Day Nine
A dream you’ve had recently
You ever had one of those dreams where you wake up crying & don’t really know why? This was one of those:
I woke up one morning in a big bed with HUGE fluffy white pillows. The sun was shining in through the big bay window in the corner (which also had huge white pillows scattered underneath). I get up out of the bed & I see a grab a fuzzy white...
Day Eight
Your Biggest Fear
Losing the most important person to me.
Ironically, it’s raining outside right now....

-I can play piano. -I don’t have my ears pierced. -My nose wiggles when I talk. -When I get in the mood to clean, I turn into Monica Gellar. -I do, actually, cry. -I sing at Rodeo’s. -I have a family member that lives in London. -I’m a Florida fan at heart.
Day Seven
If You Really Knew Me (This show is on TV right now. Eerie.)
If you really knew me, you’d know that I’m fighting a battle right now. I’m fighting a battle with Satan for my joy. He’s trying his hardest to take every bit of it away from me, and I’m partially letting him. I’ve gotten weak from fighting & I’m starting to fall apart. But you’d never...
Sigh.
I love him.
Day Six
How have you changed since last year
End of September 2009
I was a sophomore in college. For some reason I thought that my hair looked good after I took it out of a braid (it did not - clearly). I was two-years into a loving relationship with a soldier. I was stuck at GPC hating school, which in turn made me hate my life. I was a waitress at Johnny’s NY Pizza making $2.15 an hour (cause...
Day Five
Something you strongly believe in…….
I believe that I am naturally born a sinner, deserving of Hell. I believe that God loved me enough to provide an atonement for my sins in the sacrifice of His one & only Son. I believe that His blood & grace extend into eternity, & cover all. I believe that I was put here in order to glorify Him with my life, & tell others about...

How You Met All Your Best Friends

Amy -Senior trip summer before senior year -staying up until 4am talking about peeing standing up -we’ve had our rough patches, but we’re closer now than we’ve ever been
Emily -I was...
Day Three
Something you like about yourself
I like my smile. Mainly because I like smiling.

Boom.
I hate being the only one with balls to say things that have needed to be said for 6 months. I hate saying what everyone else has een saying, only for them to cop out when called out. I love being made to look like the idiot. I love crying this much in one week - it’s probably my favorite thing ever. I love being underestimated & betrayed. I love secrets that are meant to hurt me. I love...
Day Two
Something You’re Most Insecure About
In 9th grade, someone gave me an indirect insult that has stuck with me for the past 7 years. It was early summer, we were about to swim for the first time that summer, when a friend’s mom made the rude comment. She looked at her half-mexican daughter, then to me, then crossed her arms and said snarkily “I think tan fat is a lot more...
WatchHilarious.
Day One

Wake Me Up When September Ends
Tonight, I cried. Nay, I bawled & blubbered. It was the first time in a very long while that I just 100% completely broke down in absolute hiccuping-“I did my best”-tears. (Props if you know the quote.) I was standing in Perry’s kitchen, stocking the freezer & it just happened. I burst.
Burst is an inaccurate word. I shattered, rather. I shattered like a glass. Luckily,...
