to be the best person that I can be and more. I think the most valuable lesson I have learned from my parents is that, you can only reach as far as your dreams. If you dream small, then you will reach small results, but if you dream big, you will achieve big results. You are only as big as your dream. This is why I've always learned to dream big, on a gigantic scale. I dream that I will make a big change and a huge contribution to the world someday, in some specific way. Some people laugh at my dreams and say that it may be impossible or I may be crazy, but who's to say really? If I never dream big dreams...I will never achieve big results...and I want to reach the top.
One of my favorite quotes since I was a little girl is, "Reach for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars." I remember the first time I ever saw this quotes was on the wall of my sixth grade classroom, and ever since then it has always stuck with me in the back of my mind. It reminds me that no matter what, I should always reach for the top, strive to be the best, and to accomplish the impossible because I have got nothing to lose, and EVERYTHING to gain.
