My writing is my escape. I don't entirely understand my own emotions and identity, so I don't expect others to entirely understand them either. However through writing I can work towards explaining myself, to others, and most importantly to myself. Often people will jump to conclusions and often I find myself wishing they'd give each other a chance to explain themselves. Now I have made myself that chance by creating this blog in which I will simply post assorted pieces of my works of writing. Some will be creative, others autobiographical, some may even be prophetic, all with display assorted perspectives that I have experienced throughout my life. Some of these perspectives I have discarded for other ones, or changed to create a more open minded worldview. My hope with this blog is to slowly build myself an identity by the feelings I felt while writing the pieces, and hope to convey to the people I share them with.

Fall, My Friends, and SOAR!


             You’re running.  Running from what, you don’t know.  It feels like you are hardly moving, and that you aren’t running fast enough. There's sweat running down into your eyes and your clothes are plastered to your skin.  You're breathing harder, and harder.  Your heart is pounding and it skips everytime you look over your shoulder and think you see a phantom in the shadows, and then, suddenly, you are falling, and you wake up.  That feeling you get when you fall and than wake up? That is what I’ve been feeling every day for a very long time. 
            Every now and then I think about things and I get breathless and tense, as if I reaching for something, anything to hold onto.  I just don’t want to hit the ground.  The things I worry about the most are out of my control.  If I stopped worrying I wouldn’t have to feel that way. 
            I think it is when we cease to worry, and when we cease to surrender to fear, that we can embrace the free fall. In embracing the free fall, that is when we learn to fly. So, my friends, embrace life, and soar…

"but those who hope in the LORD 
will renew their strength. 
They will soar on wings like eagles;
 they will run and not grow weary, 
they will walk and not be faint."

                                             ~Isaiah 40:31
