Find beauty in the sadness, in the madness, in the normalcy of every day.


I feel like I've been having too much time to think.

I won't pretend that my pain is greater than everyone else's, but I also won't pretend that I'm not hurting at all.

People might say I'm silly. Naive. Impractical. Believe me, there are so many nights spent begging for answers and wondering where this seemingly sunken lane is taking me. I've spent many nights crying out to God to take me out of this emptiness.

Being here doesn't mean I want to be here.

Can't you see? I am not in control. He is. As much as I want to drive away and never look back, that's not mine to decide. I don't even know how to drive. If I try and take the wheel, a crash will be inevitable.

Can't you see? In a snap of a finger, God can change everything. He can flood deserts and dry out oceans. He can move mountains. What makes you think He can't change our lives in a millisecond if He wants to?

Can't you see?

Be kind.


It doesn't often occur to us how little acts of kindness can make a difference.

I pray that somehow, in some ways, I was able to inspire someone to be kinder to others.
