Spiraling Upward




There's a reason you came into my life so randomly. One of the first things you said to me was, "Oh btw, you're really pretty. I just wish that I would have told you that when I lived there". And, when we departed from that late night aim conversation, you asked me to keep talking to you, because you wanted to talk to me. That's where it all began. I had no clue that you would be this important to me. When I was in ninth grade, and people told me how you thought I was so pretty, (which I see as something important because I didn't know how to dress then and you thought i was so cute) I thought to myself, "maybe I should try and date him". Then they told me you were moving, so I was just like oh never mind. Look at me now. You've changed my life drastically and helped me become comfortable with who I am. I really had no clue what I was getting myself into that day you asked me to be yours. But, I'm thankful for every second I have spent beside you. Good or bad. Everyone thinks I am being so idiotic to date you once again, but like you said, it hurts us both too much to let us date other people. We came together for a reason, and it wasn't for it to just end. I always always saw something wonderful about you. No matter what we put each other through, we can't give each other up. We've been on the emotional rollercoaster and have had some pretty crazy nights. I love you, and thank you for loving me.

Fear

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." -Coach Carter

We had to cut them off


I love the random thoughts about life that I have on my way to class. I feel so sophisticated, haha. Today, I wrote this paragraph in spanish, which I normally suck at. My Spanish teacher read it and said "you write really well, you should not have the grade that you have in here." I have a 92. Haha, it made me feel really good. I love it when you have those random moments, where something that you didn't mean to happen, or didn't expect, that make you bust out laughing. That happened at Younglife tonight. Casey was getting mad that we were being so loud, and was talking to us and it was all quiet, and then my phone just so loudly goes off. Me and Ashley busted out laughing. I got to meet up with my friend Zac after Younglife and talk. We talked about everything going on in our lives, it was pretty nice. It's so crazy what the day will bring.
