It's been a while since I have written but since I know no one really follows my blog I don't have to worry. It's spring again in the mountains, oh what a wonderful time of year! We are living in South Asheville now no more West Asheville. But inevitably we are moving once again in a few months to Vermont. I have never lived out of the state before it should be a new and exciting experience. Tommy and I are going on vacation this week to Vermont. I am really looking forward to it. I wish I had money but a vacation away will be nice. I have been working here and there living in Asheville this last year has taught me a lot. It's taught me to try and survive on my own and sometimes I wonder how well I am truly doing. Little by little I am learning how to make ends meet with the little I have. I understand now the burden of responsibility, even with the little I have compared to most adults. I am pretty care free in my duties, no kids, no major debt, just the little credit card bill here and there. But it seems like between paying rent and groceries there isn't much left. I can't understand how most people raise families it is simplt impossible without a living wage. Living wage... something Asheville doesn't know much about. South Asheville is the most disillusioned place I have ever lived it's a whole different town than Asheville. There are just so many rich people that have moved here from out of town and are trying to create there little New York or Florida without regard to the local's trying to make it in their hometown without rich folks moving in and driving up the cost of living. The economy has gone from bad to worse and I can't imagine it getting much better anytime soon. Oh well I guess that's why I have chosen to go into a massive debt to hide away in school again and figure out how to make my way in this world. I just feel lucky I have such a great man by my side to help my get through it all. And speaking of great people it has been so nice having my family and old high school friends around again. It will feel like leaving all over again when I go this time. I already feel the change Syd went back to Chapel Hill for the summer and Ashely is leaving on a summer road trip next week. Where are all friend going. How am I going to make the summer last? Good thing I have my bike. I have really been loving my new road bike I never knew I would love road biking. I get scared riding around traffic but I love being on those backroads rediscovering my hometown. The mountains of North Carolina have never looked so breathtaking than on my bike.
Have you ever thought about what protects our hearts?
Just a cage of rib bones and other various parts
So it's fairly simple to cut right through the mess,
And to stop the muscle that makes us confess
And we are so fragile,
And our cracking bones make noise,
And we are just,
Breakable, breakable, breakable girls and boys
And you fasten my seat belt because it is the law
In your two ton death trap I finally saw
A piece of love in your face that bathed me in regret
Then you drove me to places I'll never forget
And we are so fragile,
And our cracking bones make noise,
And we are just,
Breakable, breakable, breakable girls and boys
And we are so fragile,
And our cracking bones make noise,
And we are just,
Breakable, breakable, breakable girls-
Breakable, breakable, breakable girls-
Breakable, breakable, breakable girls and boys
