All right, I'm making a pact with myself. It's time for some changes. Here's what I've come up with:

1. No more complaining about things I can't change.
2. No more complaining about things I can change.
3. If I want something to change and I can change it then I need to suck it up and do it!

Yeah, that sounds about right.

Well its happened again...I'm home for a few days and everything is great, but then the inevitable depression sets in. I don't know why I feel like this when I'm here. I feel so lonely, so far from everyone. My life is in Clarion now and I just don't feel like I fit here. My house is so empty because everyone else has plans. All I do is work ( Read more... )

It is so nice to be back here with my own bed, good food and a washing machine that doesn't require quarters. I'm pretty much unpacked and my room is redecorated with pictures and mementos from the year. I'm driving my new car which is a blast and I have plans to meet up with some old friends. I was working on my tan today and started "The ( Read more... )

I'm free! It is such a great feeling when finals are over and I know my only responsibility in the next 4 months is a full time job that I can leave there at the end of the day. And it doesn't require extensive thinking or homework. Aw, bliss ( Read more... )

Well it's the end of the semester and the end of the year so I've been very retrospective lately. Doesn't help that one of my roommates likes to get all sappy and sentimental every night about the fact that we're moving out of the dorms. I never thought I would be sad about that but this place has been my home for 3 years. It's weird to think of ( Read more... )

It is so hard to see someone so close to you hurting. I feel so helpless. But I know that the power of prayer is beyond what we as humans can imagine. So I will continue to lift up my prayers and stand by him, offering a hand to hold and a shoulder to cry on. I'm here for you.

Many times I'm not content with my life in the present moment. I'm looking ahead to the future with my dreams and aspirations spinning through my head. I feel stagnant and stuck like I'm going no where. But then there are circumstances that wake me up and I realize that life is actually speeding by without me noticing. I talked to an old friend ( Read more... )

I'm truly at peace with myself for the first time in I don't know how long. The kind of peace that passes all understanding. Maybe its just the weather, but my life seems brighter lately. Or maybe its the fact that I finally let go of the baggage I was carrying around. Yeah, thats probably it. I have to laugh at myself because I always make ( Read more... )

I'm realizing more and more this year that I'm living for other people and not for God. I've become so paranoid and preoccupied with what everyone around me thinks of my life and my decisions. If I make a mistake, I feel eyes all around me, bearing into my soul. I feel like all of my sins are written on my face for everyone to see and I hang my ( Read more... )

Can I just say, April is gonna fly by. (although this snow makes it feel like January all over again...) I have so much stuff due and so many things planned that I'm gonna be done with this semester before I know it! I'm not really too excited about the summer. Working at Glendorn for 4 months is not the most thrilling gig. But it will help ( Read more... )
