To Escape
Wall to wall
bed to hall
bathroom stall
I’ve seen it all.
Something new
feel so blue
what is true
I guess not you.
The Look
STEPHON kissed me in the spring,
Robin in the fall,
But Colin only looked at me
And never kissed at all.
Stephon’s kiss was lost in jest,
Robin’s lost in play,
But the kiss in Colin’s eyes
Haunts me night and day.
— Sara Teasdale
Play
I love when people remember things you told them forever ago
shows they really care.

Ironic since I am writing a paper about this book as we speak! … or at least I should be.

” —Lately I have come to a revelation of sorts. I have gone through the past year or so trying to come up with the plan for my future, trying to decide which college to attend and how to make that happen. Although I am not our school’s valedictorian, or even close to that, I have definitely worked very hard in high school and would consider myself a student at the top of my class. Whenever I think about my future I always think of my dream job, becoming as successful possible and going to a school where I can make all of that happen.
But recently, I’ve started to rethink that. Maybe success doesn’t always lead to happiness. Maybe the real success in my life will just be living in a way that glorifies and honors God. Although I’ve always dreamed of going to a college far away and creating a new life for myself, I think deep down I know that I really just want to attend a school where I can grow closer to the Lord. So from now on I really am going to be okay with wherever I end up… because I love the One who is leading.
