OXYGEN

There I stood. At the edge of a cliff.

At the edge of the very world.

The wind blowing through my hair, through my white silk dress. Almost lifting my bare feet from the ground.

The unknown was below.

I heard sounds of water crashing, but below the cold mist I could see nothing but darkness.

I stood there, afraid. I wanted to leap, I was curious.

I wanted to experience something different in life.

I wanted to feel free and brave, but I just couldnโ€™t. I couldnโ€™t jump.

Then you walked up.

Slowly you walked, and stood right next to me, staring blankly into the deep darkness and unknown things that lurk below.

Then you looked up, straight into my eyes. And you smiled.

I smiled too.

We just stood, and listened to the terrifying sounds of the wind and waves.

Then you said you would jump with me.

You told me youโ€™d jump, and stay right by my side through the dark.

I trusted you.

You made me happy.

Suddenly the curiosity grew, and the fear didnโ€™t exist anymore.

We counted to 3

And we jumped.

We laughed and shouted as we leaped, and flew through the sky.

It felt as if I was floating. The adrenaline rushing through me.

Little did I know what was down there.

We both crashed into the waves, and we fell deep into the waters.

I opened my eyes.

You were right in front of me, nose just inches away from mine. Staring deep into my eyes, smiling that big smile of yours.

I giggled, and managed not to choke.

My heart fluttered, and jumped.

You grabbed me by the hand, and pulled me deeper to swim. Deeper, deeper.

Then, we danced.

Danced in the ocean. Swaying in the current, and twirling me. We shared something that felt electric.

We just kept moving with the waters. Your fingers linked in mine. It just felt right.

Then there was a noise.

You turned your head up to the surface of the waters, and the sunlight glinted off of your bright eyes.

I looked up too, but saw nothing.

Then the noise. It called again.

I couldnโ€™t hear what it was, but you heard it clearly.

Without hesitation, your hands slipped from mine and you started to swim back up.

I reached back out for your hand and grasped it, pulling you back.

You looked at me. No smile. No glare. Just a blank expression.

You shook free from my grasp and continued to swim. I tried to call out to you, but I gagged on the water.

I tried to follow you, but I couldnโ€™t. I tried kicking and pushing but nothing worked. Something was holding me down in the water.

I kicked and screamed to you, but you didnโ€™t hear me.

I kept swimming and pushing upward, but made it nowhere. You had just touched the surface, before I was dragged back down.

Something had a hold on me, and it was dragging me further and further down into the water. I cried and called out to you, over and over, but the saltwater filled my lungs.

I was running out of breath.

Running out of time.

It felt like there was a weight, pushing me deeper and deeper, drowning me.

Darkness overtook me, and I couldnโ€™t fight the storm that raged in the water.

And I couldnโ€™t stop the storm that raged inside me.

I just couldnโ€™t swim anymore.

I let it pull me down deeper into the dark. I let myself sink, and the water took my voice away.

I kept trying to call out, but I couldnโ€™t. My hair and dress floated through the water as I kept going deeper. My last bubbles of breath escaped, as I looked at the glimmer of the sunshine one last time.

Now here I lay at the ocean floor

where nothing happens

And darkness covers everything

I canโ€™t see the light anymore

And I canโ€™t breathe, but Iโ€™m still living.

I just exist.

Iโ€™m invisible, and nobody sees me through the dark of the sea.

Nobody can hear me, because Iโ€™m forever silent through the crashing of waves.

My voice is gone.

My hope.

My happiness.

Iโ€™m forever waiting until the day, when someone else just may take the jump

and dive deeper

to rescue me from this storm

where I may taste oxygen again.


Igniting Inspiration Week #9: Quotes of the Week to Ignite the Fire in Your Heart

Good Sunday morning yโ€™all! I hope that your day is full of sunshine. โค๏ธ Today I am back with Week #9 of the Igniting Inspiration series! Like every week, I am going to be providing a handful of encouraging quotes, and some hilarious MEMES for some laughs to kick off the new week!

I absolutely love talking with you guys so Iโ€™d love to chat with you about this past week! What was something you did this week? Something youโ€™ve been loving? Something you were extra grateful for? A special moment from this week? xD

Alright guys, here we go! Be sure to stay till the end for extra laughs!

*Once again, none of these images are my own unless listed otherwise*

I loved those so very much, how about you? โค๏ธ That feeling you have when you just happen to come across a quote or a bible verse and it speaks directly to your heart, Ahhh thereโ€™s nothing like it!

Okey dokey guys! You should know what time it is!

Haha I challenge you guys to go through all of these MEMES without laughing! If you accomplish that, then comment #DidntLaugh! And, if you canโ€™t keep a single giggle in like me, then comment #TotallyFailedAtThisChallenge.

Donโ€™t worry though pal *pats on the back*, Iโ€™m standing right there with ya. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Ready? Set? GO!

Thanks to the lovely Allie for providing a few of these MEMES ๐Ÿ˜‚โค๏ธ

Haha did you make it? Let me know down in the comments! I can totally tell you that I cracked up at all of these. ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿป๐Ÿคฃ

(Before we end the post, Iโ€™d like to ask anyone who has grabbed and displayed my blog button to please update it to the button displayed below. And, if youโ€™d like to swap buttons totally let me know because Iโ€™d love to! xD Thank you!)

Ahhhh, this is always the sad part in every post. โ€˜Tis the time where I must say farewell, and bid you all good day.

