ali's Corner. [I'm Back]

my journey was shorter than expected.

God told me today that it was 'okay' to get back on.


but i feel...
....free.


no more spending hours online.

my family is much more important.

and well, no offense, much more interesting.


i love them so much.

they make me laugh.

they encourage me.

they've shaped me.

and continue to shape me.


keep reading
and i'll
keep writing.


oh yeah:
this is what i've learned about myself...

hi.
my name is ali.

i'm very reserved unless i have something to say.
usually it's something worth listening to.

outgoing people bring out the best in me.

i'm modest.

i take pictures.
i'm bossy behind a camera.
you will sit still until my shutter closes
or we'll have to do it again.

i play guitar.
i write cool songs.
i'm working on not being scared
to sing in front of people.
my lyrics have hidden meanings.
read one of my songs and they'll never fail
to tell you exactly how i felt while writing it.
i write songs about people i know.
listen carefully and it might be about you.

i know sign language.
i'm always looking for other people
that know it too
or a deaf person.
i love to have conversations and
be submersed in the culture.
i find myself talking and signing a lot.
i randomly finger spell words i'm saying
without knowing it.

i love Jesus.
he's my best friend.
he's helped me thru more than anyone i know.
i trust him with my life completely.

i've spent a lot of time not trying to 'find myself',
but rather 'create myself'.
i'm very mature for my age and
i understand things that a lot of adults don't.
i'm at a point in my life where i need
a reason to disagree or agree with things.
my views and opinions make a lot of sense
i hate when people hear me but don't listen to me.

i love my family more than anything.
i believe my parents are the best out there.
i couldn't ask for anyone better.
i love my two brothers && my sister.
my neice is the light of my life.
my hopes are to be a role model in her life
musically and artistically as she grows.

i'm ali.
i have a promise ring.
i won't give anyone my body
unless we're married.
but i'll give them everything else
and show them so much more
[love, commitment && trust.]

i like to surprise people.
i'd rather get hurt than hurt someone else.
i'm starting to like the color pink again.
my face && ears turn red when i talk to people.
i'm considered one of the guys.
i like to inspire people and make them smile.
