An adventure

One month ago if you'd have asked me how I was and I said good, I would have been lying. I was trapped in a trench of self pity and melancholy. And frankly, I didn't want out. I was all for wallowing. But no more...

Here's to embracing the adventure known as Life.

Here's to being the best version of myself.

Here's to changing the world one smile and kind word at a time.

Always,
L.A. 

How about you guys? Anything weighing on your heart lately? How are you going to change the world?

"You’ll need coffee shops and sunsets and road trips. Airplanes and passports and new songs and old songs, but people more than anything else. You will need other people and you will need to be that other person to someone else, a living breathing screaming invitation to believe better things."
— Jamie Tworkowski 

Typed up something very real and raw and just honest tonight. What started out as an attempt to take some advice from Hemingway and write something that was true, molted into me sitting at my computer until the wee hours of the morning writing about an ache. It's not done, but it's a start.

I've wanted to write this for a long time, but have never been quite sure how to put it into words.

Maybe someday I'll share it with you.

Maybe someday I'll share it with the world.

Always,
L.A.

“It would seem that Our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased.” 
― C.S. Lewis, The Weight of Glory, and Other Addresses


This is definitely one of my all time favorite quotes...Whatever I dream of or plan for, it is nothing in comparison to what He has in mind for me.

A Disclaimer:

I reserve the right to read chick-lit no matter how "un-sophisticated" it may be. To spend money on books I may never read instead of the designer clothes. To make myself entirely too sleep deprived just for the sake of finishing a good book. & To never once apologize for any of it.

Always,
me

"There is still time for endurance, time for patience, time for healing, time for change. Have you slipped? Rise up. Have you sinned? Cease. Do not stand among sinners, but leap aside."

- St. Basil

This little piece of the world wide web that I've claimed as mine has become a place for me to save quotes I come across...If they inspire you, wonderful. If they don't, take no offense to my post and have a wonderful day anyway.
Always,
L.A.

"You like someone who can’t like you back because unrequited love can be survived in a way that once-requited love cannot."
