And yet a really good first line can do so much to establish that crucial sense of voice—it's the first thing that acquaints you, that makes you eager, that starts to enlist you for the long haul. So there's incredible power in it, when you say, come in here. You want to know about this. And someone begins to listen." – Stephen King
"So where do we go from here?"
she was the girl with the big heart
she was the girl who used her energy to make other people happy
she was the girl who couldn't bare not being able to share
she was the girl mistreated and abused
she was the girl who only got used
she was the girl who was constantly ripped apart
But she was the girl with the big heart
we grow up and realize that everyone is hiding
behind their words
behind their smiles
maturity does not come with growth, it's most times a function of perfecting that balance between struggles and life and learning to be yourself regardless of what life throws at you.
When things go wrong as they sometimes will
When the road your trudging seems all uphill
When the funds are low and the debts are high
And you want to smile but you have to sigh
When care is pressing you down a bit
Rest if you must but don't you quit
Success is failure turned inside out
The silver line of clouds of doubt
And you can never tell how close you are
It may be near when it seems afar
So stick to the fight when your hardest hit
It's when things go wrong that you mustn't quit
All she wanted was for someone to look at her and see the person that she hid so well.
All she wanted was the effort that she gave back
All she wanted was for her old self to come back
All she wanted was for someone to read her whole story from front to back
"So where do we go from here"
"My name is Arizona Leigh Robbins a 25 year old Musician, songwriter, and singer. I have loved music ever since i was a little kid. Country, Pop, Contemporary R , rhythm and blues, you name it. I just loved music period so that's what I grew up to do, it's always been my dream to be in front of hundreds maybe even thousands hell millions of people singing my little heart out." I swear thinking back to this i didn't think i would be this far
"When I had first touched a stage I just knew it was something that I just had to do."Just thinking about it puts a huge smile on my face
"And I did, I put my all into it and I had my heart set on it. I Attended Juilliard up in New York and graduated top of my class then went to Broadway, did that for a while until i got noticed by Artist Alliance Recording. My current manager is April Kepner, the best i could ever ask for." We have been through hell and back together since I've been with the team.
"So now April and I are getting ready to land in my Hometown for a couple of shows before my 5 month break, since tour doesn't start until after New Years which is 6 months from now. And that means i have 7 shows to do before before break" I swear they try to kill me every chance they get but i wouldn't change this for anything so i smile to myself
"Earth to Arizonaaaaa, Helloooooo anybody homeeeee? ARIZONA"
I jump so hard i hit my knee on the armrest "shit, April do you have to yell?"
"well you wasn't listening to me, i was trying to tell you that we're here. But you would have known that if you wasn't daydreaming AGAIN" April rolls her eyes
"im sorry it's just alot going on in my head right now you know that april"
"I know Arizona but what happened, happened 2 months ago. I'm not saying forget about it and act like it didn't happen because trust me you can't but you do have shows to tend too and i would like for you to be focused for it these are big since their yours last for a little minute"
I stay quiet for a while then sigh cause i know she's right "your right april, im sorry I'll try not to think about he- it"
"thank you beside i never liked her that shall not be named anyways, maybe we can have some fun since we back in your hometown?"
rolling my eyes "i don't know april, i don't think im going to be in the mood for that type of stuff right now"
April's gasp loud with her hand on her chest faking shocked "whattt Arizona "Flagstaff" Robbins not in the mood for that type of fun?, i have to say your a changed women" she says laughing "now come on we have to get off of here, beat the fan crowds and get to your moms house for a good nights rest for rehearsal in the morning and your show tomorrow night"
I stand up grabbing my bags, rolling my eyes and laughing "yeah yeah whatever let's just see how everything goes first?" I look over my shoulder at her
"yea sure come on"
Let's get this show on the road.
