six months



six months.
15,638,400 seconds
260,640 minutes
4344 hours
181 days
25 weeks (rounded down)=
6 months
a lot can happen in that time frame.
i hope in six months i am continually growing in my relationship with God.
i really think i will be looking back on today and thanking God for the past six months,
the lessons, trials, tears, laughs, prayers, songs, and life i've experienced during this time.
i'm ready to live to the fullest.
God I'm ready.

and this picture is amazing.

shine



in days where the sun doesn't always shine brightly some situations can brighten your day.
the kind of things you wait all week to hear, maybe you lost sleep because of it.
maybe your appetite significantly decreased and you kept forgetting what was next, because in the back of your mind you were wondering about [that] maybe you cried, maybe you laughed at yourself thinking "there's no way" and then when it happens all the ways you pre-imagined yourself reacting fall away. and you are speechless. it takes time to sink in. maybe it hasn't fully felt real yet. maybe it won't for a while. but something in you picks up that fight. and you know deep down that things will get better. [and maybe they've only just begun.] and you weren't an idiot. all the times you felt that. it shows that you aren't now, and you have to accept that. maybe you didn't think this would happen. maybe you didn't think you would ever try. and now you have, and you didn't fail, if anything you're better off, way better off. and things are starting to look like they are making sense. maybe you've been so scared, of following your heart, because it's mislead you so many times. you didn't know if you could take anymore. what would it do to you? how would you cope? but somewhere there was a disconnect from those thoughts, and the real you shone through all the stuff that clouds your thoughts. maybe you have no idea what i'm talking about. maybe you do. but either way, don't give up. keep the fight in you. you're worth it. no matter what anyone else tries to tell you. no matter how many things disappoint you. the sun has to shine eventually. and when it doesn't, look for it shining in your life. it's all in the little things.

and this..

i love this

hurry up and get here



john mayer knows exactly how i feel.
this song is called "love song for no one"

Staying home alone on a Friday
Flat on the floor looking back
On old love
Or lack thereof
After all the crushes are faded
And all my wishful thinking was wrong
I'm jaded
I hate it

I'm tired of being alone
So hurry up and get here
So tired of being alone
So hurry up and get here
Get here

Searching all my days just to find you
I'm not sure who I'm looking for
I'll know it
When I see you
Until then, I'll hide in my bedroom
Staying up all night just to write
A love song for no one

I'm tired of being alone
So hurry up and get here
So tired of being alone
So hurry up and get here

I could have met you in a sandbox
I could have passed you on the sidewalk
Could I have missed my chance
And watched you walk away?
Oh no way

I could have met you in a sandbox
I could have passed you on the sidewalk
Could I have missed my chance
And watched you walk away?

I'm tired of being alone
So hurry up and get here
I'm so tired of being alone
So hurry up and get here oh yeah

I'm tired of being alone
So hurry up and get here
I'm so tired of being alone
So hurry up and get here

You'll be so good
You'll be so good for me

disconnect


i have to find a way, to stay here.
no matter what i do my heart just crosses the water.
i don't know if it belongs on the other side of the shore,
but my feet are still on this side.
how is there such a disconnect.
it makes me think about what the immigrants coming through ellis island must've felt.
they still hadn't arrived.
they would stare out this window and see more water that needed crossing.
how would they get there,
they longed to be free.
just like me.
