To Mrs. Skye

There is a girl who sits in our creative writing class. She has green eyes and bruised knees. She understands what a broken heart is and how it can be fixed. She knows the meaning of being real. She really knows how to connect with others and she knows how to write her heart. She is a girl with an impressive mind and I think everyone should have a chance to talk with this girl. This girl is named Kailee.

I've only talked with Kailee a few times, but she has always been very kind.

Her blog is just as impressive as herself.

In my opinion, her blog, Navy Skye, is one of the best blogs in the class. Her writing is real and she is 100% artist. Her blog is something that is very beautiful and anyone who says she isn't anything less than a great writer is just jealous.

Some of my favorite quotes I liked from her blog:

  • "A gap toothed, freckled nose, green eyed face with a voice so quiet she believed no one could hear her, but God did."

  • "Because nearly broken things still work, That's all that matters"

  • "i hate high school, 
    but i don't want to grow up. life just gets harder, more people die and you have to buy college textbooks."

As I read more and more of Kailee's posts, I was filled with more and more emotions. I felt hope and sadness and frustration and joy. I cried. Not the type of cry I cried when my grandpa passed away or the type of cry I cried in church once, it was the type of cry that you cry when you are so filled with emotions, you don't know how to feel.

Her writing makes me jealous. I want so badly to be able to share myself like she can.

Kailee is real. Kailee is the shiz.

I've been coming up with songs that could fit her and this is the list I've come up with.

  • Dauoalogn - Sigur Ros
  • Stay Alive - José González
  • Montana - Youth Lagoon
  • Breathe Me - Sia
  • Outro - M83
  • Ghost in the Machine - B.o.B
  • Picasso - The Cinema
  • Summertime Sadness - Lana Del Rey
In all, Kailee is someone who can make other people feel things. Having read all of her posts, I can honestly say that she is one of my favorites in the whole class. If you haven't read any of her posts, please check them out so you can experience it as well. You will not regret it.

Thank you for sharing yourself with us Kailee. You've done exceptionally well.

I'm not sure whether or not I want to actually post this. I'm afraid that people will see me differently than they do now. I don't want that. Or maybe I do. I'm still just trying to figure out who I am as a person and people expect me to be applying for college and leave everything for 2 years and get good grades and keep a job and be kind to everyone and I just don't feel there is enough time for everything. I don't want this to sound like I'm revealing my pen name, but here goes nothing. My name is Tanner Johanson. I was almost named Dylan, but my parents decided to switch at the last second. I've always been quiet until you get to know me. I don't have very much self confidence, but I barely make it by with what I got. I feel more pressure than is needed. I don't like school, but I tell people to go there and learn as much as possible. I tutor, yet I don't do my own homework. My actions and words are pretty hypocritical and I hate that...

This

Here we are again. New semester, new classes, new teachers. Same faces. And with only a semester of school left, this will be it. No more new classes. No posting schedules on Instagram or Facebook with the caption of "Any classes anyone???" This is it. For all the Dallin Ferrels, Jake Ervings, and Ben Clarks. It's time to fight on and reach our peak. Or so we have been told for the last three years of our lives. And for the first two years, I have just been getting by. I do not know what would have happened if I hadn't taken Mr. Nelson's class in 10th grade. That class was where I felt alive in one of the deadest places in all of Utah valley from 7:45 to 2:15 on Mondays to Fridays. If I hadn't taken that class, I probably wouldn't have been in Creative Writing and not have been in this class. If I were to map out my high school life for you all, you all would see things that may make some of you cry. But then again, maybe not. I was never a football or ...

Heart

I guess I am supposed to write about my heart. But I'm afraid of what my heart has to say. I'm fearful to write this post because I truly do mean the words I am typing on the screen. I do not know exactly what my heart wants to say. Not this week. Not any week. I feel like I do the exact same thing every week. But I don't know any other way. I sit at my computer and stare at the screen for a few hours because I want to make my writing good. I want people to comment and tell me its really good and I want Nelson to put it in the top five. I have been told a few times that my writing is good. And I do truly believe that there are some people who think my writing is good. But overall, I feel like it is my heart I try to impress most often. I write and write and write and I feel like the more I write, the more unimpressed I am with myself. I don't feel adequate enough for myself. And because of that, I don't feel adequate enough for the class or for Nelson o...
