My Personal Life

Hey everyone, even though I spend what feels like every waking moment on the computer, it seems as though I am returning to a long lost lover. I haven't been very active on Twitter nor have I posted a new blog on Our Beauty Struggles lately because my life has been very hectic lately. And I have definitely been around way to much death the last couple of weeks.

First of a girl I knew was raped and murdered over 3 weeks ago by her brother in law. This was not only completely unexpected and shocking but also eye opening. This world isn't the safe place I knew as home, now I am much more aware of the man behind me in the super market line purchasing milk or that strange car parked outside my house a little bit longer than necessary. I am no longer the naive girl I used to be and I know that a lot of other girls that knew Jenny have been affected the same way. "Woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil has gone down to you! He is filled with fury, because he knows that his time is short." (Revelation 12:12)

And secondly my sweet Priscilla was put down the 25th of March and her "absence has gone through me, like thread through a needle, everything I do is stitched with its color." (W.S. Merwin) She managed to bite open her tumor Wednesday night, even though she didn't seem to be in any pain we couldn't have left her opened like that. So we rushed Priscilla to the vet as earliest as they could take her and had her put down. My brother, my mother and I sat there all crying for the loss of our fury friend. We asked to have the body returned to us so we could bury her in the garden. She now resides under the wild yellow tulips that come out every hot summer. Her active craziness will be always missed.

Aside from all that sadness I have just been very busy with my last year of high school. I just can't wait to graduate on June 5th and start the rest of my life, the beginning of something new.

P.S. If you didn't know Priscilla was my pet rat.
