i have hope in you,


we all have a different idea of beauty.
so why not see the underlying beauty that everything holds?

currently listening to: unwinding cable car, anberlin

i'm still deciding if anything is worth changing. and still, i have no answer. sometimes the answers aren't right in front of my face, and i get frustrated. but i've found those unexpected things to mean the most. i've found that i always recover after everything. i've found there are truly people out there who care about me more than i knew anyone ever could. the truth, i care too much. and sometimes i wish i didn't at all. i
sometimes, when i feel lonely and scared, i leave myself to think about life and what i want out of it. sometimes it's so reassuring. other times i can't handle it.

i know that sometimes our hearts hurt more than we're willing to reveal. sometimes we feel we have to hide ourselves, our feelings, because we're scared. but sometimes what we're hiding is who we truly are. i walk on the edge of life as i know it. with the hope of not falling. but when you walk on the edge, you have to expect losing your balance at times. i want to say to you...and to myself...breathe in each moment, and in each moment take a breath. if you must, let tears fall. if you can, smile at every opportunity.

there are a lot of people in this world. and if i really think about it, i'm not much at all. but i know there is at least one person i am capable of touching in the greatest way. and i know my purpose is defined more than i know. if i can be someone to at least some person, i can die knowing i did something right along the way of life...

i don't believe in shame. i just thought i'd say that, because pride is becoming increasingly meaningful to me.

i just want to look at the stars, and not have to think about the things that are pulling me down.
i lost myself somewhere in this world, and i'm on my way back to finding myself again.
i know, i have something to believe in.
i know i have a place somewhere, even though sometimes i feel like i belong nowhere.
i know i have more love to give than i know, even though sometimes it feels like the hope we once had is gone. or lost. either way, it's nonexistent to me. and that, leaves me cold.
when can i feel warm again?
like i said, i lost myself somewhere in the world. and i can see small glimpses of that sometimes. i just have to figure out how to completely reach out and grab the hope i once had for myself.
i know it's there, and here to stay forever.
