build me
      a
city
      out of cardboard
boxes
        and
strings
and shadowy
             daydreams.
chisel
your thoughts
                     into
a
           stone-grey sky. fill
the
clouds with
                  words
and
                  deep thoughts and
plans.
           then
make me
             a
                                                       balloon
and let me
                                                                  go.

random thoughts of the day.

It's gonna take a long time to work through things.

It's gonna hurt sometimes.

Some days will be harder.

It's ok to be broken.

I'm not crazy.

I'm not the only one who feels like this.

Not everything is black and white.

Sometimes you have to say no.

It's ok to say no.

It's ok to treat yourself nice.

It's ok to take a break.

Nobody has it all figured out.

Nobody has all of the answers.

Boundaries are good and healthy.

Family can be an idol.

It's ok to spend money on yourself.

It's ok to look nice.

Love those who drive you crazy.

Jesus is true.

Drama is inevitable. But don't create it.

Being anxious doesn't fix or help anything.

It's not my job to help everyone.

I need to be more forgiving.

I need to learn the weight of forgiveness.

I need to know who Jesus is.

At the end of the day, what I do and say and who I am is between me and Jesus.
