I'm Shelagh and I'm sixteen. Really active, not the most outgoing person in the world, but once you get to know me I think I'm a pretty good friend. Loyalty and trust are of huge value to me, and I hold major grudges.

You'll never know how much somebody cares until you need them more than ever.
No man is worth your tears and the one who is would never make you cry.
If feeling this way is what makes me miserable, then I want it to be agony every time I think about you.

I can't help but pretend. I fake my way through life so I'll never be hurt. My greatest fear is having my heart torn out by the person I love.

You think you know who I am
And feel you can judge me
But you don't see how much it hurts
Because I swore to myself
I would never let you see me cry

Guys that smell good.....*melt*

Trust is the hardest thing to gain, the easiest to lose, and almost impossible to get back.

If you think that what you say doesn't matter, then you're wrong. It may not matter to the world, but somebody is listening. All it takes is a voice. Just one voice. Make it yours. Be heard. Raise your voice, shout, scream, break something. Make sure the universe knows you're there.

To the world you may be just one person but to one person you could be the world.

Smile at strangers. They may need that smile. It could save a life.

Have you ever felt like there's only one person holding you grounded, and if they ever left you you'd lose control and just fly away and disappear? What if they left you? What would you do? Can you imagine life without them? Hold on to the people you love, and never let them out of your heart, soul, and mind.

I am a dancer, a rider, and a climber. I feel that the only things I need to get by are my friends and family. Having someone to spoil and someone to spoil you; someone to let you know they care, and to keep you safe at night when the world seems like it's going to end is the most amazing thing ever.
I love movies, mostly action but there's nothing wrong with crying once in a while. Laughter is okay too. Music is the soul of life, and I listen to almost all of it (anything but country).
Reading is always good, as long as the book is worthwhile...If you can't picture it and pretend you're there watching it happen, then it's just a waste of time.
I don't really care what people think or say about me. What's the point? It shouldn't matter to anyone what people think about them, because their opinions only matter to themselves. Everybody fakes a part of their life. Most people fake not caring, but they should have to pretend to care. Nobody who is going to waste your time or make you cry is worth caring about. I'm not emotionally closed off, just guarded. Heavily guarded.

I guess that's about it. You want to know anything else then you should ask me.

Dancing- Highland, ballet, and step.
Climbing- Yeah, definitely need to get out there more often, climbing boys have got it.
Riding- I love my ponies. My saddle is the most comfortable thing in creation.
Reading- curled up in front of the fire on a cold winter night, with a mug of hot chocolate, and a really good book. There's just about no place else I'd rather be sometimes. It's wonderful and nothing beats it.
Movies- What's not to love about the movies? People pretending to be other people...it's like, everyday life! Only on a screen with acceptable cheesy moments. They're wonderful, because believe it or not, they make you think about yourself and life. That is, if it's the right kind of movie.
Laying on my bed staring at nothing in particular and thinking about nothing in particular is amazingly wonderful. You just kind of sink into this fantasy realm where nothing matters, and you don't have to move, or deal with people who annoy you and try to hurt you. You don't sit and wish you were anywhere else, doing anything else. You're just, right there, in the moment, with yourself. You're just you, and you're free to be you. There's no judgement, no mistakes...just you. Besides, how can you fall if you're laying down?
Hanging out with my friends is the greatest time I can spend outside of the dance world. They can make me forget how miserable I am at school and how much I wish people would leave me the fuck alone. I have friends at school, but I feel like, if I show my heart to them I may never get it back from the people that sneak a glance. I care so much that I don't care anymore. And not caring is detrimental, scary, and lonely.
Matt, Neal, Chris, Lary, Eric, Michelle, Tory, and anybody else I missed- I love you guys! You make me me and you keep me sane! Kisses!!!

Girls who feel they need to be slutty to be liked.
People who think that dancers are whores.
Wasting people's time and people who waste my time.
Being told I'm not good enough.
Not being able to be myself around people.
Feeling like the one person that matters the most right now will never know how I feel...and if he finds out that he'll laugh at me.
Peppers and all manner of spicy food.