But hey, donโ€™t be so glum! (Okay Iโ€™m done with the weird accent thingy) There is so much more planned for future content here on Sunshine & Rain, so if youโ€™d like to see more, be sure to Subscribe by email to make sure you donโ€™t miss out!

Thanks a bunch for checking out the latest post in Igniting Inspiration! Iโ€™ll see ya again very soon lovely, keep smiling ; )

Busy Life & Upcoming Posts:

*a quite odd and random selfie shoot of mine for your entertainment*

Hiya hiya beautiful! Howโ€™s it goinโ€™? I hope your Sunday had been one of the best! ๐Ÿ˜Šโค๏ธ

Anyways, the reason Iโ€™m making this post, is because I didnโ€™t actually make the latest Igniting Inspiration Post this morning. I donโ€™t know if any of you noticed it, but I would still like to apologize for not having those quotes and MEMES uploaded, that I know you guys seem to love so much. I really enjoy making the Igniting Inspiration Series, and cannot wait till the next time comes where I can make the latest post in the series!

I have just been focused on other things this week, and havenโ€™t worked on blogging at all. I actually had a bunch of ideas for this week to work on, but Iโ€™ve been distracted from it altogether. I really wish I wouldโ€™ve had todayโ€™s post up for you guys, but life has had other things going on. Itโ€™s actually not just this weeks posts either, Iโ€™ve been missing so much with blogging the past couple months even.

I had actually started doing Life Updates in June/July, but unfortunately Iโ€™ve been so busy and distracted that Iโ€™ve missed 2 Life Update posts. I am not actually going to continue the Monthly Life Updates right now. It became a struggle to find even a few things I thought was worth writing about from the month, and I would much rather just write about something happened in the month whenever I have inspiration, rather than trying to fish for important things to include. Iโ€™m making a commitment to try and be more consistent with uploading and I canโ€™t wait to start posting more!

I definitely will make sure that I post this week, and Iโ€™m starting to work on the many ideas for posts that Iโ€™ve just recently done some brainstorming for!

So, I have included a list below of a bunch of Upcoming Posts here on Sunshine & Rain, that I am super excited for! Haha some of them are Holiday related so they wonโ€™t be uploaded for a few months, but I am still so pumped for them! Here are all of my post ideas! (Iโ€™m actually still working on adding more, but I donโ€™t wanna spoil to much ๐Ÿ˜œ)

Upcoming Posts:

*none of these are in any order whatsoever, just a bunch of ideas thrown together!*

Now, First are the questions that were asked by Allie!

1. What’s your all time favorite memory?

I don’t actually remember having one specific thing I wanted to be as a kid when I grew up, and I actually still don’t know what I want to be! I’m just going to trust that God will guide my footsteps and whatever he has destined for me to be then i’ll be!

Now onto the questions asked by Eliyah!

1. Summer or winter?

Definitely Summer, I can’t STAND winter sometimes! I mean I absolutely love snow, and Christams, and hot chocolate, and sledding I really do! But I also love the warm sunshine, the beach, flip flops, ice cream, bike rides and NOT literally freezing my butt off.

2. Can you do a backflip? (Ground or trampoline)

I can on the trampoline! And I used to be able to do it on the ground but I haven’t done it in forever so i’d be scared to find out if I still can.

3. Do you like dolls?

Yes I do! I have a couple of American girl dolls stored away with lots of other doll things, I haven’t actually gotten them out in awhile but yes I do like them! I was literally obsessed with them when I was younger haha.

4. If you could choose one board game or card game, what would it be?

Either Clue, or Scattergories. Those are my all time favorite games to play!

5. Have you ever gone fishing before?

I have! Quite a few times, I have unfortunately never caught a fish before and I have zero patience for fishing most of the time. It’s a very peaceful and quiet activity to me though, and I like that about it!

Thank you very much for this Nomination Eliyah! These were great questions, and I had so much fun doing this! xD

Well guys I hope you enjoyed this post! We are FINALLY at the end and this took about 3 hours guys so I am so pooped but it was so worth it and it was so much fun to do! *gets cut off by a horid dog fart* (dude did you just crap yourself?! That smells like DEATH) OK, Anyone else have a dog that like to fart alot or whose farts smell absolutely HORID? Let me know in the comments. (That should’ve been one of my nominees questions) *face palm* By the way guys, I wont be accepting any more nominations/awards for the rest of this month, just because I want to focus more on, well, the main focus of my blog ya’know? I don’t want to always be posting “just because” cause I have got alot of ideas for the blog this month so i’m gonna take more time to work on those! Don’t get me wrong, I really love and have fun doing these awards and appreciate everyone that thought of me, but I want to stay focused on working hard on some other things! Thank you!

Anywho, I’ll see you guys soon! Much love,

(are you kidding me?! guys my dog smells like he’s rotting from the inside.)

My first song cover: Dear Parents ~ Tate McRae Piano Cover

Hello my dandelions! Today I am here with my very first song cover here on my blog, so I am actually super excited! (I am also super nervous, literally about to post this and i’m getting jittery ๐Ÿ˜‚) If you didn’t already know, I have a huge passion and love for singing, instruments, and just music altogether. I play ukulele, and am also currently learning to play piano, so this is also sort of the start of my progress of learning piano as well.

Today I am doing a cover on Dear Parents by Tate McRae. This isn’t the full song, instead it’s just a smaller clip of it that I decided to video one day. I didn’t actually plan on posting it but decided to do it anyways so here it is haha! Click the link down below to see it!
