friday

"sometimes i pray for a slap in the face, then i beg to be spared because i'm a coward."

thursday

here's to staying young. to growing up. here's to laughing so hard that there's no sound. to friends who have your back. to the partners in crime. to the ones who listen without judging. here's to brutal honesty. to simple truth. here's to far-fetched dreams. to potential reality. to chasing after both with no reservation. here's to change. to journeying. to adventures. here's to you, God. thanks for this crazy ride we call life.

monday

"knowing how to be solitary is the art of loving. when we can be alone, we can be with others without using them as means of escape."

monday

everyone started classes again today. makes me wish i was in school. how ironically awkweird is it that i'm jealous?

thursday

an honest heart poured out...

this just in, i’ve successfully failed at attempting to run my own life. stupidly assuming that i was close enough to GOD that i was immune to the world, i let my guard down and down i went. so here i sit, feeling completely embarrassed of my actions and reactions.
its weird how the domino effect is so easily applied to circumstances in life. one thing after another in a downward spiral. then, suddenly, it all comes to a screeching halt and i wonder how i got to this place. today is that day and, as i look back on the past month and all of its events, i cringe.
how did i become such a slave to emotion and feeling? when did i become so immature? why am i still clinging to broken things instead of CHRIST?
bright side: lessons learned the hard way are the most effective.

monday

let's be real here. i'm a very emotional and passionate person, but i've spent most of my life fighting against it. i guess i was always told it was a sign of weakness and, being the independent and stubborn soul that i am, i would have none of it. but now, as i'm starting to mature a little bit, i have no desire to hold back tears. i'm a cryer. go tears!


"that's why i take pleasure in my weaknesses, and in the insults, hardships, persecutions, and troubles that i suffer for Christ. for when I am weak, then I am strong."  - 2 corinthians 12:10

saturday

mondays, new years, and "tomorrow"s always seem to be popular "fresh start" points for the majority of people. considering this is the first day of a new year, my mind has been bent around this topic all day. personally, i love fresh starts. but i'm beginning to realize that i need a fresh start more often then on new years or new weeks or even new days. why can't i have a fresh start at 6:37pm? it may just be a tweak in a little area of life [like starting a new tube of toothpaste] or take form in some drastic measure. either way, why wait?
