My tattoo seems to think so.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;
Here&#39;s how it began...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I&#39;ll make it short.&lt;br /&gt;
My parents were always &lt;strike&gt;strict&lt;/strike&gt; on me growing up.&lt;br /&gt;
So on my 18th birthday, I decided to get a tattoo.&lt;br /&gt;
I thought, &quot;What the &lt;strike&gt;hell&lt;/strike&gt; should I get?&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Well, I decided to get a &lt;b&gt;butterfly&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Symbolizing me spreading my wings and taking off.&lt;br /&gt;
The metamorphosis from a &lt;strike&gt;weary&lt;/strike&gt; cacoon to a vibrant &lt;b&gt;butterfly&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Butterflies&lt;/b&gt;, &lt;br /&gt;
more &lt;b&gt;butterflies&lt;/b&gt;,&lt;br /&gt;
my obsession continues...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
P.S... If you look closely, you can see &lt;i&gt;music&lt;/i&gt; notes :) &lt;br /&gt;

The other says no, and I love you too, our love is just big, and that is the truth. They fly away safely and Tree smiles and waves, with one branch as an arm, he stands there amazed. He asks to himself, why he&#39;s never had love, and as soon as he finishes his sentence, he feels he&#39;s been shoved. It was a mouse, who seemed as exhausted as ever, she said her name was Cheese, Tree thought that was clever. &quot;What is wrong? Are you okay? Should I get you some water? Or should I stay away?&quot; The mouse looks at Tree, and with a grin on her face, she tells Tree she likes company, and that was the case. The mouse sings and chants, and finds some new friends, then she turns to Tree, because his song still pends. Tree says he can&#39;t sing, because he&#39;s never been in love, the animal&#39;s gasp and moan, Cheese hands him a dove. &quot;This represents love, peace, and unity, this represent us, your friends, your community&quot;. At that moment Tree starts to wail, and turns away from the others, Cheese asks him what&#39;s wrong, Tree tells her his troubles. &quot;I&#39;ve never been in love, and I can tell you why, I&#39;ve been running to find, a good place to hide. I&#39;ve been hiding from a monster who wanted to take me, to cut me down, he wanted to slave me.&quot; Both start laughing and giggling away, by the time they stop to rest, it was time for a new day. So they call their new friends, and shout really loud, &quot;We are different, we&#39;re happy, we&#39;re getting married, and we&#39;re proud&quot;. They married, and that was that, a story starting with a shove, a story about how different two can be, and yet fall in love.&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://yeisyleyva.blogspot.com/feeds/7415282714607039842/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://yeisyleyva.blogspot.com/2010/03/to-my-future-child.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6313947345123784031/posts/default/7415282714607039842'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6313947345123784031/posts/default/7415282714607039842'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://yeisyleyva.blogspot.com/2010/03/to-my-future-child.html' title='To: My future child...'/><author><name>Yeisy Leyva</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13621132920316680595</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEij0JvsmJYJg9XuuRNkpU9RJnEST__MAIhs7vUq6qrNY-qFzKMuojeaMLMofsroxtc0_TTF3zS9Z--PHNPGESQ5jeA5Ffoc_0S0qwnoL1Eq5yi5dqvJKGA7AJTahObUEZQ/s220/Snapshot_20100416_1.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6313947345123784031.post-8798651716314600265</id><published>2010-03-17T21:26:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-03-19T21:23:12.840-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Forgiveness"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Poem"/><title type='text'>Forgiveness is Key...</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://i778.photobucket.com/albums/yy65/amyjayne10/Friends/2e11f4a0.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;240&quot; src=&quot;http://i778.photobucket.com/albums/yy65/amyjayne10/Friends/2e11f4a0.jpg&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Imagine yourself in your favorite place, the place your mind goes to   when you&#39;re only salvation is simply imagining. Picture it  yet?  That&#39;s one thing we have in common, hope. Some times it feels like it&#39;s  all we have. Picture hope running closer and closer to you as your day  finishes and you are left with only the taste of the unfinished meal you  had, doesn&#39;t it taste like fear? Fear for what&#39;s yet to come. Fear for  what tomorrow may bring you, or for the next day. Fear itself can make  love become...&lt;strike&gt;afraid&lt;/strike&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some of us live our lives like if it were a  planner, planning every detail of it and making no time for ourselves.  Some of us may even set aside our family and our friends to take action  in our more &quot;serious&quot; priorities. We may say, &quot;Well, you don&#39;t  understand. I have children, they keep my hands tied. Or, my work just  keeps me busy.&quot; Do we really want to wake up one day and contemplate,  &quot;Where did I go wrong?&quot;. This is where I come in... &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I am an inspirational, optimistic, wannabe guru so to say. My purpose in life: Make people happy, better, stronger. Doubt me not! I will finish my purpose.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Follow me, comment me, SUBSCRIBE ME!&lt;br /&gt;

Have a wonderful and beautiful day!&lt;br /&gt;
