the sun does arise,
and make happy the skies;
the merry bells ring

--

I'm Heidi, but you can call me Red Owl.

There is not much you need to know about me. I am your regular old teenage writer, trying to find her place in this world and failing miserably. My life has not been very easy, but in some ways, it is very rewarding. I just have to learn to live each day to the fullest and never forget why I am alive in the first place - the power of Jesus Christ. Sometimes that fact gets pushed to the back of my mind, when the darkness all gets to be too much, but I eventually return.

I am not the one to give up.

I will never give up, not on things I believe in.

-

more about me:

I am...

a writer.
a christian.
a teenager.
a girl.
trying to find my place in this world.
holding on.

my favorite music:

the fray.
delta goodrem.
carrie underwood.
kelly clarkson.
avril lavigne.
stellar kart.
casting crowns.
faith hill.
leann rimes.
and more...

-

I write poetry.
I write stories.
I write essays.

But more importantly...

I write.

I may not be very good - in fact, I'm definitely not, but I try, and each day, I get better. This is where I will try and write my thoughts, whether in prose or in poetry. Most of my stuff isn't very good, but this is my notebook. It isn't meant to be good. It isn't meant to be for show. This is meant to show my true feelings and whether or not you agree with me is yet to be seen.

So, if you want to see my thoughts...
