Thoughts of a 20-Something Woman

On any given day, during any given class..I will not be paying attention to my teacher, but instead of chatting with my friends on FB...I'll be looking up song lyrics and quotes to describe my current state of life. Words are beautiful. Seriously. I never knew how much words impacted me until recently. There are a few people in my life who just seem to know what to say and when to say it. And I love it.

My life is up...down....There doesn't really seem to be a constant and there doesn't seem to be a "middle." I'm either up...or I'm down. What a crazy life to live. Thankfully, God has blessed me with people who keep me sane. As crazy as my year has been, I've never felt m...

"Love's not a feeling Love's not convenient But I know love will change your life Love takes sacrifice Love cuts like a knife Sometimes love will make you cry Love's not easy But it's worth it Love is a hunger But love won't leave you empty See it's the language of the heart Love can steal your pride But love won't let you hide It takes everything you've got Love's not easy But it's worth it What you gonna do when the bottom falls out And you're left with nothing but your fear and your doubt to hold to Who will hold you?
