Once

Once there was a girl who was tired of school. She was tired of feeling frustrated, especially with classes and especially with people. And she had zero motivation to do anything besides be an adventurer.

She had thoughts in her head that she wanted to say to people, that she probably never would, and it's fine because some of them should definitely stay in her head.. And places that she wanted to see with her very own eyes, that she might not ever see. But her backyard is pretty beautiful and she could appreciate that too!
Regardless of all of that. Regardless of the fact that sometimes she was lonely and sometimes she was filled with pure joy. Regardless of the fact that she was tired of being on the team, or not knowing some of the answers, or stressing over things that don't matter. Regardless of all of that, and so much more, she couldn't help but hope that some day she would make a difference. Someday she will change lives. Someday she will create something beautiful and someday she will bring peace and love and happiness to those around her.
Once there was a girl who, despite the world around her, held on to faith, held on to hope.
And her heart was full, and her mind was constantly running circles around everything.
And no matter how hard she tried, that mind could not slow down enough to allow her to do any else besides lay in her  bed and ponder on everything around her.

I Know I Have Dreams

It's been a while since I have written anything on here. And I know it's been a while. I know that the last few weeks have been crazy, and that that is part of it. But I also know that I have sat down to write here more times than I would care to admit. I know that I have a million thoughts running around in my head. I know that I want to figure out how to let the words out and have them make sense. I know I have all these ideas about what I want to do with my life, what I want to accomplish, and who I want to become, and yet I lack the knowledge of how to get there. I know I have dreams. I know I want to be somebody that people can look up too someday. I know what I love. I know I have to make choices. I know that I ramble. A lot. I know a lot of things. Maybe I will talk about everything. Maybe I will save a post or two for another day. I know that this post is going to be long.  I know that this post may be very varied when it comes to topics. I know that n...

How True This Is

I Resolve To Continue

This is the time of year when we evaluate our lives. We look at the last 364 days and ponder on our struggles and our triumphs. We look at the person we have become over the last 12 months and we plan to do better in the coming 12. This is the time of year we are dedicated to making a change, and as I sit here thinking back to this time exactly 365 days ago, I am astounded at how far I have come. Almost ashamed of the person I was then and truly proud of the person I am now. For one of the first times in my life I can say that I can see myself becoming the person I want to become. In the last year I have felt sorrow and defeat and loneliness. I have faced struggles and heartache and frustrations. But I have also felt peace. I have felt joy and happiness and love. I set goals and I achieved them. I have had experiences that have taught me so many valuable lessons, and I have met people who have changed me forever. And I am so grateful. And so as we finish out this awfully beautiful year...
