Vocation

My vocation is found where my passion and the World’s greatest need embrace.

Ask yourself “what’s my passion?”

What pierces your heart?

What fires you up?

What gets you out of your head?
…and into the heart?

What gifts have I received?

How can I become a gift?

This is how I feel about certain people.

&sometimes, the best feeling ever is not feeling anything at all; to be numb to everything and everyone.

I hope you read your reblogs, dear Faith.

This one is for you…

“To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable.”

-C.S. Lewis

I know the “comfort” of numbness. It is easier to bear in this world where it seems that half the things we see in a day are triggers and the other half are some other sort of trial. I understand what you mean, I don’t think it is best.

Don’t be numb. When you’re numb, you can’t feel the good things.

Wishing you all things good and beautiful. <3

The world is indeed full of peril and in it there are many dark places. But still there is much that is fair. And though in all lands, love is now mingled with grief, it still grows, perhaps, the greater.

J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings

He’s not perfect. You aren’t either, and the two of you will never be perfect. But if he can make you laugh at least once, causes you to think twice, and if he admits to being human and making mistakes, hold onto him and give him the most you can. He isn’t going to quote poetry, he’s not thinking about you every moment, but he will give you a part of him that he knows you could break. Don’t hurt him, don’t change him, and don’t expect for more than he can give. Don’t analyze. Smile when he makes you happy, yell when he makes you mad, and miss him when he’s not there. Love hard when there is love to be had. Because perfect guys don’t exist, but there’s always one guy that is perfect for you.

Bob Marley

If you can’t fly then run, if you can’t run then walk, if you can’t walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.

MLK

Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul
And sings the tune without the words
And never stops at all.

Emily Dickinson

I can’t go back to yesterday because I was a different person then.
