the heart of life is good
Not to rip off a John Mayer song, but this phrase has been repeating in my mind a lot lately. There have been times when I was so overwhelmed with stress that I lost sight of the hope that is ever present. No matter what, it seems the heart of life is good and that I always find my way back to the moments when I can say this with conviction.

betraying me
I believe in going after the things that send your heart racing, send the buzz to your head, the colour to your view. I believe in taking leaps of faith and trusting that whatever good thing you set your hand to will be blessed. I believe in taking risks and realizing that mistakes are redeemable.
This is my betrayal of me. I fear my love of art. Why am I afraid of this one passion? It’s...

– Van Gogh
sitting face to face
and i’m trying to construe the view
when you wear that gaze
with bedroom eyes and whirling minds
lips dripping with insight
still, I’m conversing with a blind
man
what do i do with a heart that feels...
and a head that could stop it but instead looks down with a sly grin. The mind’s will often betrays the heart’s, but what happens when the heart and the mind are on the same page and just aren’t telling each other?

my body's in the boons; my heart's in downtown
Walking the streets by my lonesome is good for my soul.

you are not your talents
You know those moments when you are so soaked in self doubt that all you want to do is whine about it to your girlfriend and have her assure you that everything’s going to be okay and that you’re really not all that awful of a human being? Those moments are really quite selfish, yet we all do it and perhaps we need to at times. I am guilty. Something that has always bothered me though...

hope is a thing with feathers
Hope is the thing with feathers That perches in the soul And sings the tune without the words And never stops at all And sweetest in the Gale is heard And sore must be the storm That could abash the little Bird That kept so many warm I’ve heard it in the chillest land And on the strangest Sea Yet, never, in Extremity, It asked a crumb of Me.

now we get to begin again, kids
Enjoying the fact of a new day. Walking away from what shadows lurk behind me, and into a new light. Today we begin again, and every day for that matter. One of the greatest gems of life.

be
Instead of worrying about what to do, be. Instead of seeking out, be the thing that you seek. You have a purpose and whatever you need to accomplish it is in your hands. If it’s not in you, you don’t need it.
ask.
eyesdiscerned:
do you ask enough questions?
dont settle for what you know.

you've an opportunity
Lately I’ve been realizing I’m better than I think…
Not in vanity, but in revelation of my worth as a person and the great mandate of my existence, which is something that is easy to forget when you’re down on yourself. I’m in a good season of growth, learning, and change right now. I’m experiencing new - and it’s so refreshing. But now that I’m in...

real
So I’m sitting in my room listening to The National and stuffing my face with nachos. Right now I’m unhappy, beyond the music and incense crawling around the air. And it must be valid since I’m nowhere near my period. (You’re welcome.)
I can make and fake happiness and get by, but… but.. fake and I never really got along. Why do we have to lie all the time in order...

I just want to be love. Embody it in everything I do, what I say, how I perceive. I want to walk around with it and make it known that its with me. And be a hippie about it, if that’s how it seems. I don’t care. So long as my love is open and free and accepting and non-judgmental. This is what I want. The day I let myself be loved by love himself is the day that I can love the way I...

Legacies
Today I got to escape campus to see all my family for G-pa’s 80th birthday. I realized how thankful I am for my family and the great roots of faith, love, compassion, and music that are a part of my heritage. I’m one lucky girl, no matter if money doesn’t grow on trees, or if there are times when we have our dysfunctions, or if we go our separate paths. The legacies that my...
