I'mFreeLove

Do you know that feeling you get when you leave someone who's been driving you insane? Well, she's left the building, if you understand what I mean. I don't think there's ever been a time in my life when I've been on a high like this one. Man, you have NO IDEA. I feel like dancing in the middle of the street naked. :P I'm joking about that, but still, I feel like I just exhaled and every tiny thing that was bothering me disappeared. This feels SO GOOD. 

It started like this:
Yesterday, the person that has been bothering me (you know, the one from my "It'sAnnoyingLove" post) deleted me on Facebook after she and I got into a heated discussion about religion. (That's why I wrote my other post yesterday.) The whole conversation actually started with me asking her why people were so upset with me over my decision to add the Anti Gay-Straight Alliance on Facebook. I explained my reasoning and everything, it was actually one of the most sound arguments I've ever put up with someone. Then she got all "Well the Bible also says..." Because I explained part of my reasoning to her from a religious aspect. I was like"'Well, yeah it does say that, but that was a rule God placed on the Jews and..." And then she tried to tell me what to think. That single thing right there bothers me more than all of the other things put together. Because if you really know me, you'd know that I am what I am. There's no changing that. 

So after that, she got really kinda mad, and when she got home, she deleted me on Facebook. And THIS FEELS SO GOOD. - Teale

I may not have brought this up before, but my dad is a chaplain. My whole life I’ve grown up as a Christian. Secondly, I know a lot more about the Bible than your average Joe. So don’t even try to tell me what the Bible says when you don’t really know it. Just because in the Old Testament, God created many rules for the Jews to abide by because the Jews are his Holy Kingdom on earth. He wanted them to be as much like him as possible. For instance, there is a rule in the Old Testament that basically says “If you hit your mom or dad, your punishment is death.” Umm, hello? I hit my mom or dad and my punishment is death? Like, WTF?! See, that is EXACTLY MY POINT. Those rules in the Old Testament were the rules that god made for the Jews.  Those rules were created for his establishment of his physical kingdom on Earth. However, I’m not saying that ALL the rules that god wrote for the Israelites don’t still apply, they actually do. The punishments on the other hand, they don’t apply.

Just look at it this way: 

The New Testament is the writings for the new promise that God created for his spiritual kingdom of believers.  The Old Testament is the old promise god made with the Israelites. There, understand? So don’t pretend like I don’t know anything. - Teale

It'sAnotherPoemLove :D

I've always wondered why you are the way you are,
How it is you ended up
Mixed into a convoluted story of emotions
Trapped
Wondering how you'll get out
I know that it's my fault
I'd hoped that maybe you'd help me get out too
That's why I dragged you into this
But I think now it's time to let you go
Time to let you do what you want to
It doesn't matter if I get hurt
Because if you're happy
I'm happy too. <3

So, I’m at the last performance of “The Hollow.” We’ve been on now for 13 minutes, and I’m actually kinda relieved that tonight’s our last show. The show’s SUPER AMAZING, but it’s been SOOOOOOO stressful for me. I hate that through all of the shows we’ve had, I’m the only that’s been doing anything. (And Steffany loves her for this ♥) Errgh, I guess this means that I have to tell you about everything from the beginning.      

So, I volunteered to select and create costumes for the show, and I was talking about how much I missed being on stage with a friend of mine. So she went and signed up to help – in the same department I signed up to help in. Right now you’re probably going “Well then why are you complaining?!” Well, I wanted to be back where I was truly comfortable without having to deal with anyone’s stupid crap and people’s criticism about what I picked out for the people to wear. But she and I wound up working together. At first, I was “the costumer.” And at the beginning, I was really weighed down with homework, and she went in to start picking things out. Truthfully, I think that the things she picks out to wear are well, in a word, ugly. That’s the honest to god truth. At first, I was like “ok, whatever, I can deal with this.” But then after that week, She was like “I’m the person now, you’re just my footstool.” Well, she didn’t actually say that, but that was how it came across. Anyway, she was like, “Yeah, I picked out all this stuff, and my mom and I did this and that and blah blah blah,” and I was like “Well, ok, yeah. That’s cool.” You know? But then as time went on, She started driving me INSANE with her, “I like this guy but he doesn’t like me” bullshit that she knows I can’t stand, and her “I like this, so this is what we’re picking for this character.” So, she acted like she was the leader all this time, and now when it comes down to it, she’s too scared to even set foot in the backstage theatre area while the show’s going on. She just sits in the drama teacher’s room and texts this guy she likes that I know couldn’t care less about her. I know that sucks for her and everything, but really I don’t care anymore. She still lives inside her head. She’s been acting like the only person that matters is her – like the entire damned universe revolves around her, and it’s pissing me off to say the least. She just sits in the classroom at the computer and doesn’t leave to help anyone or make sure everyone’s good. Instead she sits there obsessing over some guy she’s texting and being mad about another guy who knows in his head who and what she really is, and he likes one of our other friends. She’s been like, OVERLY JEALOUS of our other friend since this all started. Again, SHE’S DRIVING ME CRAZY!!!!! I mean seriously, could she please just get her head in the game, suck it up, and move on?!?!?! No, she can’t. It’s too late for that. So I’m just dealing with it. - Teale

It'sPoeticLove

Like I said in my last post, I LOVE POETRY. It's the perfect outlet for my ridiculous and overly dramatic life. Sometimes, I just boil over with emotion or people drive me crazy, and I start writing a poem to get all the crap out of my head. Other times, I can't find the right words to say or I'll write what I really want to say instead of saying something and hurting someones feelings. It's really nice to be able to say what you honestly want to say when you want to say it. Honestly, it's one of the only ways I can say what I need to say sometimes. But that in itself is amazing to be able to do, and I'm glad that I'm privileged enough to be able to.

The following is a poem I wrote about two weeks ago. It's untitled, and I hope you like it.

When we look up
eyes focused on the sky
Wondering what to do with our lives
And why we must grow old and die
We realize
Not our dreams
Our hopes
Our future
Can bring us down
Just the world can hold us back from our dreams.
But we can't let the world control us
Let it change who and what we are
Or else we'll all be the same
Driven mad by society's game.
Living to love
Loving to live
And daring to step foot outside the box of normality
Can make peace and harmony
Just one step outside that box can bring those dreams down from the sky.

Well, hi.

My name is Teale. I'm a poet, crazy person, friend, musician, language fanatic, photographer, actress, reader, dreamer, wonderer, and just really chill. I love to read, sing and write poetry. I like photography too, but I'm not very good at it. I decided my blog is going to be me, 5834%. I'm really opinionated, and I like to ramble on and on, which I hope won't drive you crazy. This is going to be the home of all the little things that I love. I hope you enjoy it. - <3 Teale
