BETTER TOGETHER- JACK JOHNSON

There is no combination of words I could put on the back of a postcard

No song that I could sing, but I can try for your heart

Our dreams, and they are made out of real things

Like a, shoebox of photographs with sepia-toned loving

Love is the answer, At least for most of the questions in my heart

Like why are we here? And where do we go? And how come it's so hard?

It's not always easy and sometimes life can be deceiving

I'll tell you one thing, it's always better when we're together

Mmm, it's always better when we're together

Yeah, we'll look at the stars when we're together

Well, it's always better when we're together

Yeah, it's always better when we're together

And all of these moments just might find their way into my dreams tonight

But I know that they'll be gone when the morning light sings and brings new things

For tomorrow night you see that they'll be gone too, too many things I have to do

But if all of these dreams might find their way into my day to day scene

I'd be under the impression I was somewhere in between

With only two just me and you

Not so many things we got to do or places we got to be

We'll sit beneath the mango tree now

Yeah, it's always better when we're together

Mmm, we're somewhere in between together

Well, it's always better when we're together

Yeah, it's always better when we're together

Mmm, mmm, mmm

I believe in memories they look so, so pretty when I sleep

Hey now, and when I wake up, you look so pretty sleeping next to me

But there is not enough time, and there is no, no song I could sing

And there is no combination of words I could say but I will still tell you one thing

We're better together.

Spring Break

Spring break is always a fun time to relax from school for a week and catch up on sleep. This spring break was really great. I hung out with my friends and went and saw Hunger Games, again. Then on Thursday i went to St. George to play soccer. We went to Southern Utah University and Friday morning, had a tour and played soccer for just about 2 days straight. It was really fun, but by the end i was so tired. This spring break was way fun, i enjoyed it a lot.

Dreams

One intellegent old man once told me, "Dreams be dreams." That is a phrase i will never forget. My name is Rachel. I have recently lost a lot in my life, my dad, boyfriend, and my dreams. Lets start with my dad, he was a great smart man. He would give me encouragement to go on everyday and be the best i could possible be. He was nice to everyone he came in contact with and he loved me. He was recently lost in a avalanche. I never would have thought i would loose my dad at the age of 17. Second, my Boyfriend. He was good to me, most of the time. He was a sweet boy, yet a little immature and kiddish. Im not saying thats a bad thing, its just something that every teen age boy needs to work on. We broke up for a few reasons, first because things were getting to emotional for him, and second because i wanted to date other people. But guess what? Yupp, hes the one with the 'new girl' now, and im stuck with nothing. And lastly is my dreams, since everything lately has been happening, ive gone downhill, everything. Im starting to act different, my grades are starting to drop, im starting to do worse at everything i was once so good at. My dreams are getting destroyed because of something that happened, some trials in my life. Its hard to look at everything how it used to be, and how it is now and how everything can change so instantly.

Outgrown

In your life everyone outgrowns something. One thing that i have outgrown is my baby blanket. When i was younger my baby blanket was always so precious to me. i didn't go anywhere without it. i would bring it to pre-school, church and even long road trips. Many years ago when my family and i went to Washington i accidentally forgot my blanket there, i was heartbroken. but luckily my cousins had it and were coming down to Utah a few weeks later. So eventually i would see my blanket again. Throughout the years i have become less and less attached to it, but i still wont let my mom throw it away. Now it collecting dust in my closet, but i still love my precious torn-up baby blanket.

One Day

One day i was walking down a small, non-busy street when suddenly a boy walking about 100 feet in front of me colapsed. Quickly i ran toward him to see what when wrong. He was about 30 years of age to my 27. He was freaking out, but unconcience. He was having a seizere. Quickly i held his head close to my chest, thats what i learned in med-school. So that he wouldnt hit his head on somthing that could kill him. I call 911. A few minutes later the ambulance arrived to pick this man up. They thanked me, and were off.

Some will miss out...

Some things in peoples lives are extremelly important to others. When an individual passes away or is lost for all time by their actions it can be very heartbreaking. You have been missing out on a lot. For example, being part of our life. Too busy for anything else but for you, things that benefit you. All I can think about is those nights together. How we would hang around and enjoy a movie, go stargazing, just have a good time. But now your missing out on something that could have been better then what we had. Going to atheletic events together and cheering on our teams. To look out into the crowd just to point out that special person, thats now gone, and missing out. Now there are many people in your life. Just as important to you as i was to you when we were the strongest. I guess some things just have to move on and forget that person missing out. Although some people miss out, some might not. I think about taking those chances to meet more people and become a better friend with those I come in contact with. These things will always make you feel better for the person who you think, and know is missing out.
