Glimpse

At the beginning of the year I made a resolution to write 500 words a day. Considering I have never been able to keep a consistent diary in my life, that was a huge goal. It lasted...for a while. My resolution has kind of gotten away from me in the last month, but I still write here and there. I thought I would share some random snippets from my "Five Hundred A Day."

"I find purpose on this earth in a lot of things, like family and dreams, but my overall purpose comes from knowing that the Lord loves me incredibly and is yearning for me to turn this experience into the most positive and meaningful thing I can..."

"The alarm clock goes off and it is the ugliest sound you have heard in your life. Ugly is no way to start off a day..."

"Needless to say, my legs feel like giant slabs of stone stuck to a very tender butt..."

"At the ripe age of 23, I have enough memories in my back pocket to fill an unoccupied hot tub and enough money in my wallet to fill a cereal bowl..."

"I wasn't born in Philadelphia, the Bronx, or Compton, but you could find me at the house, backyard, Lexington..." (HAha...rap moment)

"There are so many out there that get locked up with the key. Throwing a fist at their hater but only splintering their reflection. 'Let me out, let me out. This is not where I belong.' Maybe he can use the key now that the mirror is gone and the only view are the hands that did the deed. We are the only ones that can rightfully force a personal trap. Play victim to a world that doesn't listen to claims of 'You don't know me.' It doesn't matter if I'm surrounded by the surefire signs of jumpsuit living, I created the deadbolt deep within my mind..."

"Expectation’s a funny thing.
We set ourselves up to think,
Someday,
My way.
One day,
Today,
I’ll get what I see,
Do what they tell me,
And no doubt in my mind,
It’ll all turn out fine.
Yet, what we expect is
Not always what we get.
For the good, for the bad,
I have to live with what I have.
Where would expectation
Be without anticipation?
We get tired of the waiting,
But the years are only baiting.
Being reeled in tight,
Getting the news will only make it right.
Then those years will be worth it,
But all I hear is “Quick!”

Only a glimpse into the randomness that is my mind! I got inspired by Sarah Kay, today. Check out her TEDtalks appearance. So beautiful!
