“ Forgiveness is never easy. Bitterness is easy, hatred is easy, but forgiveness.. That’s a tough one. Sometimes people say things they don’t mean, or do things they can’t take back. Sometimes we do things we can’t take back. So we feed ourselves to starve the pain. Were all afraid of something. But in the face of great despair you have an epiphany. What you’ve done is who you are, but what you’ve done is not who you’ll be.

“ She’s such a force you forget she gets injured. You’ll see her stagger and realize she needs help long before she does. Your heart goes out to her. She doesn’t know how to feel her own pain, but she can feel yours.

— Sisterhood Everlasting, Anne Brashares

If someone asked me right now to describe happiness

I’d say,

good music, cherry limeades, and the love of a dog

Bob Seger’s voice over my car stereo, windows down, and my hair blowing perfectly in the wind

a hug from my mother and a joke from my father.

when you smile at me and don’t think I see it,

a runner’s high, horror movies,

the blades of grass withering under a summer breeze, and the beach at any time of day

the everlasting grace and peace of a redeeming Savior,

I’d tell them to look around - there are blessings everywhere - and happiness to be found

i’m so worried about you

I know that you’re fine now, and you’ve got a whole summer,

but you’re going to college in the fall and I’m so afraid you’re going to make terrible decisions and ruin all the good things you have going for you. You’re going to make so many of the wrong friends, and meet so many of the girls I don’t want you to. Sometimes i wish I could suspend time and stretch it out, so maybe you could stay like this a little while longer.

This is probably the end of you as I know you, and it’s got my emotions a little tangled. I really shouldn’t care about you like this - but we’re friends or something like that

things I never thought I’d think:

please don’t forget about me

today has been really really hard

but Praise God

storms are gonna come and go, but He’s not going anywhere

It’s time to let go of everything we used to know.
Ideas that strengthen who we’ve been.
It’s time to cut ties that won’t ever free our minds.
From the chains and shackles that they’re in.
