So I haven't written on here in a long time. But I figured some people might still read it.
I'm just asking if everyone could pray for my family, especially my dad.
He had a heart attack on friday, and is still in the hospital, he probably will be for a few more days. He's doing ok now, but he had to get a heart cath (where he went into cardiac arrest on the table for a short time) and they found 90% blockage in his aorta and blockage in 2 other arteries. He had to get 3 stints to keep it open and they put him on a temporary pacemaker that they just took out today (he can finally sit up again after laying flat on his back for 2 days!).. at least he didn't have to get bypass surgery.
So I'm just asking that you keep him in his prayers, he is doing a lot better and is being his normal self, but that he continues to have a healthy recovery and that his health stays maintained in the future. He's always been really healthy, i guess so much that he didn't even realize he was having a heart attack (and he's a cardiology rn) he was just dizzy and his fingers tingly. there is a long history of heart problems in my family, but he is really young for that.
I guess if you all could keep him in your prayers and thoughts that would be great... thanks.
i'm here with dano now, we were in the hospital for awhile and like most 10 year olds... he was getting kinda ansy lol.
everything's kinda crazy right now. i just kind have to get through this week... finals, projects, working a lot, helping out the fam, and moving out (and then a week of spring break=working every single day)... i feel like i never get a break. but that's ok... i guess i kinda like keeping busy... I'm going to italy this summer! June 25- August 30... I'm real excited and even though i'll be in classes, i'm sure that'll at least be a break of sorts :D i'm excited.
time's moving waaay too fast.
I need to go move (my new car!) so dano can play basketball now.
again, thank you for the prayers.

--"Who took my strawberry?!... you did! You did it! You stole my strawberry!"
-"I didn't steal your strawberry."
--"Well then tell me, where did it go?"
-"You never had any strawberries."
None of us ever really did, did we? We all just need someone to yell at, we need someone to blame so we can point our crooked bruised fingers at someone else. But, in fact, we had it lost since the beginning.
ooook sorry lol, rando. I like writing completely random stuff like that. lol, if you only knew the inspiration. The smallest things, I swear lol.
It feels like friday. I'm kind of excited. I don't exactly know why, but there's so much ahead of me, and I just can't help but to be excited. Somehow even when I feel screwed out of the world, I don't know, I'm still excited for something, or a lot of things.
And I figure, I love summer... I love everything about it. But it's over. and nothing is going to take me to summer, so I figure, I might as well just be happy with what I have... so I am excited for pumpkins and apple cider and hay rides and bonfire and the chill of the day that comes with fall.
And I'm not dreading the snowfall and seeing my breath and playing in the snow and sitting by the fireplace and drinking hot cocoa and ice skating and sledding.
I guess it's not so bad really.
you know what's fascinating? Our lives... I mean, we wake up every day and walk out the door not knowing what to expect. We have no idea who we'll talk to or what obstacles we'll meet. We don't know if we'll smile and laugh today, or if we'll clutch our hearts and cry. It's all kind of an adventure, living, that is. And right now, nothing in my life is really laid out for me. I'm at the prime of my life, because not only do I not know what to expect today... but I don't know what to expect tomorrow or anywhere else in my future (other than eventually dying, that is). But it's kind of amazing, you don't know what will happen to you, or even what you will do. It's crazy how much even you can change in a day. The world-- all time, all space is focused on your life right now. Why? Because you're living. And that's all that matters. Yeah, it's focused on everyone else too... but you only know what you see. Think about it-- All of the people that you have had different amounts of impact on, the amounts are endless. So when you think back on your life, and the people who have affected you... think about how many people are thinking back on their own lives, and your face comes to their mind. It's kind of amazing, really, that as you sit here and think about different people... someone else out there may be sitting there thinking about you. There are so many people in the world. I don't know though, as I write this, I find it hard to believe, but really, we're all a little alike. We all have hindsight, and we all think maybe a little too much. So it's likely that if you're thinking about someone, or a certain experience, maybe someone else is too. It's interesting. And it's interesting how out of everything in the world... this is your life. You could be somewhere else with other people... but you're not. It's amazing that this happened. This is where I am supposed to be. This is my fate. Though this is not the end of things... just imagine, for a second, where else you could be... and how no matter how much you tell yourself you want to be there with other people... you really don't. Because you're not. As dissatisfied as you are with your life... think about it like this... you have this. No one else has this and no one else ever will. That's the way it is. In all space and all time... this, this is all you.
It's just so amazing. I could be somewhere else... but I'm not.

