Somewhere over the rainbow is simply just somewhere over the rainbow...

“Come out of hiding, you're safe here with me. There's no need to cover what I already see. Throw off your fear and come running to me.”

Why is this so hard? We tried so hard to pretend that we are okay when we are the furthest thing from it. Tonight my best friend got married and yet while I am so excited and happy for her, I have sat here in my bed and cried for the last hour. And this might be too honest and too vulnerable, but it is the God's honest truth. In which, if we are being honest, the only real reason this is being written is due to the amount of self evalution that I have had in the past two hours.

I heard this song not even 48 hours in which it says, “come out of hiding, you're safe here with me.” How long have we longed for this? How long have I longed for this? Every day I crave this. I need this. Every single day I pretend to cover up things that I don't have the courage to say or confront and deal with and yet someone who I didn't even know, died for me. He craves my attention. He craves my passion. He craves my intimacy. He craves my conversation. And yet every day, I push him away. Why? Because I am terrified.

I literally, I cannot stop crying and yet while I should be in the one happiest moods of my life, there is apart of my heart that is completely shattered and broken. A part of me that is completely jaded and cynical that just wants to be proven to that something else exists. Apart of me that really just wants to believe there is something more but unfortunately it is just all a fairy tale story to me.

I try to pretend so desperately that something else exists outside of what I imagine but yet, for some reason, what I imagine just seems to be too good to be true. My hopes only lead to my disappointments and yet, what I strive for in life only shatters and falls to the ground.

“What hindered loved is what only becomes only part of the story?” – everything hinders love that I think of. Everything hinder relationships. Everything hinders friendships. Everything hinders everything in my mind because unfortunately, nothing to me seems a 100%. and that might be being too honest, but at least it is telling the truth.


Every person longs for the one friend, companion, spouse, common denominator to make the difference- the very one to flip their reality and make them believe once and for all, everything that they have dreamt of. Yet, to me, this dream is only shattered.

I tell myself that by writing this, it should make me feel better. It should make me clear my head and cause me to get things out in the open. So we shall see if that actually works. I've kept my mouth shut for 21 days. I've maintained my composer and I've kept a good attitude. I had decided that the best thing for me to do was to keep my lips sealed, hold the anger within, and not say how I feel and not vent. But, I couldn't do that forever. Eventually you will break if you hold it all inside. I look at pictures, I hear conversations, I read text messages, I see posts, and it makes me cringe on the inside. And in all honesty, I was tired of my friends asking me what was wrong, as I said nothing and then smiled after they said that they didn't believe me. Cringe : (verb) to draw back as with fear or pain. To shatter and recoil. I'm not an angry person. I don't live in guilt. But I do question myself, often. I question decisions...

Every once in a while, a song is released and it becomes so much more than just a song. It becomes an anthem. It becomes the very breath of your existence and it reminds you daily, of who you are and why you show up, day in and day out and do what you are called and created to do. You find this song and it resonates on the inside of you until it becomes an absolute truth. If I could get the lyrics to “King of My Heart” tattooed on my body, I would. But even more so, this song has become my life song. I struggled with this song when I first heard it because there is a line that says, “You’re never gonna let me down; You are good.” This line of the song goes on for a solid 30 seconds and it’s upbeat and real and it’s raw with every emotion you can put into a song. You can feel it. However, I wrestled with this because there have been plenty of times when I have felt let down. Specifically let down by God. Confused, angered, frustrated, hurt, questioning everything, full of doubt...

Who Says I Can't Take My Time...

It was snowing when I landed and it is now snowing as we get ready to leave this small little town of Tecumseh. It's quiet here. It's peaceful and it is simple.   I remember when I used to come home or visit other places, it was no big deal when I would head out. I wouldn't cry. I wouldn't get upset. I wouldn't freak out. But now I am a complete opposite. I bawl like a baby and I get scared when someone says, "When will I see you again?" Well, that happened about 5 times this morning and it's a good thing I I didn't pack my makeup in my suitcase. Talk about water works. Because honestly, who knows when you will see them. It's so easy to get so caught up just living day to day.  While getting ready this morning, John Mayer's "Who Says" came on Pandora and I began to just smile as I sat there. If you know the song, don't worry I'm not condoning getting high but I am condoning "who says you can't do what you want to ...
