Alone No More!!

A Place In This World
Taylor Swift
I don't know what I want, so don't ask me
'cause I'm still trying to figure it out
don't know what's down this road, I'm just walking
trying to see through the rain coming down
even though I'm not the only one who feels the way I do
CHORUS
I'm alone, on my own, and that's all I know
I'll be strong, I'll be wrong, oh but life goes on
I'm just a girl, trying to find a place in this world
got the radio on, my old blue jeans
and I'm wearing my heart on my sleeve
feeling lucky today, got the sunshine
could you tell me what more do I need
and tomorrow's just a mystery, oh yeah
but that's ok
CHORUS
I'm alone, on my own, and that's all I know
I'll be strong, I'll be wrong, oh but life goes on
I'm just a girl, trying to find a place in this world
maybe I'm just a girl on a mission
but I'm ready to fly...
CHORUS
I'm alone, on my own, and that's all I know
I'll be strong, I'll be wrong, oh but life goes on
I'm just a girl, trying to find a place in this world

This is probably my very favorite Taylor Swift song. Ever composed. It makes me nostalgic for those days when I was 18 and a recent graduate of Home School. That's right. When suddenly I was young, with a lack of ambition. I did not know what I wanted. Who I was at times. Or what I believed. Thus, the lyrics of this song speak to me!! I even have them memorized!! Word for word!! These same feelings arouse for me as a writer. Seriously!! For months and months, I wrote on this blog, with few people who ever read, or commented. They say that writing is a lonely business.... Then, I recently "met" three faithful, amazing "friends". Swift's song begins as a person who is wandering this solo path, but ends on an incredible positive note!! I love that!! Now, this is a good day. I am alone no more!! For Rose and I are on Coffee With A Canine!! This is an excellent blog, published by Marshal Zeringue!! Truly. It is a fun site!! Zeringue "interviews" people with their canines, plus reveals to everybody what their blogs are!! So come and visit Coffee With A Canine!! I have been feeling nostalgic about something else, lately, too. This blog, Beautifully Unique, my stories, pictures and more about Rose will someday serve as an irreplaceable site for me to visit.... When Rose is gone. It will rekindle many, many, many memories!! And so will my being featured on Coffee With A Canine. Thank-you, Marshal!!

"It's A... Terrible Privilege"

{Taken from "The Avengers"}
Tony Stark: You know, I've got a cluster of shrapnel, trying every second to crawl its way into my heart.
[Stark points at the mini-arc reactor in his chest]
Tony Stark: This stops it. This little circle of light. It's part of me now, not just armor. It's a... terrible privilege.
Bruce Banner: But you can control it.
Tony Stark: Because I learned how.
Bruce Banner: It's different.
[Banner tries to read the computer screen, but Stark slides the data aside with his finger so the two can see face-to-face]
Tony Stark: Hey, I've read all about your accident. That much gamma exposure should have killed you.
Bruce Banner: So you're saying that the Hulk... the other guy... saved my life? That's nice. It's a nice sentiment. Save it for... what?
Tony Stark: I guess we'll find out.
[Banner and Stark get back to work at their respective computers]
Bruce Banner: You might not enjoy that.
Tony Stark: You just might.

Raelyn:

I am a 31-year old American woman. I was born with multiple birth defects. Craniosynostosis. {I did not have any soft spots.} Congenital diaphragmatic hernia. {I had a hole in my diaphragm.} And Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome. {I had an irregular, rapid heartbeat.} All three birth defects have been surgically repaired!! I live with "developmental delays". Learning disabilities, if you will. Such as--unfortunately--premature short-term memory loss. Oh, and I have attention deficit disorder, as well!! I do not like to evade such an issue as my learning disabilities. No. It hurts sometimes to be different. I was also diagnosed with a condition called folliculitis decalvans. {I am more than likely going to lose my hair, go bald, and unveil twain Frankenstein-like surgically-created craniosynostosis scars. Permanently.} But God is gradually teaching me that we are all, as my phrase goes, Beautifully Unique!!
