Sweet little pug dog
cuddle me to calm my mind
you are so precious 
 

For me it is hard enough to even show or have emotion, let alone fall in love. Then I met him, his name was Jared. He was ridiculously sweet, even when I didn’t laugh at his jokes. He didn’t seem to care that I didn’t show emotion. After spending a lot of time with him, I started to smirk and that smirk became a smile. I started showing more and more emotion. Not just happiness, I actually felt sad when I saw a dog die! It was like a whole new world. Eventually I had gotten a crush, It was so weird going red in the face every time I saw Jared. Of course, after having my first crush, I told my friends about it. My friends were relatively quiet about it. Unfortunately for me, there was this one loud friend, who decided it would be a great idea to yell that I had a crush on Jared. I immediately went red, and went to the bathroom. It took 15 minutes of crying / stressing about what to do next. Eventually I had to head out to my next class.

I just love the silver maple. The tree is not too tall nor too small, it is the perfect height for anyone to climb. I personally love the tree because when I am there it makes me relax and it just lets me think to myself. I connect with the tree really well because I open up to the silver maple. I don’t like talking to many people but I can just open up to the silver maple because it’s not a human. I either climb the tree or I sit at the stump of the tree. The silver maple will always be there for you unlike some friends. I spend most of my time by the tree and I just talk to it, there is no talking back and you can just let everything out. I feel free when I am there. I can be myself and not have to worry about it. The silver maple is peaceful, relaxing, and the best at not talking. The tree isn’t a human but it sure is a good thing to go to whenever you want. 

I had this great old pine in my backyard, the tree was taller than my two story house. I always wanted to climb it but I could not find a place to start. Then one day we had a big snow storm and at the bottom of the tree there was a small opening. I was able to go into the opening and climb the tree. I couldn't get to the top of the tree instead I made it about three fourths of the way there. It was like my naturally made tree house, I was able to keep some outside toys in the tree. The best thing was my older brothers could not figure out how to climb the tree. So if they were annoying me I would just go in the tree.   

Not many people know what this is, so I thought I would add a description!  I made this bracelet with embroidery floss and I knotted the threads together to create this!  As you can see, it is a tree displayed throughout the four seasons :).