hm I'm actually in a really good mood right now. And what's fun to do when you're a good mood? Go on an adventure, of course. lol but really, I'm pretty sad, we never went camping... hm we should go this fall? Camping could be fun in the fall. I hate the fall... everyone says it's beutiful, but what's so pretty about dying leaves? lol but I do love the days when the weathers cloudy and rain is drizzling lightly and there's a breeze, and it's cool outside. Ah I can't wait to live in Ireland lol. So anyway-- I feel like doing something crazy-- any suggestions?

The tears ran down her face from her glowing blue eyes. They made a path down her cheeks to the corners of her mouth that split her lips in an unassuring smile. She wanted to cry more than anything, but she couldn't. She had no real reason. Finally, a bolt of laughter from something that probably wasn't really that funny shot the tears out of her system. She never had a reason to cry. She did not know why she wanted it so bad. But in the end, she felt as though a load had been lifted off her back. But the sting of the tears still spiked her face because she knew, that in the end, nothing really had been resolved. This feeling she had, it would stay longer, it did not leave with her tears. And she knew when she woke up the next morning, everything would be back to how it was. But she felt so relieved to finally cry. It had been so long since she last cried, she forgot how it felt. She wanted it so bad, but never really had a reason to let it out. At least until this night. She let out the tears that were falsly believed to have been tears of delight. In the end, though it is now decided, laughter does make one feel a lot better. Even if it is so much more than happiness, sometimes, a world of pain could be uplifted from a little chuckle.

Someone out there has bigger problems than you do. Someone out there is worse off than you.
But it's not about who has it worse. It's not about who's problems are the biggest.
It's about who can practice the most strength, courage, and humility to make it through.
It's in all of us. We all have the ability to be the better person in the worst situation.
But it takes all of that and more to be able to practice it in tough situations.
But if you can, if you can try your hardest, it's enough. That will get you through it.
And in the end, all will be well. All will be well.

I remember driving home, even from work, late in the evening this past summer, taking the long way home, that was completely out of the way, but it's what I wanted because I could just roll my windows down and sit back and relax... physically and mentally. Cool wind on my face, mellow music in the background, no other cars on the road... I love it.
But for now... I'm so excited for spring. The sunny days the warm weather the desire to be productive and do well at something-- anything. I'm excited... I just hope I don't get my hopes up
It's almost Florida time... this week is going to be soo long... it's ok... I'm going to make it... I have to make it...
I really want to go to Chicago this May with my aunt for a walk for Cure Autism Now... I feel like I reeeally want to do something for this... it's not just because I'd like to go to Chicago, I just feel almost obligated to do something to help... I really want to help somehow, I just wish there was something, and what if this was it?

Things happen. And that's the end of it. There is no going back, there is no changing anything. They just happen and that's how it is. We don't know why or how they seem to happen the way they do, but they do. We persevere and find our consequences or rewards. That's just how it is.
"No dream is found without going through the dark"
Sometimes we stop in the dark. Sometimes we're lost. It feels like there's nothing we can do, nowhere to go from here. We reach out and call out and we think can't find anything because we don't see it. But we make it. It's ok to fall sometimes. "It's okay if you break, you'll see colors again." And that's the way it is. Maybe dreams are only meant to dreamt, maybe they're meant to be our lives. But all I know is that things happen. And that's the end of it.
