I’m so glad this year is over with. 

I see the short-lived effects of whatever I wanted to come of Hope or Trikap, and it’s a bit heart-breaking. What I realize is, people in college are selfish - not necessarily in a bad way. While college is a shit-show, it’s also a time to get your shit together. It’s that moment before you take a leap into the deep end of the pool called reality, and whether you sink or swim depends on how much preparation you put into your undergrad years. 
What I thought was that as long as you had people beside you, you’d be able to soar over the deep end and reach for something greater - higher than the expectations we could ever expect out of our lives. 

“We are each of us angels with only one wing, and we can only fly by embracing one another.”

However, I see that it’s quite the opposite. The more people you are clinging onto, the more weight you’re adding onto yourself, the deeper you end up sinking. 

While I understand that I can’t get through this without God (a relationship I’m currently trying to piece back together), the presence of “brothers and sisters”, at least not in great quantities, is not necessary. 

So cheers to a new life motto: Imma do me, and you can do you. Whether our lives cross is up to whoever’s watching over us up there.

HAHA one of my favorite movies thanks to Olivia(:

so many good quotes from this movie loll 

witnessed yet another break in my life…
one act that was possibly made out of pure intentions…
backfired…  

Most people see the world as a threatening place, and, because they do, the world turns out, indeed, to be a threatening place. 

Santiago’s Heart to Santiago 

i sat there thinking how scary the notion of “interest” budding into “like” then blossoming into “love” could damage someone’s heart… and not just the emotions that are directed towards people, but other passions and dreams in life… the attachment that trails along-side this development of feelings… 

 The boy and his heart had become friends, and neither was capable now of betraying the other.

The Alchemist

i’m waiting for the day i can trust and listen to you…
please don’t betray me again.

Be bold. Be you. Be jeweled! Our friends at Who What Wear and I agree that there’s no limit to the amount of sparkle you can put in your step this season. 

Footwear, accessories, and everyday denim are getting a luxurious twist, as seen in Christopher Kane’s collection for J Brand, which is popping with outrageous patterns and overstated pizzazz.  It’s time to take last year’s ordinary cutoffs to the cutting edge! 

To create:  Start with your favorite pair of jean cutoffs.  Use a ruler and a pencil to create a grid pattern - size of grid and spacing depends on your preference (our lines are approx 1/2 an inch a part).  Use a pencil to draw grid and then trace over with white puffy paint.  Once dry use a real or fake flower to dip in fabric paint to create a stamp. Stamp the flower shape directly onto shorts in an alternating pattern.  We used about 9-10 stamps per each side of short. Once paint is dry use fabric glue to secure large paillette sequins to the center of each “flower” shape.  Once all are in place and dry then glue the larger flat back gems to the center of each sequin.  Finally secure the smaller gems between each “flower” shape. (Approximately 5-6 per side).  Allow to completely dry before wearing. 

CECILEEE~ 
We should do this together :)
Cross off one of your items on your Summer To-Do List!

Vision of You  -  Shane and Shane 

awaken what’s inside of me,
tune my heart to all you are in me. 
even though you’re here
God come.  
may the vision of you be the death of me, 
and even though you’ve given everything
Jesus come.  

i am so grateful for the people God has placed in my life.  

it amazes me how something so awesome can be diminished in such a way that you despise the thought of being near it. you people annoyed the heck out of me. you people frustrate me so much. you people are so ridiculous sometimes.

you people… are blessings that God has so graciously given to me. you people are the physical manifestation of His love and His heart for me.  

thank you for being my lifelines in this broken world we live in. 
i sincerely love you guys.  

————-

i’ve been a bit off. just physically exhausted and stressed. leaving me vulnerable to other negative thoughts. i made a mistake… but God is so gracious to still allow me to feel His presence when i am such an unclean vessel. 

i got this. time to get back up.

Make a wish

i wish i could go back in time… 

When did our friendship start to deteriorate? 
I always go through phases of feeling like the odd-one-out. 
Hopefully this is just a phase, right? It’ll end. 

Have I become insensitive?
Are they over-reacting? Or am I underestimating my bluntness?
Where did all my patience go?
I’m tired of trying to rack my brain in order to sugar-coat everything. Of being nice. I say things the way I see them now. 

I am jack’s insensitive tongue.  

I’m sorry to the freshmen and sophomore girls.
I haven’t been trying hard enough to be there for them… for a lot of people actually. But half of me doesn’t care. I’ve done my part for previous years. I’m low on energy. Other people can pick up my slack for now, right?

The probability of you getting hurt or disappointed is only increased when making yourself available to more individuals and their problems. 

I failed my orgo exam. 
“Maybe this is a sign from God telling you not to become a doctor.”
… Does He want me to fight through this blip or change directions?…

WHY CAN’T YOU MAKE YOURSELF MORE CLEARER TO ME?!
