It's not even the new year yet, but I already have my new year's resolution...!

Something I have been procrastinating for a long time has been reading good books. I used to read a lot, but I since I went to college I have had a hard time reading when it's not for an assignment.

This year I want to read 12 books. That means 1 book a month. This is a modest goal I know, but I hope that means in 2019 I can set my goal even higher.

I will probably be posting reviews and quotes on this blog, so stay tuned!

Which is better: knowledge or sanity?

Ponies don't meow

We started out just talking to each other
You were the only one I had
We laughed the whole night through
I had my doubts
We were getting to know each other
It seemed like there was something there
A breach of trust, manipulation and selfishness
We can still be friends because now I know–
you're a cat not a pony.

I walk alone

Trying to ward off these feelings of loneliness
Desperation to connect seems to push people away more than being indifferent
Nobody can always be there for you
Everybody has their own responsibilities
I have God here to help me
I can't forget about Him.
I need to stop with the drama
I miss the friends I could count on
All around me all I see is strangers
I would rather be home alone than in a sea of people with no one to talk to
I guess that's the gist of it.

That's Just the Way I Am

"Once this man decided—once any of us conclude—'That’s just the way I am,' we give up our ability to change." -Elder Donald L. Hallstrom

From Feet to Self

Trust yourself from the ground up, starting with your feet.

Choose Him

Sometimes God shows us clearly the way we should take. And sometimes God leaves it up to us. He does this out of wisdom, since part of the reason we came here on earth is to learn how to exercise agency.
