goodbye 20.

so its about 20- something minutes prior to my 21st & im kinda scared. I want to say "thank you 20 for everything youve given me- for the happy times, the sad times, the hard times & everything in between"

i hope that turning 21 helps me get through all the things i go through. I hope that turning 21 will turn out for the best- resulting in making my parents proud, making my friends proud and of course, My LORD proud.

LORD,
I thank for letting me live such an amazing life for the past 20 years. Thank you for breathing life into me and getting my through the hard times as well as celebrating with me for the happy times. You are such an inspiration to me & im so glad that YOU still hold me tight. I know that right now you're testing me through this difficult time, but i hope that you know that i will succeed and hope that you stay with me throughout this entire time. Thank you for being my shelter, my hope, my love, my heart & when i've gone astray, i thank you for letting me run back to you.

I hope that I have made you proud as your daughter, dad & mom. I hope that you two still love me as much as you did when i was born. I hope that my struggles and my heartaches have never affected you in ways that it has affected me. Yes mommy & daddy, i miss you two very much and i love you for all that youve done for me- including giving me the best possible life that you two can give me. I forgive you for all the times you've hurt me & forgive me for all the times ive hurt you.

chaotic

im turing 21 in leass than a week. Tell me why i've been falling apart then. This emester has been nothing but trial after rejection after heartache after disappointment & all i can say is, " please just help me get through this safely".

The semester has brought me through the inevitable breaku, which to let you know, i still terrorize myself for and still also blame myself for.

The rejection of the the internships- omg, i've never felt more inadequate for the rest of my life. My life is already been set and yet, i don't feel like i'm up to par with what i should be doing.

my grades have been all mediocre. I know i'll pass, but what ever happened to the succeeding april? the one who will study like no tomorrow because her life DOES DEPEND ON IT.

im going home next week on a attempt to regain myself. my 21st. the legal age. The one age that to be honest, i'm not looking forward to for the drinking. I don't even look 21, i still look like i'm in hs.

i feel so discombobulated & frustrated with myself. Yesterday, since i had a day off, i just walked around alot and thought alot to myself about what is going to happen to me if i don't get with it- but is there anytime left?

I believe in so many people to do their greatest because if they don't they'll never full enjoy life. Im still sitting here, blogging, trying to figure out how to unleash that greatest again.

ive danced, and sang and partied recently- but still, nothing means more to me than just doing well in this school, in my life.

im scared guys, i really am.

Dear Lord,
i want to go back to the heart of worship.

amen.

Wednesday, April 16

my birthday is coming up and all i want is for everything to go right.

amen.
