Music | Almost Lover by A Fine Frenzy

June 9, 2019 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

My voice is still wrecked from when I was coughing up my lung but I picked up the guitar and started playing through really old songs. This one brings me back to college with a friend who would knock on my door many times, day or night, with tears streaming down her face. The only thing she wanted was for me to play my guitar and sing to her. This was one of the songs she would repeatedly request.

Because of these interactions with her, I ended up writing something in her point of view. I later turned that into a forty-second piano ballad which is still hilarious to me because I don’t even know how to play the piano. It’s still one of my favourite, most powerful pieces ever.

Well, I never want to see you unhappy
I thought you’d want the same for me

…

So you’re gone and I’m haunted
And I bet you are just fine
Did I make it that easy to walk right in and out
Of my life?

Music | Scars on My Heart by Del

June 4, 2019 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

I’m fragile from my past and
I’m scared to open up

…

Is my heart still not ready?
Is it just not my time?

…

Cause I still have scars on my heart
From where it shattered and broke
I still have a love letter in the drawer that he wrote
I still feel the pain every once in a while
And I’m just hoping for a reason to make me smile

The girl that I was when I was
Living in blue
Is never a girl that needs to come back soon
Come back soon

Cause I’m finally getting stronger and
Standing on my own
That doesn’t change the fact that I still feel alone

Music | Our Time Together by Ivan B ft. Marie Elizabeth

May 5, 2019 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

My mind is saying, “leave you”, but my heart says, “no”
You made your choice, but I can’t seem to let go
Thinking of your voice in a world so cold
I’m breaking down now, but I won’t let it show
And even if I’m crazy, doesn’t mean that I’m wrong
Wonder what you’re thinking as you listen to this song
I’ve been lost in my mind, but I’ma tell you I’m fine
But what’s the point of “The One” if you find them at the wrong time

…

Picking up the phone, then I’m putting it down
Like who am I to go ruin the happiness that you found?
I kept going to tell my friends that it was all so dumb
Then I’m writing in my room until my heart goes numb
Till my pens all done, you know my heart wants more

…

You left a hole in my chest that I don’t think I can fill
It’s like we met in a dream, but the feeling is real
And I can write a thousand lines, all the stars could align
What’s all the love in the world if you find it at the wrong time?

Music | The Love of a Man by Cimorelli

April 24, 2019 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

The raining and thundering outside is a reflection of how my heart is currently. I haven’t listened to any music since the last day I ever saw Scruffy and Luna’s face. He’s happily moved on and I’m just a blimp in his past so I figured enough time has passed but boy was I wrong. Every single word from this song is like it’s coming from my heart.

I didn’t want to hurt myself
I didn’t want to hurt anyone else
I just wanted the love of a man
And that’s where my trouble began

I didn’t want to be in pain
I didn’t want to throw it away
I didn’t want to feel so insane
I didn’t want things to end up this way

I just wanted him to hold my hand
I just wanted to be in his plans
I just wanted him to understand
I just wanted the love of a man
I just wanted the love of a man

I didn’t think it all through
I just wanted to feel close to you
I was so numb to the core
I just wanted to open the door

I didn’t mean to give so much away
I didn’t want to feel this shame
I didn’t want to be in this place
I didn’t want things to end up this way

I just wanted him to hold my hand
I just wanted to be in his plans
I just wanted him to understand
I just wanted the love of a man

I just wanted to feel something
I didn’t want it to burn or sting
I thought I could drink from this cup
But the poison is tearing me up
It’s tearing me up

I just wanted him to hold my hand
I just wanted to be in his plans
I just wanted him to understand
I just wanted the love of a man

I didn’t want to hate myself
I didn’t want to hate anyone else
I didn’t want to throw so much away
I just wanted the love of a man
I just wanted the love of a man

2018 Rodeo Houston | Luke Bryan | Priscilla & Mellie Dee

Priscilla and I made plans to see Luke Bryan in less than a five-minute text conversation. My most spontaneous “yes” and it was an amazing experience. Note to self: Make more spontaneous choices.

They had some great garlic cheese fries that’s a must eat!

2018 Rodeo Houston | Luke Bryan Concert | Priscilla & Mellie Dee

We ate some delicious rodeo foods and sat in the freezing cold to catch up about life before the concert. He’s always been on my list of people to see and I’m glad I can check it off my list. He forgot lyrics to “Crash My Party” and it was adorable.

Emmy 2nd Birthday

Emmy turned two years old on March 6th and we had her birthday party on the 2nd. Brudda went all out with the decorations and I assisted with the curtains which came out looking pretty great. She had a great time and was a trooper with all the pictures.

Emmy 2nd Birthday | Rizzo

Rizzo had a great time on Emmy’s new tricycle.

