New Year
New Year’s Day is a great metaphor for a clean slate. But that’s all it is. Changing the date on a calendar doesn’t change your circumstances in life. I know that when I wake up tomorrow I won’t be cured, but I have faith that my victory lies somewhere within 2012. And for that, I’m thankful for a new year.

Doris
There’s a sweet older woman at work who lost her husband 10 years ago. She still wears her wedding ring.
I want a girl like that.

My heart knows me well
My heart knows me well.
It’s my mind that I can’t trust.
The slips and glitches that it thinks, won’t alter my steady heartbeats.
I know my heart well, it’s the purest of the two.
I know my heart well, it’s in charge of the two.
i’m just now beginning to see how much of a bullet i dodged. i just wish i would have dodged all of it.

Autobiographical
These thoughts are not me.
I am not defeated.
I was born to face giants, born to walk among lions.
I am more than a conqueror.
I was called to move mountains, to carry torches and burn out dry lands.
I was called to part oceans, not drown in them.
I’m a city on a hill, the only glowing window in a darkened skyline.
I am a child of God, and I am not defeated.
“How shall I pray?
Are tears prayers, Lord?
Are screams prayers, or groans, or...”

It's a feeling worth fighting for
I love moments where I’m in my right mind these days. I’ll tell you one thing, I won’t take it for granted anymore…not after this.
it’s a good feeling.
It’s me. It’s who I used to be.
A hopeful child, not some hopeless wild vagrant from the street.
so, “swing low, sweet chariot…”
Normalcy
Me before you is what I miss the most
