IS THIS REAL LIFE?
I HAVE A LEGITIMATE CRUSH. It feels so nice. It feels like elementary school. And I’m creepy again.
It's O.K.
I think I’m coming to the terms with the fact that I just don’t know how this personal journey is going to end. I want and pray for certain outcomes, but something tells me it’s not going to be so. Then I pray for other outcomes, but perhaps it’s not supposed to be that either. So the outcome ahead of me might be much more ahead of me than I think. And it might just be...
My Rantings and the Weight of the World
The beautiful and colorful sky gently rests across a vast sandy desert. The scenery is distorted, however, by the hustle and bustle of business, kids yelling in another language, and the occasional IED explosion. It’s not at all easy to remember that you’re on God’s creation when God’s creation is trying to end you. Not only the sweltering heat, but other human beings are...

Putting Eggs in Baskets Takes Faith
I feel something today. The first taste of patience, or perhaps the eagerness of an approaching miracle. Whatever it may be, my bones feel brewing in the stars. The plan that God has for me is being written out loud, and it’s something good; something I’ve always wanted. Maybe it won’t happen today or tomorrow, but the beginning is soon. Though I’ve never lost hope, I do...
Pray, Eat, and Pray, Right?
Instead of writing all my thoughts, I’ll just pray. God knows how I feel and what I think. God knows you’re always on my mind. God knows I still care. God knows I miss you so much. God knows what you did, what you’re doing, and how much it hurts me. God knows the struggle I face when I pick up the phone or when I hear a certain song. God knows I ask again and again for the same...

A Haulted and Ever-Moving-Forward Work in Progress
I cannot commit to anyone else so long as I cannot commit to one part of me. I’m still torn and broken, I’m still figuring out which side to take and what parts to keep. The thought of having comfort, affection, a shoulder, and protection are all so alluring. But what holds me back is the thought of having to tell those in pursuit of some part of me, genuine or not, how absolutely...

New Years?
If I could rid the world of loneliness, I would. I would like to always practice and inspire honesty, integrity, loyalty, and love in every way. I want to rid myself and the world of heartache, pain, and hatred.
