...existence?

There comes a point when you are just tired of caring what people think about you. It is exhausting. When you feel drained and like nothing is going to pull you out of that hole what can you do? Spend quality time with friends who build up your Faith, not just your mood. And with Jesus. Harder to do than said. When you start digging into that relationship, things happen to try and push you away and not be close to Him. It's terrifying when you think about it.

----------------------------------

Reading - I'm sick of it. Never thought I'd say that. Maybe because my religious themes in modern literature class is a bunch of really depressing books.

----------------------------------

What is your refuge? When you are in pain, where do you go? When you are empty, what fills you up? Who fills you up?

Why are those questions so hard to answer?

----------------------------------

I wish I had the ability to not compare myself to other people.

----------------------------------

Faults are easy to find, do something difficult and look for good things about other people, AND yourself.

----------------------------------

The ocean waves lap up on the shore
It is nearly silent, nearly perfect
Laughter resonates over the water
Six friends dance breaking the stillness
It is well.
The winds begin to shriek
The waves crash
The skies darken
Still they dance, still they sing.

----------------------------------

Spring break is great, no matter how you're feeling :)
