Wear Love.
"Come to Me all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens and I will give you rest." Matthew 11:28.
Above the influence.
My bestfriend freshman year burned a hole through his esophagus from smoking too much, and his respiratory system almost failed him. I made a promise to him that I would never put myself in that sort of position, ever.
A friend of mine, in Georgia, who liked me freshman year, and came to be a very important person in my life, went to a party one night. He drove under the influence, with his friend in the car, that night. He got in a terrible accident, and ended up in jail, then rehab. He is finally home, in college, and a recovered alcoholic.
A young man, who was incredibly kind to me when I moved here, lived above the influence until this past year. He has as been through so much in his life.. Through more than is beyond anyone’s wildest imagination. This young man got arrested and put in jail today for ‘intention to distribute’.
Every day I think of my promise to my old bestfriend, and it’s days like these that I realize why I continue to live above the influence of marijuana.
My thoughts are and prayers are with you Lucas. I hope life hands you a second chance, and that you use it wisely.
Sometimes I want to tell someone everything that goes through my head, but then I remember it would be a waste of their time.
As tough and as strong as I may come across, all I want more than anything is to mean something. To be someones everything. To be backed up, and have someone by my side in every battle. I put up that front so I’m not so hurt when no one ever does. For 18 years I’ve come in second, third, fourth, seventy-fifth, you name it. I just want to matter. That’s all. Is that too much to ask? Because if it is, please tell me. I want to know I’m wrong if I am.
The attention I get in my house has to be like -837930. I just give up. I’m going to have a fucking awesome life. I’m going to make a name for myself, and it’s going to all because of ME. No one else. Just me.
I don’t understand why people that talk down on Christianity celebrate Easter and Christmas. Christmas is when Jesus was born, and Easter is when Jesus rose again. If you don’t believe in those things, and even take poorly about it, why would you ever celebrate holidays that surround that very thing.
Actions speak louder than words. You may say that you love Jesus and you should love like Jesus, but your actions are anything but Jesuslike, so cut the crap.
