Treasure: A.K.

You wake up every morning before the rest of the world.
If I woke up at the same time, I'm sure I'd see how very tired you are.
You only wake me briefly for a sweet kiss goodbye.

When you're at work you do everything that everyone else won't do.
You give it you're all- because like you say its "the right thing to do"

You won't call in sick... Even when I beg you to.

The world is a playground to you. You are entranced by everything you see.

You're brain thinks things that are brilliant.

You have concern for strangers. I don't understand how you do that.
You have compassion. Understanding.

You love and love and love.

You help me clean up my messes big and small.
In the kitchen, and in life.

You give and give and give.

You're eyes are so blue. And so very big.
Just like your heart.

Your hands are always rough and dry.
They are the same hands that hold mine everywhere we go.

When you sing, my heart races.
Only you ad Michael Buble are capable of this.

You're so perfect.

I'm so flawed.
How can I ever deserve you?

I love you.

Treasure: Ability to express

I am so glad there are so many ways to express oneself. I express myself in numerous ways, however poetry is a favorite of mine. I like to captivate others through my thoughts. Words are so powerful, and with poetry I get to play with words, in a way that I could not speaking.


I trusted you
But you tore me apart.
You ate me alive.
Used me.

This time it will be different.
You don't get to be present.
You don't get to have any control
over my world.

I'm gonna get it right this time.

There were several doors
I could have re-entered into.
Instead I chose to face you.
Though I may wish to be fearless-I'm not.

But I don't need to be.
Because I don't need to be scared of you.
I refuse to be scared of you.
You won't exisit to me.

I deserve this.
I want this.
That makes it mine.
THIS is mine.

Try and take it
But you'll fail.

Ready, set, go.

Treasure Uncovered: Understanding/Trials

It's amazing how close minded and selfish I can be, without even doing it on purpose!
I'll admit that sometimes I think I have it harder than everyone else- But honeslty, what a dumb thought!
Tonight I'm grateful for the treasure of trials, accompanied by understanding.
I heard from two friends this evening, who both are having a rough time- to say the least.As each poured out details about the events that occured, my eyes were opened to see something I should have seen long ago...
The things my friends are going through are things I have similiarly gone through.But this is a blessing in disguise.
It is heartbreaking when a friend is going through hard times. And it's a horrible feeling to not be able to fix their problems. These are people you care about. You don't want to see them in pain-especially when you have a pretty good idea what that pain feels like.

It's a treasure to see that everyone struggles. Seeing that tonight taught me a valuable lesson! That lesson being that I should do all I can,  to be there for those I care about when they are in times of need! Not only because it's the right thing to do, but because in many cases, I've been there!!! I've felt the hurt. It would be utterly wrong to sit idly, and not try to help.
 It is a treasure to have trials, because they teach us how to love others.Trials teach is howto be there for the ones we love. I am so glad I found this treasure. Having a decent understanding of what others are feeling helps us remember what we have felt. "What would I have wanted someone else to do for me back then, when I was experiencing this...?" With this frame of mind, I could help in a more intimate and personal way. Maybe I could help ease the pain?
The Treasure of Understanding. The Treasure of Trials.

Dear Reader,

((To Dad: I know I have a million blogs. But disclaimer- I forgot my password to the old one and couldn't retrieve it. That being so, I must start a new blog! ))

So, here I am starting a new blog! I thought to myself- A new blog deserves a new title.

The title I picked is, (obviously) "The Treasure Hunt". I picked this name because I like analogies...

Everyone has something that drives them- A dream, a goal, an ambition. Sometimes it is a cluster of different ambitions, while other times there is a single pursuit in mind. Many have something of value they want to possess, while others are simply trying to hold tight to the treasures they already have. For those who find their greatest comfort in material things, treasure could be money. For those struggling to keep their lives treasure could be more time. To each their own. Ideally, we all want the things that we believe will make us the most happy. For me? Well...

I want to possess the treasure of a balanced life.
I want to see more clearer perspectives.
I want to possess and hold on to true friendships.
I want the strengthen relationships in my family.
I want to find and BE the most real, most refined me,
I want love.
I want the treasure of a mind that is healthy and at peace.


To me, on my individual treasure hunt, those are among a collection of things I value most, because I believe having them will make me happier. Those are my sweet treasures. Some, I am trying to hold on to, while others I've yet to find. This hunt is a process, not a single event. As I learn, grow, and find treasures along my way I invite you to read along. Maybe you can learn from me. Maybe, you can avoid the disasters I find along the way, and not have to experience them. Maybe my hunt will aide you in yours.

Good luck on your journey,
Hannah <3
