| - Brightly Wound; Marvelous Things It's been so long since I've posted... such a long time. In the span of my life, what's a few months? Nothing, I suppose, in the end... and yet everything. I've changed so much, grown so much recently. I'm a new person, a new person who is realizing for what may well be the first time what a thrill it is to actually be living. I mean... what better opportunity do we get than this?
I'm laughing and crying right now... for life.
I beat all my chances. In the sense of a lifetime, it was not too long ago that I would have been laughing and crying for just the opposite... an ironic kind of laughter that only those with dead souls can enjoy. But as it turns out, I only thought I was dead. This summer proved me wrong. I can get more out of life than I ever thought possible... and it's all beautiful in different ways. Even the cloudy days glow a little with the sun behind them, because that's just what happens. And I don't want to miss a second of it. There is beauty even in pain, and evil, and brokenness... if only because of the places that are whole and good and full of love. Just to be alive and loving is the most wonderful thing anyone can do.
Fear is a thing of the past. I don't need it. I guess I've only just realized that I never did. I know where I'm going, and no matter how I get there, I am going to end up in the best place I could ever go. For now, I want life...
and I want it abundantly. | | |
| It's been a really long time since I've posted... sorry about that. Life has been hectic, so I guess I have a lot of news to put up here.
Since last time I posted, I've gotten accepted to Governor's School and to Elon. I'm really excited about Governor's School... 6 weeks with smart kids who love English as much as I do, plus a masquerade ball which will be incredibly fun. Also, I am now guaranteed a spot at Elon, a beautiful university about an hour away from my house. ^^ Yayness.
I got a car this weekend. It's a pale blue '98 Ford Contour... not exactly the most expensive car ever, but I love it. ^^ I am so peachy I'm fuzzy this weekend... | | |
| - You Are My Hope I'm kind of tired today... I've been sick all week, and it's draining. Of course, I had two chorus concerts and the SAT this weekend, which didn't help. The SAT was actually easier than I remembered it, which is good. I think the concerts went well too... the composer of one of our songs was there and she looked absolutely thrilled. Yayness.
The Crucible is officiall the worst play I've ever read. I have never read characters more despicable, selfish, and stupid. It was well-written, but that didn't stop me from chucking it across the room multiple times. People are stupid. | | |
| - Come My WayMy grandfather spent the past two days with us. It was nice to see him- it's not often I get to spend time with him, but it's always fun. We went to see Duke Chapel yesterday, which was lovely, and went out to Japanese last night for dinner. That was especially nice since he loved Japan while he was stationed there. I really love my time with him. | | |
| Happy birthday to Jesus!!! And merry Christmas to everyone else! | | |
