I’m apparently a good actor.

Um… Apparently I appear confident. As much as I hate to admit it, I’m very insecure and I sorta tend to care what most people think. Now, I will admit that I frequently flaunt my sarcastic confidence and self absorbance, but tend to apologize afterward because I feel bad.  If you think about that, it sounds really dumb.  “I feel bad for feeling good about myself.” I am an odd person.  I’m okay with that.  I’ve accepted myself for who I am (most of the time) and I feel great being myself.  Until I have to go outside.  Usually, I get ready to go somewhere and as I’m in the car on the way I start having second thoughts.  Well just...

I m patient

I’m patient…impatient…it’s a fine line.  I like to dance back and forth.  Some days I can wait for anything without any problem.  Other days I’m so impatient that I become crabby and kinda intolerable.  The root of my impatience is lack of control.  If I don’t know exactly what’s happening in my life I get anxious and impatient.  The same thing happens when I can’t figure out where my life is heading.  Currently, I’m kind of holding on for dear life as I’m thrown into the tornado that is my life.  I’m trying to just be along for the ride, but it’s increasingly harder the longer this goes on. Even...

Little Miss Sunshine

I’m already smiling and all I’ve done is write the title. So, I just got back from camp (like, two weeks ago) and I’ve started three posts upon my return.  This one, however, is different.  This is a tiny part of the story of how my life was changed by 160 people.  This is (hopefully) going to become a mini series on here about different people at camp who taught me different things.   So this is about Little Miss Sunshine.  I met Maria at camp last summer.  She was in my cabin my very first year at camp and I was lucky enough to have her in my cabin again this year.  Maria is unlike anyone I’ve ever met.  Any time you look at her,...

Steadfast loyalty and unwavering fidelity.

The redundancy is strong with this post. Today, I’m going to be talking about the importance of loyalty, trust, and the lack of both.   Just because someone gains your trust doesn’t give them a lifetime pass.  If they do something to lose your trust, there can be consequences and they may end up not only losing your trust, but also your respect.  Decisions always result in consequences.  Whether they’re good or bad depends on what path you choose.  This morning, I saw a quote that said “Life is a like a mirror.  When you smile at it, it smiles back.  When you frown, it frowns back.”  If you’re bitter and mean and hateful through...
