about me

So as I think more and more of family I realize that I haven't ever really wrote a ton about my past or my quirky nature. So I justify the following because it might fill in blanks some of you have regarding me. But mostly... it's because Molly did it :)

10 years ago i was: playing video games and missing real friends I'd left in Royal City
5 years ago i was: playing video games and wondering if I'd ever actually had real friends
1 year ago i was: finally beginning to transition completely to real friends from video games
yesterday i was: stressing about more school work and other stuff than I've ever had before
tomorrow i will: finally finish this hellacious week and prepare for a much needed Sabbath

judging and condemning others and myself instead of accepting and sharing love and grace
