"The most painful thing is losing yourself in the process of loving someone too much, and forgetting that you are special too."
Ernest Hemingway (via onlinecounsellingcollege)

It’s amazing how much a smile can hide. <Peep the tan line tho 🌞🌀>

"God,
why is the sky blue?
I don’t want some scientific answer,
but why you chose it to be blue,
and the water, too.
Is it the same reason facebook’s main color is blue?
When Jesus came down, did he die knowing one day that people would be making statements on the internet about how they think the world should be,
or what kind of slushee they are having from target?
What’s your favorite color?
Does it hurt you more when I lie, or when I forget to love?
Will I ever fall in love?
How can I make all the suffering end?
Is saying I love you, even enough?
Who doesn’t feel loved, who is the one person who needs love more than anyone?
Can I go to them?
Why do parents leave?
Why do people hate?
Will I ever get married?
Why do marshmallows have gelatin in them?
Would you be with the picketers or would you be the one in the homes, loving people, having dinner with them?
Would you be telling me I was wrong, or would you be hugging me?
What does it look like to really and truly love?
Do you really hear us all when we talk to you?
How do you keep all the voices in order?
Do I really look like what the mirror shows me?
How did you feel about The Office finale?
Do you ever cry?
Do you weep when I degrade myself?
Do you love yourself?
Do you ever get self conscious or anxious about anything?
Did Jesus have acne?
Tell me, God, will everyone be with you in heaven?
Why does popcorn ceiling exist?
Is there a wrong way to love?
Why can’t I tell everyone in the world that I love them?
Why are plane tickets so expensive?
Are you listening?
How much do you love the hurting people?
What happened to the world, when did it become so gray?"
Tell me, God, how much does love mean? Is it really everything? (via amandaspoetry)

"Walk, don’t run.
That’s it.
Walk, don’t run.
Slow down, breathe deeply, and open your eyes because there’s a whole world right here within this one. The bush doesn’t suddenly catch on fire, it’s been burning the whole time. Moses is simply moving slowly enough to see it. And when he does, he takes off his sandals. Not because the ground has suddenly become holy, but because he’s just now becoming aware that the ground has been holy the whole time.
Efficiency is not God’s highest goal for your life,
neither is busyness,
or how many things you can get done in one day,
or speed,
or even success.
But walking-
which leads to seeing-
now that’s something.
That’s the invitation for every one of us today and every day, in every conversation, interaction, event, and moment: to walk, not run. And in doing so, to see a whole world right here within this one."
Rob Bell (via jspark3000)

"You know, the Bible doesn’t teach us to be defensive in relationships. It doesn’t tell us to protect your heart and be extra cautious ‘cause you don’t know who’s going to betray you, who’s going to leave you, no it doesn’t say anything like that, it just says love. And it says love always trusts. And it always tells us to forgive; forgive means they’re going to wrong you first and then you’re gonna forgive. And then go back up and trust again. That’s what the Bible says about our relationships. It never says, ‘No, close your heart ‘cause you’re going to get hurt. Be protective. Protect your own heart.’ No, it never says that. It says, ’Get hurt, I will heal you, I’ll restore things, reconciliation is for you, and then get back up and love again. Trust again. Go belong to that group again.’ That’s how the word of God teaches us."
Myunghwa Choi, ”Loneliness Unmasked” sermon (via cierrafrances)
