In my new direction

So I flew across the country just to find your broken word
Excuse me while I let your secrets out
Does it comfort you to think about how wonderful this was up until now?

So I guess I'll just get going, I've got better topics now
And I'm off to find some blank pages to write all of them down
Because these ones have been dirtied with the mentioning of you
You're the talk of the town now
And everybody's found it out

So I guess I'll cut my losses cause I lost a lot
I guess I'll quit complaining and I'll starting walking it off
Because there is no point in living in a past with that unhappiness
Consider it a promise we both broke
Consider it mistakes on both our parts

Cause this is closure once and for all
Oh, this has to stop right now
Cause I've been running for my life
And you could never catch me now

Atlantic.

I've made it.
I made it faster and stronger than I thought I could ever do.

I've swam through the rip tide, through the storm, through the sharks, through all of the danger and have now made it to safety. Life does go on and better than ever.

Just as the book of James talks about, you go through trials for a reason, to persevere and come out a stronger, better person. All you can do is be positive, be happy and realize that no matter what happens, life goes on.

Happiness is inevitable.

I am happy. I am more than content.
Things are so good and they'll continue to be that way.
I love God, I love you, and I love life.

Oh so casually

Happiness is inevitable.

Ain't that the truth? :)


Forreal.
Positive attitude, caring about the right things, loving everyone and everything.
Everything will work out in the end.
Everything is working out.

It's all perspective.

And from my view, happiness truly is inevitable.

It's all about love.

Happiness is key. Love wins. Words have an effect, but actions speak louder than words.
And I want my actions to be shouting sheer joy :)

Simba

I have too much pride.
And it is definitely unnecessary pride.
Pride that makes no sense.

I care too much about things that don't matter enough to worry about.

I strive to live up to ridiculous expectations, but in reality, that's not me.
It's a struggle. I am not perfect and I need to stop trying to be.
I also need to stop trying to impress you.
It's annoying, not impressive.

I over analyze way more than ever needed.
I stress out and worry about things that mean practically nothing.

I don't really understand why.
All I know is that I dislike it and I have decided to break this wall down.
I am going back to who I was.
Carefree, happy, joyous, curious, and in awe of the world.

I've missed it.
Terribly.

Blessed

My life is wonderful, I am seriously so grateful for all that I have--the people, the love--it's all so amazing. I am thankful and I know that I was placed in this life for a reason. Some people have gifts that involve teaching others-like my dad, others-like myself-are moreso to just help out by loving others and showing compassion. And then there are the musical people that can lead worship in different ways to attract different people. It truly is something that puts me in awe to think about. We all fit together doing our own parts in this world, everything is just this huge puzzle, and if each piece was the same, the puzzle wouldn't go together, but since we're all so different, so unique, the puzzle creates this huge, beautiful masterpiece. I know I keep saying it's amazing, but I'm not sure how else to describe it.
Sometimes, living out your purpose is difficult to do, though. I know that I have definitely struggled with loving others. I feel like it was the way I had to learn it, too. I used to think loving people would be a breeze, but then God put me in situations that proved me wrong. I mean, I knew that there'd be hard times and people that would give me a hard time to try to love, but man, I never knew there'd be near impossible times and people that would completely test and push my limits of loving them. It really was an eye opening experience and it's just more proof that I'm still learning and growing and I have so much more left to learn about love. Love is unconditional and I strive to show that sort of love as God does, but I am merely human and well, loving people is probably one of the hardest things I do. Thankfully, I don't have to just love them out of my self, God loves them through me, so it makes it easier. God shines his light on me and I am able to reflect it to others and that's the main focus. I just have to make sure others can see Christ in me because his love surpasses all other love.
And because we live in this puzzle, I am thankful for everyone else and their gifts and all that they bring to the table. For those that play music-thankyou, and please, pursue that with all of your heart, soul, and mind. You were blessed with that talent, use it for what it's meant for. To those of you that teach-inform others of all that you can, be open to helping those out that are confused or don't understand, you're able to ensure that they understand things even just a little bit better. This list could go on and on, I just want everyone to know that what they do, the gifts that they have, they're important and that we should use everything in our power to live out the life God intended us to.

My purpose in this life is to love others. Being loved in return would be nice, but never necessarily necessary. I want to be that person that others can rely on, the one that you can go to when times get rough, the person you can trust. That is my sole desire. Other than living for God, I'm not sure there is anything else that makes me happier than to see other's be happy and simply enjoying life. I am excited to start school back up in the fall and finish earning my degree in Sociology. I will also be studying Social Work and Religion and I am so anxious to learn all that I can. After I graduate, I'll be able to put my degree to use and even moreso of my love. I'll be able to counsel others, help people that are in difficult situations, and let them know that they can make it out, happiness is inevitable. It really and truly is.
