|04:25| Untimely

No one was ready

No one ever would have been

He didn't pass on a stormy Sunday

He passed on a sunny Wednesday

We didn't stay inside and mourn

We wandered the woods

It was too soon

It will always have been too soon

|12:08| What I love about you

You stole my heart with your sense of adventure. I’m tired of feeling like I’m stuck at home because of the person whos supposed to be my best adventure. You changed that.

I fell in love with your eyes, the way they twinkle when you look at me and smile. They give away your mood, no matter what it is, those eyes cannot lie to me.

I fall for you more every day, with every smile I see curl across your face, with every soft word you whisper to me, and everytime you stand by me through the good or the bad.

When I met you, something inside me changed for the better. You are the one for me.

|09:17| My siren

I remember a time before I met her, when my thoughts were my own and I could breathe easy. When I could get through a day without each action being a battle.

When she is here my chest feels tight and my lungs struggle to fill with air. My head throbs from too many thoughts that ricochet around my skull, not staying still long enough for me to understand them. It feels as though I'm under water and I can't move a muscle. She is my anxiety.

She is a siren, if you listen to her she will drag you down and drown you.

|01:01| A sign of true trust, Coyote let me steer his rally car while we were cruising on the highway.

|01:18| Knight in Dirty Coveralls

I’ve been with Coyote for 2 months and he is everything I’ve been looking for in a guy. He treats me like I’m a queen, but hes not a king. A king to me sits on his throne of entitlement and bosses people around. Hes a knight because he puts effort into what he does everyday, hes loyal to his friends and he definitely swept me off my feet. But he doesn’t wear the shining armour that most girls seem to want, he wears his dirty coveralls and I have so much respect for what he does that I wouldn’t ever try to change that.

|07:20| This is me

I guess its time for me to introduce myself. My name is Lynx, at least for the purpose of this blog. I'm 21 years old and I live in Alberta. I'm pretty athletic, I coach ski racing and play ultimate frisbee. I'm currently attending post secondary for business administration but intend to get a trade in the near future. I love travelling and trying new things. I love to draw, I carry my sketchbook everywhere I go. I'm surrounded by amazing people who are very supportive.

I absolutely love my life and am very excited to share moments of it with people through this blog.

|00:00| Introducing Fern

Fern will be with me for the rest of my life. Toe she is proof that Family is more than blood. We couldn’t have been any older than 12 or 13 when we knew we were more than friends. We’re sisters. We were sitting in her bedroom, muching on some pizza bought with leftover allowance when one of our friends texted her, asking her on a date. We needed to put our heads together to figure out how she would turn him fown without ruining the friendship. Our solution was to say that the 2 of us were dating. After a few texts of convincing, he bought into it, in fact he shared this information with some of our ither friends. Although initially this rumour lasted a few weeks, we would have no hesitation reigniting it to avoid more uncomfortable situations.

|11:26| The gondola

It was 3 weeks after initially meeting Coyote, and we were in the mountains together, hours from our homes. He was the first guy to ever come to the mountains with me, and he had no problem keeping pace with me and my friends. We shredded until the hill was closing, long after my friends had started making their way back to the cities.

On our last run of the day, we passed a sign informing us that skiing was not recommended beyond this point and we quickly learned why, we reached the top of a large cliff with a steep landing. We sat down and he lit a cigarette, inhaling deeply and letting the smoke roll out across his lips.

We gradually made our way down the cliff and headed towards the gondola to conclude our day. since almost everyone had left the hill already, we were alone on our journey down. I sat on his lap, facing him so I’d be able to kiss him, as we neared the bottom, I looked him in the eyes and asked if he wanted to be my boyfriend. 

“I’d be an idiot to turn that down”

|11:05| Start of my best adventure

Its may sound cliché but meeting him was the best day of my life. My favourite band had a concert in town and I'd managed to convince my friend Bear to come to it with me. We were sitting just outside of the main hall, catching up on the past few weeks and exchanging somewhat awkward glances with what appeared to be a couple sitting across from us. The female was slender and elegant even in the baggy hoodie she wore, she had long brown hair that cascaded in casual curls down her back. The male was scarfing down a slice of pizza like it was the only food he'd eaten this week, he also had beautiful brown curls that fell out of his flatbrim hat, just reaching his shoulders.

Bear stood up and I promptly followed as she began to stride across the hall to introduce herself to these strangers. We quickly learned that they were siblings, and they were here from out of town just for this concert. The conversation flowed casually as we spoke about careers and politics until the headlining band came on. We all rushed into the main hall. Coyote had finished his pizza, and we left his sister with Bear and took off towards the mosh pit. We danced together and took our turns in the mosh pit for what felt like minutes but in reality was hours before we took off to the beer gardens to cool down and grab a drink. A cute blonde girl had made an attempt to dance with him, but he was too fixated on the way my hips were moving against his body to care.

When we were on our way to rejoin our companions, he grabbed my arm and pulled me in for a kiss. In that moment, I knew.
