Prologue

I never knew it could be so awesome to be in love with someone. I would do anything for that boy, and I know he would do the same. It's like deep down we're connected somehow, and it's a yearning inside me to take care of him. That's how I knew I loved him. When you start doing things for them just to make them smile inside... just like you are because you have them. He lifts me up higher than I ever thought I could fly.

I have so many dreams for my life. I want to see the world, I want to film my imagination and let other people's memories come alive. I want to love and be loved ~ I want to make a family.

I have learned so much, and seen so many people in this life that don't settle for what they really want. Working in Laramie and coming back to see my fellow graduates have showed me that. I've looked back on he people I've grown up with and made friends with. I don't regret anything, because if I did I wouldn't be where I am today. I will always cherish the memories of Levi, Kristi, Aaron, Kara, Lily, Jamie, Chuck and Tyler. Junior High with Shayne, Jason and Dan. The hardship I encountered with Joe. Or even the insane crush I have always retained within me for Trent. Or even the silly little proverbs I would write down to calm my hardships and express myself when there was no one else to talk to.

But the thing of it all is, is that at one point in time we grow up, whether we realize it or not. People start to realize who they really are and what makes them happy. Others will realize their divine purpose in this life, while some will spend the rest of their lives looking.

We must all find our own escapes. We must all find our own loves in this world, and we must always keep hoping for the future. Because when we stop, the world around us could stop to. Never stop dreaming. And when it does get quiet, use your love to fill that space.
