I've just been sitting here reading the paper, it reminded me of what a mess the world is.
Reality check gang, the world doesn't revolve around us.

stumbling around at a disco
let me share this,
"I'd like to repeat the advice I gave you before, in that I think you really should make a radicaal change in your lifestyle and begin to boldly do things which you may previously never have thought of doing, or been to hesitant to attempt. So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a man's living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun." - Christopher McCandless from the book Into The Wild
this was a delightful little nugget to stumble across.
I've been incredibley blessed, and realized this even more today as I sat talking with a good friend over coffee. God is good. though I'm confused about much of the spiritual realm I find myself in, I can say that God is good, because he is. I've learned so much about being real over the past couple of months.
plus I've got a few awesome friends. a wonderful famiy. I'm truly blessed because the people in my life have been soooo patient with me recently. and honestly ... something is coming back to life inside of me. and it's wonderful.

it's all gonna change
yesterday i started realizing that i'm gonna be okay. i was starting to give up hope but as i look around myself i'm noticing that God's not gonna let me go ... whatever that means. it's okay that i question ... as long as i keep looking for answers. plus ... i don't need all the answers in order to discuss what i know deep in my soul to be true. it's good for me to realize this.
i received a voicemail from ashley saying, "listen to what's on the radio!" --- she knows me so well. lovin it.
work ... it's like the 11th day in a row or something.
