I am extremely nervous about the upcoming election. It's historic really. For the first time, an election is in the hands of young America. We will decide the fate of our great country. There has been at least a twenty percent spike in voter registration among 18-25 year olds.... I couldn't be happier. I, of course, have my opinion, but I'm just hoping to see young people go out and vote no matter who they vote for. I think that we, especially young women, must stand for our basic rights at this pivotal time. Anyone who knows me is well aware that I will be casting my vote for John Kerry. No matter who you choose to vote for, be informed. Make sure that you know the whole story and not just what the media feeds us. Don't get me wrong, I love the news... I love magazines... And there are actually a few that I trust, I'm just saying, do your homework. And no matther what.... Get off your asses and vote on Tuesday. This is the one, and only, time that I can not support my fellow slackers. It's time that the future of America raise our voices and stand for what we believe in.Only time will tell.....

At 19, I thought that I had fallen in love for life. Although he would haunt me for years, and may possibly continue to for life, we didn't last. I loved him from the tips of my fingers to my toes. One of those all consuming loves. The kind that could quite possibly ruin a young girls life. And it almost did. It seems so obvious. Just walk away.... Forget about him. Not so easy. I thought that I had gotten him out of my system. But when I find myself sleeping alone and dateless on Saturday night, it was easier than it should have been to go there again. I was lonely and I knew that he cared. He said he was getting married... To her.... The girl that he left me for. I had played it coy for so long, but I relented. I asked him to be with me..... To not get married and be with me. He declined. He loves me... He wanted to be with me... But it was too late... He couldn't turn back now. That's what he said. I wonder how it is possible to love one person and marry another. I fear that he just apeased me. He was always a master at saying what I wanted to hear. It's just easier to believe that he loves us both. He did marry her. My heart breaks at just the thought of it. I knew it would hurt, and it does, but I've had a revelation. This sets me free. It's over. I'll never feel again like I did with him. We will never be together again. All within the confines of two weeks, I've let him go and I've faced all the truths about the other man I've loved. I feel empty right now, but it'll all come around. It always does. Now I can properly move forward. I can drop those walls and insecurities built by them.I hope he's happy...
