| Tired of crying, tired of trying
Tired of lying when inside I'm dying
Tired of never being enough
Tired of hanging on when things are tough
Tired of pretending I'm okay when I'm not
Tired of being the one everyone forgot
Tired of feeling like things never change
Tired of reaching for things out of my range
Tired of waiting for the rainy days to end
Tired of dreading what tomorrow will send
But just when I think that I have no choice
It's then that I hear that still small voice
I know you're tired but you're not alone
I'm here for you always and your name is known.

If things are out of sorts and you feel without a prayer
Remember that there is Someone who promises to be there
When times are tough or you feel weak
He's the One you need to seek
He'll pull you close and hold you tight
And keep you through the darkest night
If life throws you curves and it becomes hard to stand
He'll reach out and take your hand
It won't always be easy, but He'll lead the way
and help you face whatever comes each day
So keep pressing on no matter how bad things may seem
'Cause through eternity's eyes this is just a fleeting dream. | | |
| Since this seems to be the thing to do and I was bored and exhausted I thought I'd do it to. So read on for 25 random facts about me. It's everything you never wanted to know.
Current mood:  sick
Category: Blogging 1- I have lived in 17 houses (and 5 states) in 24 years
2- I have a doll named Jenna that I got so long ago that I can't remember not having her. She goes with me almost every time I go somewhere overnight.
3- The two strangest pets I ever had were a turtle that appeared on my doorstep in FL and a baby racoon my mom and I found while walking in NY.
4-I had an alligator that lived in my backyard in FL
5- When I get bored I tend to change my hair: I dye it, cut it, curl it, or straighten it.
6- I can remember entire conversations and events that happened years ago, but I misplace my cell phone or keys a couple times a week.
7- I love to read and write. Words rock my world!
8- I listen to country music
9- I like spending time with kids because it is refreshing to see their innocence and wonder at the world.
10- I am only 3 1/2 inches away from being a legal midget according to the LPA (Little People of America)
11- I think Tinkerbell is cool
12- I am arachnophobic. My worst nightmares deal with spiders.
13- I think that TWLOHA (www.twloha.com) is an amazing organization with a very important message: You are not alone; there is hope.
14- I read the Book of Virtues, which is over 500 pages, in 5th grade for fun
15- I kick butt at air hockey
16- My favorite shows include: NCIS, Touched by An Angel, Grey's Anatomy, & Private Practice

18- I collect quotes and icons on the computer
19- I have no sense of direction. I've been told I couldn't find my way out of a wet paper bag with a map. (How I would be able to read the map with a paper bag on my head I'm not quite sure, but that's besides the point)
20- I like taking pictures because they are fun to look back on later
21- The Happy Bunny makes me laugh
22- I agree with my dad that most of the time pizza and icecream are the two best cures.
23- I blush easily
24- I love Disney movies
25- I have only been kissed once and it was by a guy who meant the world to me. | | |
| It's been over two years since I last cut myself and tonight I gave in. I should feel guilty, or embarassed, or something but all I feel is better. I was so tired and frustrated and just plain annoyed with the world and I couldn't handle it anymore. I am tired now, both from the crying and the cutting, so I will probably sleep tonight... | | |
| As I get older I am starting to realize that the changing of the seasons from Summer to Fall always leaves me feeling somewhat pensive and reflective. It's not a bad feeling and it's rather fitting. Fall, to me, is a time of change. It is the passing of the old in order to make way for the new. Not everything changes, but enough that we notice it. This is kind of a new thought and I haven't completely processed it yet, but I will keep you updated as I do. Speaking of changes, I just started my new job as a nanny and I love it. The kids are a 10 & 11 year old brother and sister. I will keep you posted on how that goes as well. Also, I am starting a new writing project. The working title is "Surviving Solitude: A Girl's Guide to Living Single in a Couple's World." I have a sort of basic idea of how it should read and what points I want to make, but would really value any feedback. Single, married, male, female; doesn't matter. If you have a comment, idea, anecdote, etc. that you think would be relevant to this topic, please don't hesistate to share it.
