Just a Memory

Believe Be free Make sure that you’ll be Happy I held your hand in mine I pushed you to try Even when you were the most upset You never gave up You are incredible I saw the best in you when you were at your worst I know you can do it even when it hurts I gave you words and I pushed you to speak I watched your progress growing every week. Now I’m gone but I know you’re alright Now I’m gone but I know you can fight I know you can do anything you try I know you will spread your wings and fly Take on the world You’ll rule the world Amaze the world (x2) I’m in the past Stand on your own feet tall

In God We Trust

Was the United States of America founded on Christianity? Recently this has been a debate. Here are some quotes from our nation's early history. George Washington: "It is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful or Hs benefits, and humbly to implore His protection and favor." John Adams: "We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other." James Madison: "Before any man can be considered as a mem

Nothing Comes From Nothing

Sometimes, existential nihilism seems the answer, minus the empathy for any living thing, minus the trust we put in every single other thing, because we are nothing when we are born, and we sculpt our nothing into newer skins of unimportant trends. Meaning is “the consequence of effort and commitment.” So, for the purpose of example: babies are nothing, because how can they be expected to try? And I am still nothing… so I am not trying? But we can go deeper. Measure the impact we have in other lives, measure the impact we’ve had in our own game of cards, and that can’t really be amounted to a consequence of your

Things I learned in 2015

- Just how easily history can and does repeat itself - How much healing I still need to do - How confused I am about certain aspects of myself - That self-improvement is not linear. It's not a singular straight line that goes up and up and up, it's a "few steps forward, few steps back" kind of thing and it's intricate and continuous. - That the pursuit of perfection is hollow. It's a fight against a never-ending current that'll leave you feeling spent and hopeless. - That by and large, there is no "right moment" to say or do things. Sure, there are opportune times and inopportune times, but the idea that there's an objective "right time"

Any Good

     It was a stormy day in the middle of a weary summer. Gray rain was smuding the windows of a certain darkened house. Robin sat in her living room, staring at shadows of droplets sinking over the walls.     At the very same moment, her younger brother was signing twin adoption  papers in sunny California.     Baby birds were nestling in a tree close by, children of a sparrow rescued last spring.     A child in Haiti was still thrilling to the contents of a Christmas shoebox.     A beloved bulldog was home with his family after days on the run.     Hung on a sweet neighbor's mantle was a "thank you" card, bringing a smile whenever she

Anguish of Betrayal

   There is no justice in this world he thought, as he walked through the halls of the ancient palace. No justice for the weak, no hope for the strong.  This had once been a place of great beauty and peace, a beacon of strength and honor for all who had once passed through its gilded gates. It was like him, in a way, a symbol of strength and hope reduced to nothing more than a broken soldier fighting a desperate war. Now it was just another burning ruin. Oh, how the mighty have fallen he thought, as he smiled in a moment of cold, bitter humor.   He could hear them outside the walls, the army that had followed him here. Once all loyal soldie
