strength in weakness

2 Corinthians 12:9-10

[ohstevenellis]

Not only am I being torn from different sides on how to love you, but I also hear others situations and I lose hope. I lose sight of ever being able to being your friend. Of being your brother. Im lost. Youre a part of me. My flesh and blood. How can I love you when I have people in each ear telling me you are wrong, you are broken, you cant be fixed and you will learn your lesson. My heart breaks every time I think not everyone will understand. That they will cast the first stone without hesitation. That they will burn you at the stake. Push you away and call you an outsider. I was an outsider it only made me grow bitter and hate everything. I do not want that for you. I have loved you. You are mine. You are my flesh and blood. I can not betray that. I will love you.

But I still hear them. scratching. screaming in my ears. pulling me away.

It's just hard sometimes. I get so distracted. I forget. I'm sorry.

I think one of my favorite feelings is laughing with someone and realizing half way through how much you enjoy them and their existence.

Iris swims quietly beside me Oh the weeds and larger leaves sway And stretch themselves beneath Blue dragonflies dart to and fro I tie my life to your balloon and let it go

"Sorrow is better than laughter, for by sadness of face the heart is made glad." Ecclesiastes 7:3 Yo, this is too real.

Jesus: You are the salt of the earth-

Me: *is salty*

Jesus: No not like that

5 AM thoughts

There's an idea of wanting what someone else has that I always get stuck on. I want it but at the same time I know I don't. I only want it cuz I don't have it. I hate seeing the human nature in me bring those thoughts up. I don't want to want something just cuz I don't have it. That's ugly, but I think it shows a part of my character that I guess I just constantly need to work on. My insecurity. I also hate waking up at an hour like this and not be able to fall asleep cuz of my brain. Alright, goodnight.

When anger and depression knock on the door, I’ll let joy answer it. She really kicks their butts.
