I went to visit my cousin and her kids on very short notice last tuesday, and I have to say, I had a pretty good trip! We managed to also go out and visit my mom, who I hadn’t seen since christmas, so that was really fun as well. the drive from here to my cousin’s is about 3.5 hours, and then to my moms is an additional 2 hours, and I forgot how beautiful it is driving out there! The scenery is so amazing, with all the forest, and lakes, rivers, mountains…it’s pretty spectacualr to see! (Incase you don’t know where I live.. i’m from Newfoundland, Canada). If you’ve never been here, and seen this gorgeous part of Canada, I definitely suggest it. It’s really a treat for the eyes and the senses. And, believe it or not, you can even find a few gorgeous beaches! I was at an awesome beach while I was on this trip, nothing but white sand for 12 miles.. absolutely breathtaking!

Even though I really enjoyed my time away, I’m so glad to be home. I missed my sweetheart soooo much, and I even missed the cat. I also missed the city life here.. it just seemed too quiet in those smaller towns for me now. Well, enough about that though lol.

My man and I are hopefully getting a new kitten in a month or so. A co-worker of his is looking for homes for 4 or 5 kittens who are only about a week old right now, and there is an orange and white kitten that we both kind of fell in love with already, so hopefully we can take that one! If not, i’m sure we will agree on one of the other kitties..they are all frickin’ adorable!

Anyways, I am off again, as I have sooo much to do today! I’m going to rearrange the cupboards and stuff, i’m kind of OCD sometimes lol!

Much Love,

Erica

One of those days…

I guess i’m just having one of those days when you feel like you’re incapable of truly being happy. I feel as if everything I ever loved is just a lie. Music has always been a huge part of my life, but today, I wonder is maybe I shuold just give up all those dreams, and come up with something new, fresh, different. I mean, seriously.. what have I really done to be heard, to get noticed? I’m too shy to really do anything beyond the odd wedding or special event. I DID try out for Canadian Idol, but was told I was too shy and that I lacked the confidence that I really needed, even though I was a good singer. I mean, all I really do musically right now is sing on some karaoke website that is filled with people who are sometimes very genuine in their feedback, while others are mecanical, robotic even. They say the same things over and over, and never truly tell you what they really think. And i’m sure no big-time person is in there looking for the next great voice to put out there. I don’t even get to do what I really love…playing piano, guitar, whatever. Maybe i should just forget about it all and get a fucking life.

Hey all.. Blog #1!

Hey Everyone! To anyone who’s actually reading this, thanks for taking the time! This is all pretty new to me, so I’m not even sure what to expect from this yet. But, I am pretty excited – I finally have a place to express my thoughts and share it with others.

For now, I’d just like to give a brief introduction of who I am – a very honest introduction. I’m Erica, from Newfoundland, Canada. I’m 23 years old, living with my boyfriend, and I have absolutely NO idea what I want to do with my life. Music keeps calling to me, but i’m too shy and I lack the confidence needed to really pursue that kind of career, so I sit here alone every day while my boyfriend is off to work at a job he loves doing, while I only dream of what I could be if i’d just get rid of my inhibitions.

My mind is constantly jumbled with a million thoughts, so, I write a lot. Sometimes it’s lyrics for a song, sometimes a poem, while other times it’s just random thoughts and feelings that I can only really express through words.

I’m a very private and withdrawn person to people I don’t know or have only been aquainted with though, so It’s surprising that i’ve even considered blogging. But, here I am.. and i’m excited about it, and hopefully I won’t bore any readers with my random writings.

For the most part, I’ll be writing my thoughts, aspirations, hopes, and dreams here, as well as venting frustrations..but also, I may occasionally discuss things that are important to others – stuff that’s been happening in the world we live in…

But until then…see ya later!
