Progress always involves risks. You can't steal second base and keep your foot on first.

Stealing Second.
Life is scary. It involves doing things we don't want to, letting go of things we can't have, and moving on to big and better things for ourselves. One theory I live by is that the things that scare us the most are usually the most worthwhile. And if you don't risk anything, you risk even more. Life is short, and opportunties are rare and we have to be vigilant in protecting them. And not only the opportunities to succeed but the opportunity to laugh, to see the enchantment in the world and to live. Because life doesn’t owe us anything, as a matter of fact, I think that we owe something to the world. And if we can just believe in loving deeply, forgiving quickly, and taking chances, you'll never have any regrets. There's magic in the world but only those who seen it ever find it. So take risks. Try something new, find your passion, help save a life, fall in love, and find the magic in your life. There's so much to live for and so much learn.

For all the girls.
In response to my last post, I've had a few girls have come to me saying that they're going through the same situation. Missing a boy. It's amazing how many people can relate to you. Boys... you can't live with them you can't live with out them. So this is for all you girls who have ever loved someone, or had a broken heart; It gets better. Losing someone is hard and sucks, but with time and the support of family and friends, you can over come anything.
I know that feeling of waking up wondering how you are going to make it through another day without him, hoping that maybe just maybe he won't be on your mind all day. Hoping that your fake smile will fool the world and keep them from figuring out the despair and hurt consumes you, then crawling into bed every night praying that your dreams will become reality and waking up again to find that you are just starting the whole day over.
I've been there. I know how it feels to think your life will be this hard forever. But the truth is.. it gets better. I'm not saying that it isn't going to be hard, but you can do it. Behind every beautiful girl, there's a jerk who did her wrong, and made her strong. So find a passion that you can put your whole heart into. Find the person you can turn to, who makes you feel like you can conquer the world. Find the things that get your mind off your problems. And find the strength to push through another day. It's worth it. I promise you'll find him. Even if the one before was irreplaceable. If he was dumb enough to let you go, be strong enough to move on with your life. There is someone better. Believe it.
Life kicks you around sometimes. It scares you and it beats you up. But there is one day when you'll realize you're not only just a survivor.... you're a fighter. You're tougher then anything life throws your way. And you are.

On My Mind.
Well thanks to bored individuals both my laptop and home pc have crashed due to virus's. It's so frustrating to not be able to keep up on what's been going on online. But one advantage is that it's given me a lot of time to think about things. Life, friends, family, and.... love.
I've had one person on my mind a lot. Every song makes me think of him and is a constant reminder of what I can't have, and what I did wrong. I miss him. And it hurts to think that he was able to move on so quickly. But I haven't given up hope, love is still out there. Even though the world makes love look hard, I still believe that there is magic out there. And I believe that once in a while people push on to something better. Something found just beyond the pain of going it alone and just beyond the bravery and courage it takes to let someone in. Or to give someone a second chance. Something beyond the persistence of a dream.
I'm still looking for the right one
I don’t want him to be perfect
I want him to laugh at me trip me and then help me back up. Pick me up and throw me in the pool. Make me watch football for hours. Take me to the arcade and beat me
And love me for the person I am
He's out there. The one for me. And even though I miss you. I can't have you. I've accepted that. You can spend minutes, hours, days, weeks or even months over-analyzing a situation; trying to put the pieces together, justifying what could have or would have happened, or you can just leave the pieces on the floor and move on.
This is for you.....

Take Note.
I figured the best way to start my blog, would be to introduce you to a little bit of my life...
My name is Casey Nichelle Cook. I’m simple, open-minded and very blunt. I’m just an average girl that likes parties, gigs and special days with those I love. I’m a nice person in general. I’m very outgoing, there is nothing I love more then meeting new people. I love being outdoors and enjoying what God created. Spontaneous is my middle name. Life just became more unexpected than I had imagined. I'm scared and excited at the same time. But I know things will be good no matter what, because that's just how it goes. Family is absolutely the number one thing, and I have been blessed to be raised in the most amazing family. I’m the youngest of four incredible siblings, two brothers and one sister.
I’m an aunt of 4 nephews and 2 nieces they are the most adorable kids you will ever meet.
Music is my OCD, it definitely gets me through the day. I love taking pictures. I'm invincible because I don't do drugs. I’m a tom boy at heart. I hate snakes, if one gets near me I will probably cry and it will be one of the few times I will. I like when people use proper grammar when talking to me. I'm big on personal hygiene. I love dance parties and I daydream too much.
I might be a little reserved at first but that doesn’t mean give up. It takes a lot to earn my trust if I feel I can trust you you’ll know more than you want to. School is important even if at times I can take it for granted. I'm at the point in my life when I've come to realize who matters, who never did, who won’t anymore, and who always will. I don’t always get along with girls, because I can’t handle drama. I’m way to laid back and easy going to get involved in drama. Hence why I adore my best friends..
I have the best friends in the world! They mean more to me than they'll ever know. They're beautiful, intelligent and have always been there to support me. They’ve gotten me through some of my hardest times and I can’t imagine my life with out them. I couldn’t ask for better friends. I’m so blessed.
Alicia Card:
I’ve known this girl since the beginning of my junior year. 4 years and counting. Right from the beginning we became best friends and ever since have been inseparable. We have been through so much together, and even had our own falling out but we filled in the gap and have never been closer. I love this girl so much. It’s nice to know I always have someone to turn to, and I know she’ll always be there, with the best advice. From crazy drama to stupid boys, she can get me through it. Thank you Alicia for everything you deserve nothing short from the best. You have and always will be my best friend. I love you.
Jentry Hatch:
I have so many good things to say about this girl. We haven’t known each other long, but we can relate to so much. I see so much of myself in her. She’s absolutely stunning. You will never met a nicer girl. I know she’s got my back and can go to her with any of my problems. She so quickly has become one of the best friends I’ve ever had and I plan on it being that way for along time. Jentry you are wonderful, I love you so much. You are the third party that is sticking around. xoxo
Travis Wing:
Oh boy! I have a crazy relationship with this boy. We’ve fought a lot and both of us have had our moments but I wouldn’t change a thing. He knows me better then anyone, and has helped me get through so much. I miss him like crazy, and I can’t wait until he gets home so we can have our 5 hour conversations in his car. If you are looking for someone you can always depend on, Travis is your man. He can change the mood in any room, and I can always look to him to make me laugh. Even though I want to kill you sometimes, Travis you are best and I freaking love you
Kim Rangel:
I know this girl since 5th grade, that's 8 years. We are still really good friends. We have been through more together then anyone else. She's known me the longest and probably the best. I wish that we would hang out more then we do but I will always love her to death. She's absolutely darling and I love her. She's such an amazing friend.
I'm so blessed. I honestly couldn't ask for anything more. Great family, Amazing friends. I have it all.
