Il était une fois

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

[annieeebui]

Praying for you.

I can’t muster up the nerve to be angry at you despite how painful that encounter was. I could give you a list of reasons to justify the way I reacted, but none of it seems to matter. I really did care. I wish you knew that. I just pray that, at the very least, you’ll find peace with this situation because nobody deserves to have to go through this. 

[annieeebui]

It takes a certain type of person to remain perserverent in the face of constant rejection.

I’m working on it.

[annieeebui]

I can’t imagine anyone whose intentions are as malicious as yours.

[annieeebui]

I AM FINALLY DONE WITH SECONDARIES!

I missed Halloween this year And I’m a little sick of writing about myself But now it’s over And the wait continues

[annieeebui]

The wait is the worst part.

Update: 2/2!

Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but we rather have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.

Aristotle (via psych-facts)

[annieeebui]

HI YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL, I HOPE YOU HAVE A MOST EXCELLENT DAY.

Thanks! That’s sweet of you.

[annieeebui]

That's the last time I'm even going to try.

[annieeebui]

It makes me wonder what’s running through your mind.

[annieeebui]

You'll never get it.

Everything is going to fall apart because of you.

[annieeebui]

I just had a burst of inspiration and I’m so relieved that this is starting to come together, in spite of the rough start. 

[annieeebui]

I wish that my efforts spoke for themselves

All I’ve been doing for the past two hours was watch the endless blinking of a single text cursor on an empty word document as my mind runs rapidly, trying to pinpoint the events that have influenced my decision to pursue this goal. But I am clearly getting nowhere.

[annieeebui]

If it couldn’t be me, then I’m so glad that it’s you.

They took me out to dinner at Applebee’s the night that I received the news.

I remember receiving your hopeful text, asking me about the results.

“I guess God has different plans for me,” I responded to you.

Years have passed and I could be bitter and continue to question why everything I did wasn’t enough, but I realize now that it was because I had poor intentions.

I was striving for overexertion, sympathy, and recognition instead of personal fulfillment. I was searching for a means to escape my problems without considering the long term consequences.

Years have passed and I’m going to try again. This time, with a better goal in mind and actual progress to prove that.

[annieeebui]

Grateful

I have never had an opportunity directly handed to me like that before. I’m reluctant to turn away from it, but I know it’s the right thing to do. I would be walking into it for all the wrong reasons if I had said yes.
