captivate
i’m so messy and distracted, undisciplined and tactless, here on the inside. i thought age would tell the secrets, but the secrets are still secrets. the years are passing by …  my soul’s screaming out to be found in you <3

steinbeck

it’s been 235 years since the inception of this nation, and while it definitely stirred up feelings of reverence for this country… i can’t help but feel damn ashamed! the hypocrisy of this country sort of shocks me. a land that’s supposed to embody justice, equality, and freedom is well…not representative of those qualities at all… and i don’t want to get...

thoughts on a friday afternoon in april 2011
i love growing up just as much as i hate permanently separating further away from my childhood. with age comes deeper wisdom.. a clearer sense of morality.. and a stronger understanding of yourself… but those gains are also accompanied by greater responsibilities and expectations. more accountability, stronger convictions to reciprocate another’s act of goodwill, tougher choices. not...

we’d be so unified, so joyful and at peace if we ALL lived to make others happy instead of trying to make ourselves happy. what a shame it is that we choose to exist THIS way when our lives could be infinitely better. and how amazing would our relationships be if we could ALL be 100% vulnerable and transparent with one another without having to feel embarrassed or ashamed about our...

to mother
During Women’s Group on Sunday, this excerpt from Captivating by Stasi Eldredge really stuck out to me: “All women are not mothers, but all women are called to mother. To mother is to nurture, to train, to educate, to rear. As daughters of Eve, all women are uniquely gifted to help others in their lives become more of who they truly are—to encourage, nurture, and mother them...

these days i lie down.. i sit.. i walk.. i jog.. i shop.. i drive.. i read & i eat while i ponder about the recent freedom that has been bestowed upon me. i’ve been living my whole life for this very moment. liberation from the societal norms of achieving outstanding grades for success.. higher education.. freedom from restless assessments. just, freedom… but freedom doesn’t...

so i’m sitting in class right now and feel sort of disillusioned by the “mechanics” behind the education sector. i think it’s cause i’m bored and haven’t been paying attention to a single thing that the professor has been saying for the past few weeks. but either way… i’m in this elementary reading assessment class and each class, we learn ways to...

pensive, encouraged
i am going to ramble.. about nothing! let’s see where this free flow of writing takes me… since i was a little girl, i wanted to become a writer. i think the conviction came to me in the fifth grade when my teacher said i was a good writer. of course when you hear that you’re talented at something you want to keep doing it & so i did… but not anymore.. i don’t...

i’m proud that i’ve started to take small steps to reignite my dimmed faith - actually opening up the bible & reading…. praying…. being more Christ-conscious in my daily life… forgoing some of my sinful desires… granted, they’re just baby steps & i haven’t been completely transformed but they have helped shift my perspective & attitude in...

my favorite superhero … probably batman cause i watched “the dark knight” and know at least a little about him. i don’t really know the persona behind any other superhero.. i only watched girly/violent-free shows while growing up & didn’t read comics.  the end.

rambling remedies- just a chain of thoughts, feelings, inspirations & convictions i get from day to day living. sometimes, i’m unable to fully fathom some of the things that cross my mind (especially when i’m on my study/job searching/social grind) so tumblr, or “rambling remedies” if you will-is an outlet for me to reflect and hold on to those musings.. usually leads...
