Description
my name isalyssa, and maybe it means
hold your breath or
chase the stars. maybe it is
that awkward shyness
of saying hello to someone
for the first time
or the warm feeling
from hugs and held hands.
maybe it means
maybe my wishes will come true,
someday or maybe
it is the sound of the wind
caressing leaves and the lullabies
of wind chimes, or maybe
it is the voice inside your head;
the shade of moonlight and
comets.
maybe 'alyssa' is a synonym
for hopeful and dreaming and
'full of life'. maybe it is the rush
in your ears while running,
the challenge of catching your breath again;
the music of wishing and the thrill
of living.
or maybe my name is just
alyssa
and maybe it only means
nothing.

Maybe it means
the stars and the moon
and fancy pirouettes and
cartwheels.
Maybe it means
not only sunshine and
flowers but also
rain and dewdrops.
Maybe it means
inspirations and epiphanies
and questions and thoughts.
Maybe it means
something wonderful
I think it means you.

I have a best friend,
her name is Alyssa.
She is amazing.
I'm sure that you are wonderful,
I bet your nice and interesting.
You are amazing too,
and you name doesn't mean nothing.
Your name means sunshine.
It's like rainbows on a cloudy day.
It will brighten the day
of someone, someday.
And it will bring happiness and joy to their life.

Maybe,
maybe it means
that you will chase your dreams,
that you will catch a heart like a fish-hook baited
with sugar and color,
that you,
that you will become something wonderful.
Maybe that's what it means.
Maybe.

Amazing
I must steal this idea somewhat
What is a name,
But the totality
Of the person?
What name could ever
Stretch beyond time
To encompass all
I am and could be?
All of the names I hear,
Are soundless and of the void.
So what then
Is the name written
In me? On my heart?
It is the name of joy, and pain
laughter and sadness,
Wisdom, and foolishness,
Strength, and weakness.
It is phoenix to some,
Yet the flavor of cocoa to others.
Who could say which is right?
Are they both me?
Or am I two in one?
Are we like the ancients,
Who long ago
Would name people
By their traits?
Or do we toss words
about for fun?
Is the name who I am?
Or am I just a name?
*runs off to go crazy read your gallery*

I think your name has more than 'nothing'
For I'm sure it means many things. One of which is TALENT.
or BEAUTY. or even LOVE.
Trust me, I'd kill to have your name.
be proud of it
And if you're not, at least figure that it's better than having a boy's name like I do!

It's Laurence.
My parents gave me a french name since I'm bilingual (dutch-french)... But I hate the name, because it's such a boy's name in English. And I will probably live in England once I finish my studies, so that is going to be a bitch!

I live in this boring country called Belgium
A place where your dreams probably won't come true.
At least, not mine..
(Messed up country, if you ask me.
We're so small, and still people are 'fighting' to split up this country again, while we fought so hard to unite it at first.
And we've got more ministers and crap than countries ten times bigger than ours have! A bit ridiculous, if you ask me )

(you know, I have absolutely NO idea! Our constitution is just very weird and I don't think even our ministers can figure out sometimes who is to do what. Maybe they are power hungry. More ministers means that there's less people without work? lol ^^. Let them have their fun in the parliament. They should just stop bothering us with the crap and give us some decent results of this government .. )
