Give me love like never before,
‘cause lately I’ve been craving more,
And it’s been a while but I still feel the same,
Maybe I should let you go,
My, my, my, my, oh give me love.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY ROOMMATE! I love you Claire! www.my60b.tumblr.com

Its my last day as an 18 year old and I’m chained to my desk.
Only three hundred and sixty six days left of being a teenager so hit the books!
It would take a gun man at our school for classes to be cancelled for the first time in 47 years.
I guess we are really academically focused.
When did all of my friends start drinking, doing drugs and having sex?
…..just saying, did I miss something? Suddenly it feels like we don’t have very much in common anymore.
This woman was considered to be so beautiful that her figure actually inspired art. Does she look like someone who starved herself? No. If you’re bigger than her, skinnier than her, a different color skin, or if you look exactly like the woman in this painting—accept yourself, right now. Because someone out there is going to find you so beautiful, just the way you are, and that love is going to make something as beautiful and as innocent as this painting. That you can count on. Love yourselves.

Reasons for me to be happy today:
- Its snowing outside!!! Big, beautiful, fluffy flakes! The campus is blanketed by it and its beautiful and makes me so happy and I feel like a kid. Also, I’m listening to that Starbucks CD my mom bought me in December “Let it Snow” despite the fact that half the songs are Christmas related. Don’t judge.
- I cleaned my dorm room and made my bed and my roommates and now it looks so marvelous and I feel productive.
- I’m sitting in bed, at eleven in the morning, watching Miss Congeniality, which is such a nostalgic movie for me. Whenever I think about it or watch it, I’m taken back to my Aunts living room for one of our “girls night in” evenings. We used to pile into the living room, eat food, do facial masks, paint nails, do massages and curl or straighten hair. So fun. My mom, my Aunt Patty, my Aunt Gerri, Jenny, Toni, Lauren and even my Grandma would just spend the evening all curled up together, and this was always (or at least it feels that way) the movie of choice.
- I found an online exercise tape that I’m going to do once I find where I put my will power.
- Did I mention its snowing?
- Oh, this might take the cake….I found out that “Hey Arnold!” is now available on “watch instantly” on Netflix….
- Harry Styles.
I’ve always wanted to take a road trip with friends to my family’s amazing house in Michigan.
But now that I’m looking into potentially going this May, I’m a little surprised as to who I want with me in that car. If you’d asked me to plan this four years ago, I think different people would be driving with me.
Don’t you get it? Time has passed and I feel like I don’t know you. I miss you. A lot. I miss you even when we’re together. I just wish you knew or cared. I just wish this post didn’t mean so much to me.
i have this weird self esteem problem where i hate myself yet i still think i’m better than everyone else

Looking back at 2011
- Senior Intern (best)
- suffered through and eventually conquered self-harm
- Retreats
- Nashville (best)
- Philly YS
- the 19’s
- finally became okay with who I am as a person and in Christ
- Prom
- Prom weekend at the shore with picnics and apples to apples
- Preached
- Graduated high school (whoa)
- Mexico for two weeks (best)
- Went to college
Of course, everything looks so small and insignificant on tumblr’s bullet points but I think 2011 was my best and worst year in so many ways. I think, because of 2011 more than any other year, I finally know who I am; I know what I like to do and what I don’t and I’ve learned to accept that people are going to judge me for walking the narrow path, that love should be all-consuming, that I shouldn’t settle, that I should work hard, that I’m going to mess up big time which is okay, and that no matter what joy or pain life brings me, Jesus is with me every step of the way, holding my hand, and giving me strength and peace.
Heres to another amazing year of love, laughter, lessons and the Lord.
