strong



we are.

looking for answers

at age 90, her house burned to the ground
instead of losing faith, she kept on moving
five months later, its almost completely rebuilt
"now I know why God gave me six sons...never doubt what God gives you."

stay beautiful

I finally finished unpacking from Honduras, and it is terrifying to think that now I have put all that away, and now I really can't go back. I need to see you and hear your voice and I need to know that it was real and that it meant as much to you guys as it did to me. But I can't.
so I'll just listen to my playlist and think..

collectors




"the only thing i
know for sure is that i want
some avocados!"

"a veces"

I don't want to sound whiney...because honestly, I'm so happy with my life right now
on the phone, I told Jake everything I was so excited for...
the list was an hour and a half long.
I want to write it all out again, it just feels good to say the words
"guess what?! I'm so excited for..."


"best thing thats happened to me in all of high school"

having a sister isn't always that bad,
in fact, sometimes it great.

yes we can

the flowing patriotic music
and excitement all around me
can't fill me as much as
you being happy would.
if its so important to vote,
and if it feels like each person can make such a big difference
why can't we each reach out
and why can't we touch the people's lives who are so close to us?
I wish I knew what to say.

"yes we can"
why can't I?

baha'i

its the little things

"baths rock!"
"fact"
"guess what?"
"what?"
"you rock!"


time is warped,
honduras never happened,
honduras just happened.
I've known you forever,
we've been like this forever,
this is happening so fast,
I've known you for so little time.
how does 10 days seem like so long
after six weeks?
Life's for livin' child, can't you see?
