I'm not gonna lie, anxiety has been consuming me lately
My thoughts have been swallowing me again and again.
Texting my friends has never been so hard, I'm scared I'll say the wrong thing...and though I tell the truth stoically sometimes I wish things were different, sometimes I wish my situation allowed me to say yes more often than no. I hate being the mysterious friend with a dark past, i hate being the girl known as the most cheerful and free spirited when in truth I'm fighting inside and some days the fighting gets physically painful.
It's hard to tell people those things...
It's hard to open up, to trust.
It's hard when you're being double crossed,
It's hard when people only know parts of you.
And don't get me wrong, I have an incredible family and incredible friends.
It's just that little achy hole, Satan whispering his lies, my over active imagination swirling me into imagined depths.
And we all have those struggles, some of us more than others.
And God is good without failure, and I need to remember that.
Prayers for me this month, ok? <3 Please email me or comment if you'd like me to pray for you because it's so important and I've been neglecting my spiritual life lately.

Anyway! Moving on to lighter subjects :)
I've been fooling around on Goodreads a lot...so friend me there and we can talk about books and my upcoming WIP which I will hopefully finish finally. I can't wait to hold a printed out first draft copy in my hands :) THAT GLORIOUS DAY *operatic vibrato*
ALSO I painted my room light blue! I added fairy lights and am working on pulling a SUPER aesthetic look together. I'm thinking this style for the top of my bed...the only think is I have sort of a fancy curlicue head board so I'm gonna have to work on incorporating that :P
MY PINTEREST FEED IS LIKE FREE THERAPY NOT EVEN KIDDING YOU xD #thingstobethankfulfor
I am secretly documenting my family history being told to me by my incredible story teller Grandma.
