Recently I have been troubled with a lot of anxiety. Anxiety over the future, anxiety over my present circumstances, anxiety about the people around me, anxiety about who I am as an individual, and anxiety that simply comes from being overwhelmed. This anxiety has been very overbearing recently and causing me to ask a lot of questions. Whether I am asking if people truly love me, or asking if...

“Mam, with all do respect. Keep walking.”
There is dust clogging up their souls and
Not because they have inhaled the earth,
No.
They were dirty once.
Dirty still.
They see the particles flying through space
Illuminating light caresses their curves.
They see, Yes.
They have engulfed the earth.
Dust chokes their lungs.
But their souls cannot cough up its
Muddled fillings.
But sir,
If you...

Early Memory by January Gill o'neal
I remember picking up a fistful
of sand, smooth crystals, like hourglass sand
and throwing it into the eyes of a boy. Johnny
or Danny or Kevin—he was not important.
I was five and I knew he would cry.
I remember everything about it—
the sandbox in the corner of the room
at Cinderella Day Care; Ms. Lee,
who ran over after the boy wailed for his mother,
her stern look as the words No snack...
"If" by Rudyard Kipling
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or, being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;
If you can dream--and not make...

Finally got a day to stay home to try to get rid of this sinus infection :[. Fortunately I took advantage of my time at home by completing many assignments for school that aren’t due till way later.
I feel pretty stress free right now and I’m loving it.
Also my awesome boyfriend, Trevor, is coming to bring me soup and cheer me up.
This bad day has turned out pretty good after...
“My sin yelled crucify louder than the crowd that day”
First day of school tomorrow. Summer has been wonderful, and most of all, God has blessed me once again with another year to be alive. I know school can get frustrating but I have been given so much by God and often times I ignore that. Instead of going into this year with anger and defiance, I am going to take this year on with a smile on my face and with God’s help, a selfless heart. I...
Always LOVE, hate will get you every time.
