Let it out

 We live in a world that constantly tells us to be strong, and be your own hero. They tell us that to cry is weakness, so we tilt up our chin and fight the emotions inside of us. It's hard to keep it all in though. If anyone is like me, I tend to bottle things up again and again, until I feel like I'm about to explode. And when I feel like that, I want to run far away into the middle of nowhere and just let out a really good scream. It's easy to feel like being strong is not showing emotion, but rather, it's just the opposite. It takes courage to pull away my brave face, and let someone else see me for who I really am. I'm not perfect, I don't have it all together, and I can't do this on my own. And I am so thankful that I don't have to do it alone, for I have a Savior who has promised to NEVER leave me, even in the storms of life. It's okay to cry; He hears us, and understands our pain. Just let it out. It's far better than hiding away behind our mask, and locking everything away.

Second leads and ramen

Ahhhh what a weekend. So over this weekend I watched my first full Korean drama with some of my best friends! I've seen bits and pieces of dramas before, but never one the whole way through. It was too incredibly adorable. But somehow, I always fall for the second guy lead. Always! It doesn't matter what you say about it, or even if I know the second lead won't get the girl, I still root for him up until the very end. I don't know why I do that, I just always have. Ah well, I guess if I'm going to keep this drama watching up, than I'll have to get used to it. (Though you know I'll be cheering for the second lead the whole time I'm watching it ;) To finish off our marathon, we devoured two pot fulls of delicious tasting ramen, chopsticks and all. Mmmm mmm delicious. I think I could get used to eating lots of ramen....

Relaxing evenings

There's something wonderful about coming home after a long day of classes and work, and just sitting down. Evenings are when I kind of like to rewind and settle down, and just not have to be on my feet. So I'll curl up with a big cup of coffee and edit photos, chat with friends, sketch a bit, discovering new music, and than maybe even writing new ideas for my stories and such. Relief is also taking out dry contacts after they've been in since 5:45am. Hence the reason I'd love to buy myself some glasses on of these days. Aren't these super cute??
