all on the walk home.
all on the walk home. so much in just a five minute walk to the dorms. a life changed. maybe two. maybe even 4. all on the walk home.
after studying with joel, anna, and lauren, i decided instead of catching a ride with them, i’d brave the cold for five minutes and walk back to my room. not 2 minutes after parting ways i notice a guy walking next to me, clearly intoxicated. stumbling,...

just one of the few things my philosophy teachers going over in his hour, fifteen minute class. i would describe his class like opening a gift blindfolded. you dont know what it your opening, but you know its going to be something good. as you rip off the rapping paper, and as you draw closer and closer to opening the gift, you...
them bones.
a stuffy class. filled with the hum-drum of chairs creeking, people murmuring, and the constant click-clack of bones being articulated. an articulated foot is being pressed to my face. a femur catches the corner of my eyes. there is no teacher present, no gary. But still, there are students filling the room. students so eager to look at the bones of autonomous people, long since past away,...

Luke 15:8-10
[8] “Or suppose a woman has ten silver coins and loses one. Does she not light a lamp, sweep the house and search carefully until she finds it? [9] And when she finds it, she calls her friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost coin.’...

first impressions.
time: 3:55.
they say the first thoughts are the most important. first impressions, its called. what are first impressions but superficial judgement calls, and intuition about the persons? i can say with confidence that in a conversation i just had, i have been blown away. ASB president, a pageant princess, even a dancer. who would have EVER thought. clearly not me. beyond the feathers there is a...
it is well with my soul.
Time 1:08pm.
To be in complete silence, yet surrounded by music. To be incased in a glass sphere so fragile it seemed to crack at the very hint of a noise, but at the same time caught in the middle of an orcestral symphony reaching the creshendo of its preformance.
I call it one mile.
A simple municipal park, with seemingly nothing in it, a pool too cold to swim in, and an open field,...

Day 04 - A habit that you wish you didn’t have.
hmm… its the night before i leave for chico and its coincidental that this prompt brings up a point thats been on my mind for quite a while. a bad habit i wish i didnt have is that i procrastinate. that is a terrible habit i picked up my senior year in high school… i was just smart enough to know what corners i could cut, but now that im in chico, i dont yet have a feel for how each...
i am happy.
what does it mean to be happy? i guess there are many definitions of the emotion we call happiness. will smith was in the pursuit of it! okok, bad attempt at humor…
anyways. tonight i am happy. (technically, this morning) i got to see some friends one last time before i left. yet, the time was spent laughing, not crying. it was spent having fun, not dreading what is yet to come. i think...
