When life smiles remember to thank the one that gives it. When it cries remember to thank Him even more for making the smile possible. When your mad at Him scream, He said, “Come as you are.” Never forget who He is and the beauty He made you to be.
@2nd_zoeyy Nope. A message must be sent out that this behavior has to end. The problems it causes has been hidden long enough. 1 in 3 girls, 1 in 4 boys before puberty with many thinking numbers re highly. It completely destroys life with no current treatment that is transformative
The cool, wet grass gave way under my bare soles, holding the chill of early morning. I stood on the edge of the front porch, the world still quiet, and then it hit me—a deep, low vibration through the dirt. A train, miles away, cutting through the tracks.
Standing there, I felt a strange, sudden weight in the universe. On one side of the earth, something heavy was moving. On the other side, there had to be something to balance it out. For the first time in my life, I felt grounded. I was standing exactly where I was supposed to be.
But right beneath that cool grass was a kid full of hate.
I was mad at the world, mad at everybody in it, and burning from the inside out. My life was a series of violent contradictions. I’d call my dad on the phone, voice thick with emotion, telling him how much I loved him. An hour later, I’d kick in the office door, tear the frame out of the wall, and carry off the safe. I was a walking explosive, unpredictable even to myself.
The sheriff’s department didn't send a lone cruiser when my name came over the radio. They knew better. They’d send five deputies just to surround the perimeter, stepping carefully, trying to talk me down. Most of the time, I was easy enough to reason with. Until I wasn’t.
When the switch flipped, the world shrunk. Tunnel vision. Blinders snapped on over my eyes. I couldn't see past the wall of chaos right in front of me. Deep down, I was terrified of getting into fights—not because I was afraid of getting hurt, but because I didn't know how dark I’d go once the blood started pumping.
@ursmelisa Nobody cares about anybody anymore. Quit worrying about what other people think. Just be you. Find one person to love you unconditionally and you will be the most blessed of all
