"Carpe diem! Rejoice while you are alive; enjoy the day; live life to the fullest; make the most of what you have. It is later than you think."

I'm sure it's beautiful up there, Tom. To the Elliott family, especially Kevin who honestly is my best friend, I love you guys and will always be "just up the hill" for you.

Want more updates on me? I'm sure maybe the one reader I have does. go to www.amymarissa.tumblr.com

lovesongs.

You know you have a "too nice" problem when a love song comes on, and you think about someone else's situation. I want to text them to tell them they're not alone, and John Mayer feels the same way, but I can't because that would be a little too weird.
Maybe it's actually a problem called "Amy doesn't have a life, or love life".

Other times, I cry for people. If I know they're numb and can't cry for themselves, I cry for them. I don't tell them though, because that would also be weird.

your heart is an empty room.

I used to realllly love Death Cab for Cutie. I just recently found this song. It's gorgeous.

wanderers...

over the past few days, i've gotten a lot of hits from a lot of different places.
what brought you here? i'm so happy to have you all...even if it was by accident.

one thing ....

there's one thing I wish:
that nursing wasn't such a cliche job.
like when you're young....
and you learn about different careers: let's name them off.
nurse
doctor
firefighter
policeman

chef
astronaut
postman
I wish I had a cool, long title for a name. maybe i will someday. perhaps.
Nurse Amy, CJFDSKLIW.
That will stand for something very important one day...
you might just have to substitute a letter. Or two.


Oh and P.S.......Fun Fact: Penn State Nursing program does not give you a Bachelor's of Science in Nursing. . Just a Bachelor's in science.
So my name tag will read......"Amy Madden, R.N, B.S."

That's b.s.

and again...

Please go to my tumblr. It's lonely. It wants followers. I feel like it's closer to my heart now. It's like a little beautiful mini scrapbook where I can write, put quotes that I love dearly, and post pictures that mean something significant to me.

One of the most beautiful lines in a song:

"I�m in love with a girl who'�s in love with the world
and I can�t help but follow
though I know someday she is bound to go away
and stay over the rainbow
gotta learn how to let her go
over the rainbow "
-"Keep it Loose, Keep it Tight" by Amos Lee


p.s. for the first time in my life, while looking at jobs, looking at applications and dates, my future world is spinning around...I don't know if I want to graduate anymore.

after a while, it all comes together.

After awhile you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul, And you learn that love doesn’t mean leaning and company doesn’t mean security.

And you begin to learn that kisses aren’t contracts and presents aren’t promises.

And you begin to accept your defeats with your head up and your eyes open, with the grace of an adult, not the grief of a child.

And you learn to build all your roads on today because tomorrow’s ground is too uncertain for paths. After awhile you learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much.

So plant your garden and decorate your own soul, instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers. And you learn that you really can endure… That you really are strong, And you really do have worth.
