almost is the saddest word there can be. "he almost fell in love with me." "we were almost together." "i was almost good enough." when you expect something to happen but it slips out of your reach just like that and it never comes back.

i hate feeling like i'm just trying to survive each day lately... when i want to be thriving - living my life to the fullest. but sometimes, it's okay if you have to just get through the day. you tried, and that's enough. keep going.

surviving vs. thriving
a lot of people put celebrities and well-known figures on pedestals like they are gods or idols but if you really think about it they're just like you and i as different as we all might be all of us are more alike than we realize

my favorite color has always been blue most people may associate blue with sadness which can be true but blue is also the color of the ocean and the sky so blue is not such a sad color afterall i think blue is my favorite color because even though it may be a "sad" color it still is beautiful the days where there are blue skies the days where you gaze off into the distance of the vast ocean i think that's why blue is my favorite color

i used to want to die i wanted to end my life felt like it wouldn't have made a difference if i weren't here felt like i had no hope but i realize how beautiful life is if i ended my life today i could've missed out on so many things the people and friends i wouldn't have met the songs i wouldn't have listened to the memories i wouldn't have made the sunsets i wouldn't have seen the candid photographs of me and my friends having the time of our lives or just goofing around the lover i might meet someday soon i hope with whom i'll spend the rest of my life with if i weren't alive this strange yet beautiful thing called life there are so many reasons to stay alive and i'm glad i'm still alive now to be here for it all

1.) life is fleeting. live in the moment. 2.) people never call anymore. call your mom. call your grandma. call your old friend that you haven't talked to in middle school but wished you knew how they were doing. 3.) one of the worst things in life is to sit at your deathbed with regrets. all those "i wish," "i could have," "i should have"...just do what you're scared to do. it means you're about to do something really brave. 4.) people can't read your mind. no matter how close you are with that other person, they are not a mind-reader. just say what you're feeling, thinking, going through. 5.) you never really know what someone else is going through. show God's love to them. 6.) we forget while we're getting older, our parents are getting older too. cherish the time you have with them while you can. 7.) it's normal to feel lonely and to feel lost, especially in your 20's. 8.) don't worry; everyone else doesn't know what they're doing either. 9.) stop thinking you need to make all these societal milestone "achievements." people grow at different rates. 10.) no one will ever fully and completely understand you like God does. there's that saying: "God loves you more in a moment than anyone could in a lifetime." it's true.

10 life lessons i've learned at age 24
as followers of Jesus, we will be rejected. but we need to be reminded that Jesus was martyred, murdered, whipped, lashed, spat on, and condemned for being the Son of God. as it says in john 15v18: "if the world hates you, know that it has hated Me before it hated you." don't be ashamed of being a son or daughter of God. we aren't called to be like the world.

education doesn't stop after you get your college diploma, your grad school diploma, your ph.d... education is life. keep learning daily. also don't forget that God's wisdom is far higher than human wisdom. seek His wisdom above human wisdom. and most importantly, live it out with your deeds and actions, not just your words.
