lately winter's taking over summer's heat.

"but even when it rains the sun is still ablaze"

relationships.

I won't give up..

I won't give up on us

even if the skies get rough.

And when you're needing your space

to do some navigating

I'll be here patiently waiting

to see what you find.

Cause even the stars, they burn

some even fall to the earth

we've got a lot to learn

God knows we're worth it

no, I won't give up.

I don't wanna be someone who walks away so easily

I'm here to stay and make the difference that I can make

our differences they do a lot to teach us how to use

the tools and gifts we got yeah, we got a lot at stake

and in the end, you're still my friend at least we did intend

for us to work, we didn't break, we didn't burn,

we had to learn how to bend without the world caving in

I had to learn what I've got, and what I'm not

and who I am.



adulthood.

"Together we can make adulthood a destionation, not a curse." -Jonnie Penn

when I turned 22...

I got a wonderful package from my lovely family.

I wore a hand-made birthday crown from my third graders. all day.

I got a polar bear holding an Arizona flag (also from my third graders)

they know me too well..

I was taken on a date by an adorable boy.

I got to see what Chicago looks like from 95 floors up.

And I got to feel young at a fancy restaurant.

I also got sunflowers a few days ago and they were still absolutely beautiful.

I am very blessed.

peace & love.

"Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord." Hebrews 12:14

I have found it really hard to please others and be at peace with myself lately.
 Can't we all just love each other?

praying for peace and love.