2018 Rodeo Houston | Old Dominion | John, Mallory, Trey & Mellie Dee

John had free tickets to see Old Dominon at the rodeo. He got to invite a friend, Trey, and Mallory got to invite a friend, me. It was freezing cold out and so after while we called it quits and went into the stadium.

2018 Rodeo Houston | Old Dominion | John, Mallory, Trey & Mellie Dee | Rodeo

We had amazing seats and I got to see all the features of all the animals which means I cried throughout the whole show because … poor animals.

2018 Rodeo Houston | Old Dominion | Mallory & Mellie Dee

Mallory and I don’t take many pictures together so, here’s one without the boys.

I was surprised how many songs I knew from them. I’m not sure what happened but he was in crutches so he was just sitting on the thrown the whole time.

2018 Rodeo Houston | Tim McGraw | Sissy, Julie & Mellie Dee

Sissy and Julie were going to buy tickets to see Tim McGraw and I slid myself in their plans because … why not?

2018 Rodeo Houston | Tim McGraw | Sissy & Mellie Dee

Also, I’m so glad I’ve gotten to wear my cowboy boots. Scruffy’s cousin was able to give us a discount and I always dreamed of wearing them to the rodeo and my wish came true.

2018 Rodeo Houston | Tim McGraw Concert | Sissy, Julie & Mellie Dee

Tim McGraw looks great for his age and it made my heart melt when he ran all around the stadium floor to give everyone high fives. Much love for him and it shows how much he truly loves his fans.

2018 Rodeo Houston | Tim McGraw Concert with Clay Walker | Sissy, Julie & Mellie Dee

He even had Clay Walker make a guest appearance on one of his songs which got the crowd going wild. He even played longer than his allotted one hour. So amazing.

Dinner and Movie at Priscilla

Priscilla was nice enough to invite me over to her house for dinner when I was having an emotional breakdown. She cooked some delicious fish and veggies while I got to play with her youngest who was in love with me. We watched Instant Family and I cried throughout the whole movie because some of it resonated with me.

2018 Rodeo Houston | Kane Brown | Mallory & Mellie Dee

Another Mallory and me picture. It seems we have to be doing some type of activity to get pictures together.

2018 Rodeo Houston | Kane Brown | Leah, Mallory & Mellie Dee | Rodeo

Leah drove down to go to the rodeo with us and introduced us to Cheetos Popcorn. I’ve seen it but never ventured to get it and my goodness. We couldn’t stop eating it. Someone, please tell me how we can make our own! Luckily, having the popcorn took my mind off of the rodeo because … poor animals.

2018 Rodeo Houston | Kane Brown Concert | Leah, Mallory & Mellie Dee

Kane Brown concert hit hard. I cried at almost all his songs because it reminded me of Scruffy. And when his wife jumped on stage to hug him and kiss him my heart hurt even more. They are so adorable together. So much love! Also, he was presented with a 4k Platinum plaque for his song, Heaven! Congratulations!

March 10, 2019

Juhi came back from London on Friday and wanted to go to the rodeo. She didn’t care for a concert and just wanted to have carnival foods and see mutton busting. Sadly, mutton busting didn’t happen. This was a spontaneous “yes” and I had a great time!

2018 Rodeo Houston | Erin, Juhi & Mellie Dee

John and Erin were available and we all walked around the whole entire place and ate so much food. I finally got to go to the Wine area! We got a bottle of wine and sat and talked life.

2018 Rodeo Houston | Juhi & Mellie Dee | Llamas

Juhi really wanted to play games and growing up, I’ve never really got to do that and win stuffed animals so I was down to do so. I’ve always wanted a date to the rodeo to do cutesy stuff like that. I understand I could just go and buy a stuffed animal but it’s not the same as winning one. I like to obtain memories more than anything.

I won a boy llama and she won a girl one. We were both TOO happy about it.

Luchi & Joey's | Houston, Texas | Juhi's Welcome Back

We had a welcome back lunch for Juhi at Luchi & Joey’s. It’s not the best but it wasn’t the worst. It was nice to catch up with old coworkers as well and now I’m invited to their crawfish boil next weekend. I’m excited!

The Boil House | Houston, Texas | Erin, Juhi, Chris

Speaking of crawfish, Erin, Juhi, Chris and I went to The Boil House for some delicious crawfish. This is cajun style and the flavour was on point but I still love my garlic butter crawfish. Will I come back? Yes, if I was in the area.

Switch Party with Erin, Juhi, Chris

We got alcohol and went back to Erin’s for a Nintendo Switch party. We played Smash and the verdict is that we are pretty horrible at it. We went on with Mario Party and I got first place! We also played a couple rounds of Overcooked and I feel like that’s when friendships end. haha

Life just hit all at once and my bottled up emotions all exploded everywhere. With it all, I still tried to live my best life and enjoyed the company I was surrounded by. Thankful for all of them.
