2015 was a year filled with a lot of growth and a heck of a lot of pruning. It was a year filled with so much joy and laughter, as well as so much pain and tears. 2015 was supposed to be my year. It didn’t start of that way. In March, when I began […]

December has been quite rough. It was honestly such a month of growth. I overcame several hurdles, which I am so grateful for. The Lord gave me the greatest amount of strength. I honestly couldn’t have gotten over those hurdles if I had’t let Him take care of it. I have seen such transformation within […]

Recently, I have lost in love, but I have also gained in love. See, I lost an Earthly love of mine, yet I gained a Heavenly love of mine. This Earthly love was lost for reasons I feel were beyond my control. It hurt a lot to hear it had to end. It hurt a […]

Since August, I have been seeing a psychiatrist. I don’t understand entirely why saying I see one has such a negative connotation to it. An old friend did not support me seeing one. I was seeing one for extra guidance. Things have been so rough for the past year. I wanted professional help, but I […]

This month has most definitely not been easy, but I wouldn’t trade it for anything. I have grown so much through this harsh autumn. Winter is just around the corner. Snow will fall. I will be covered in white. Made pure. I have learned so much from the pain my difficulties brought. I have learned […]

Dearest Lil Bud, It is your fifteenth birthday and I am so amazed by the beautiful young lady you have become. I have seen you grow so much in the last two years as you transitioned from a child to a teenager. You have even grown quite a lot these last few months. I am so […]

It is Thanksgiving; I think it’s funny how we make such a big deal out of one day. We shouldn’t just give thanks today, but every day. There is so much to be thankful for every single day of our lives. This isn’t is a rant about people being ungrateful 364 days of the year, […]

As I struggle to press on through this never-ending November, I find little things to boost my low spirits. I found this wonderful “pep talk” by @calmdownmorrissey . “This part of the semester can be extra stressful with exams, end of the semester projects, etc. Don’t give up. There will always be excuses, fears, and insecurities […]

I was never afraid of death until very recently. See, I used to believe I could live forever. That’s no longer the case. I now realize I am capable of dying at any moment. I am completely mortal. My life can be robbed at any time. I could breathe my last breath at any moment. […]

For the past few months I haven’t been able to sleep the full nine hours I should be. I don’t even take naps. I’ll sleep for about two hours and then wake up so suddenly. I believe I wake up in haste for a reason. I truly believe something is connected to my heart. Whenever […]
