Today I wondered why my eyelashes aren’t thick enough and why my feet aren’t small enough. Then it hit me. Why do we take these insignificant things like millimeters on lashes and shoeboxes and then try to fit ourselves into those stupid molds? Why do I take the beauty that is me, and measure it up to a shoe size? A length of hair on my eyes? Am I not the more wonderful creation, far more great than those stupid things? Why do we take ourselves and desecrate ourselves daily? Pushing ourselves into cubicles because we think we are supposed to fit into them? Are we ice cubes? And suddenly I just don’t understand the inadequacies anymore! Because they’re not even inadequacies, at all! I will laugh and be beautiful.

i saw bon iver in LA the other night. everyone in the audience was so quiet while he played. we all just sat & experienced it together in silence. there was screaming in the breaks and laughter at his jokes and humming to the songs we loved, but that was it. it was perfect. i sat in my seat next to my sister & felt more than i have in ages. bon iver's music takes me back to the heaviest and lightest and most memorable moments in the past five years. i started listening to him when i was 18 and confused and about to graduate high school. now, at (almost) 22, im about to graduate college and i'm confused in different ways. but today, i'm proud of who i am. i'm proud of the ways i've changed since i heard bon iver for the first time all those years ago. his new album (which you need to listen to) will be the soundtrack to my last year of school. i wouldn't want it any other way.

Soon, when all is well, you’re going to look back on this period of your life and be glad that you never gave up.

“Lust is a poor, weak, whimpering, whispering thing compared with that richness and energy of desire which will arise when lust has been killed.

When that pernicious wound pops up yet again in your heart, pay attention: God wants to heal you on an even deeper level than last time. We sometimes think that one encounter with God’s love will heal us completely. But our wounds run deeper than we know, and God is patient.
