on the 31st day of January in the year of 2011
I woke up to three alarms. 7:00, 7:03, and 7:07. I oversleep too often and have an uncanny aversion to even numbers. I slowly slid from my bed in what I deemed a graceful manner, however, from an outside view I’m sure was rather artless. I pulled on a cozy red sweater that I’ve had since 9th grade. Sometimes I just cannot let go. I shuffled down the stairs to make coffee. As the water...
This was one of my absolute most favorite songs...
can i reblog myself?
because I am.
It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for, And if you dare to dream of meeting Your heart’s longing. It doesn’t interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool For love, for your dreams, For the adventure of being alive

day 4
Today I’ve felt extremely fond of my boyfriend. I, of course, always am fond of him but today I just want to dwell on how special he is to me and how wonderful our time together has been. I’ve done the cheesy girl thing in which I keep all of our ticket stubs, letters, pictures, etc in a little box. I decided to look through it today. He’s written so many sweet letters to me over...
a reminder,
“In the discouraging darkness of my own imperfection, I have a perfect righteousness outside of myself. Christ.
It is not a good frame of heart that makes our righteousness better, nor a bad frame that makes it worse. For out righteousness is Jesus Christ.
Cease from all efforts to look inside yourself for the rescue you need. Cast yourself on Him. “
(The same yesterday, today, and...
Don’t worry body. I’ll just sleep tomorrow night instead. I have to wake up in four hours. I’m not sure that I’ll be ready for that. Life goes on.
Isn’t it funny that I was able to sleep when I had nothing to do and nowhere to be the next day. It only makes complete sense.
I’m home, sweet home. Now, for an early bed time.
Sometimes it’s the little things.

I am awake entirely too late.
I had a lovely night with friends.
Karla, I met your brother tonight.
Tomorrow, Austin and I are going to Atlanta for a day of shopping, a lovely dinner, to see a play, and a night of dancing. He’s one of the greatest things to ever happen to me. It’s beautiful when a person knows you so well that he knows exactly what will make your birthday special....
Why are we afraid to be who we really are? Or to be a bit more honest, why am I afraid to be who I really am? I somehow got lost in pleasing you all. Gaining your approval.
No thank you,
you may have it back.
Lately I’ve realized I often find myself doing mindless things in order to avoid seeing what’s truly in my mind.

Some days just need to end.
I’m in desperate need of morning and a fresh start.

an old thought,
“Sometimes I really begin to realize that the world is incredibly beautiful yet undeniably unavoidably broken at the same time and I want to cry because my mind cannot even begin to fathom how that can be so.”
I’m reading through one of my old journals and I saw this. I think I posted it before. But I still feel this as much as I did the day I wrote it the first time.
don’t worry,
i just happen to know that every day for the rest of my life will be better than the day before it.
sleep well.
This is the third night in a row that I’ve been unable to fall asleep. I’m absolutely exhausted. I’m in bed. The lights are off. I’ve had no caffeine. Yet, here I am. A body pleading for rest and a mind denying its wish.

I’m typically against New Years resolutions for myself. However, I really like this one. It’s happening, starting now. (By getting off the internet.)
joobtheory:
I have no need for new year’s resolutions. I attained intellectual/physical/financial/moral perfection during the summer after 3rd grade.
this is awesome.
It’s 3:04am and I cannot sleep. I just had the best New Years Eve of my life. To be honest, I missed being with my friends in Charleston. But tonight ended up better than I imagined it could be. I got to watch my talented boy friend dj the party from a towering dj booth. I got to dance with a few of my closest friends and so many new or semi new faces. And by dance I mean completely lose our...
