no one tells you how weird and awkward and hard it can be to make friends as an adult. that’s probably why so many of us keep friends from childhood, high school and college so close. we don’t like having to explain who we are to someone new, we’d rather feel comfortable with those who know us well and have already proven they’ve accepted us … Continue reading making friends
i understand the irony of this post. i know that the fairytale ending that so many movies (and Taylor Swift songs) have is not reality – that’s just the rule, not the exception. and yet i love Swift’s song lyrics simply because she is a lyrical genius when it comes to expressing the female emotions of love and heartbreak. some of my faves? sparks fly … Continue reading that only happens in movies… and Taylor Swift songs
so i noticed in my tag cloud that my Taylor Swift tag is smaller than the relationship tag. so of course i had to say SOMETHING about T-sweezy. especially since her Speak Now album came out recently. i do love her music. but recently i notice that if i listen to it TOO much i drift from my already semi-idealistic view on life into a … Continue reading lunch break!
one of my favorite entertainers, Taylor Swfit, premiered her “Mine” video a few days ago. i loved it. i am such a sucker for those kinds of videos. but anyway, i always love her lyrics because i know exactly what she’s talkin about. so she has a great line: but we’ve got bills to pay we’ve got nothin figured out when it was hard to … Continue reading we’ve got nothin figured out
ex·trav·a·gant: exceeding the limits of reason or necessity, lacking in moderation, balance, and restraint, extremely or excessively elaborate, spending much more than necessary; profuse, lavish the challenge i love people. i really do. i’m an extrovert by nature and an introvert only when necessary (which usually happens when all my introverted friends are like, GIRL take a break!). so recently i’ve been challenged by 1 Cor. 13:13 – … Continue reading love extravagantly
the hymn “be thou my vision” is one so familiar to me for many reasons. First, we sang it so many times in Cru that i’m pretty sure i have it memorized. and second, it’s a beautiful song. i was at a friend’s wedding today and one of the hymns the couple chose was Be Thou My Vision. what i loved was that they included … Continue reading be thou my vision
what happened to miss independent? my tendency… is to be independent. in general. my sister is probably laughing right now… but it’s true. ever since i can remember, i hated asking for help from someone to do something i thought i could do on my own. homework assignments, manual labor, etc… even this past summer when i was internship hunting, i refused to use a … Continue reading i.n.d.e.p.e.n.d.e.n.t.
…sometimes our expectations sell us short. Sometimes the expected simply pales in comparison to the unexpected. You got to wonder why we cling to our expectations, because the expected is just what keeps us steady. Standing. Still. The expected’s just the beginning. The unexpected is what changes our lives. life unexpected. i love this quote from Gray’s Anatomy. i generally don’t watch that show (okay, … Continue reading unexpected
these past few days i have been writing up posts that have been very emotionally driven. i realize that i may have sounded like i am drowning and can’t get to the surface… it’s really not that bad 🙂 i’ve been dealing with life coming to a culmination of stuff, all building to this point. so things that happen in my life are magnified and … Continue reading risk assessment.
i took a chance i took a shot you might think i’m bulletproof but i’m not one of the reasons i started this blog was so that i could openly and honestly share with anyone who cares what i’m going through in life. that, and i am a firm believer in looking before you fall. so even though the fall will happen, at least you … Continue reading not bulletproof
