Update: Hey Tumblr, I am still alive. I am still in school. I changed my major to political science. Though I tire of discussing Trump in class literally every day I think I’m doing good in this major cus one of my profs wants to submit a paper of mine as part of a proposal for the creation of an undergraduate research journal. That must be a good thing right?

Thursday is my sister’s fifteenth birthday. I was never confident she would make it to fifteen. She almost didn’t, too many times. But she has and she is alive and that it something to praise God for.

That is all, friends. I’m still following you all occasionally. You never leave my heart.

Now for the first time, if I could choose to be anyone I wanted, I would choose to be myself. For the clay should not say to the potter, “Why did you make me this way?” God made me on purpose and I like being me. For the first time I like being me.
