Savannah's Journal

The entire sleepover was awkward. Willow would be leaving soon, and Izzy and I grew further apart every day. To make matters worse, I desperately wanted to be there for Willow and make the night memorable, but throughout the evening I was easily startled. I couldn't even look in the mirror without remembering my reflection in the glas... Read more of this blog post »

Intertwined (Poetry)
1 chapters   —   updated May 27, 2011 10:51pm
Description: I wrote this poem after my Grandfather died when I was about 15 years old. It is unaltered, which means it is fairly raw. When he was dying, I pulled away from him. It was too difficult to watch. After he passed away, I felt guilty that I wasn't there for him. This poem is about my failure to stay at his side, and about what I envisioned for his afterlife.

“Life is filled with unanswered questions, but it is the courage to seek those answers that continues to give meaning to life. You can spend your life wallowing in despair, wondering why you were the one who was led towards the road strewn with pain, or you can be grateful that you are strong enough to survive it.”
J.D. Stroube, Caged by Damnation

“A complete stranger has the capacity to alter the life of another irrevocably. This domino effect has the capacity to change the course of an entire world. That is what life is; a chain reaction of individuals colliding with others and influencing their lives without realizing it. A decision that seems miniscule to you, may be monumental to the fate of the world.”
J.D. Stroube, Caged by Damnation

“All that is left to bring you pain, are the memories. If you face those, you’ll be free. You can’t spend the rest of your life hiding from yourself; always afraid that your memories will incapacitate you, and they will if you continue to bury them.”
J.D. Stroube, Caged in Darkness

Sanette Hi J.D.,

Thanks for the add! I look forward to comparing books and opinions. I love meeting other true L.J. Smith fans, I read HER vampire diaries (I refuse to read the fake ones) books so many times growing up that they fell apart and I ended up having to search the web for original copies to replace them :-)

I have been writing most of my life, but I was never brave enough to let anyone read them. I finally decided that it was better to put myself out there. :) I have to admit that it feels amazing to see that people enjoy what I write. :) Thanks for accepting the friend request! :) BTW, I noticed you have Dark Lover on your to-read list. You should read it soon! I didn't fall in love with the series until book 2, but it is an amazing series!
