My second oldest brother got my little brother One Direction fake nails as a gag gift and my little brother ended up giving them to me. I know i shouldn’t but i have this urge to wear them. i would never buy One Direction merch, but this is a chance i can’t pass up. 

i mean, how many chances in a lifetime am i going to have a guy name Niall glued to my nail? 

Once in a lifetime. 

In this moment of time i am content.

I do not need fancy things given to me nor did i even remotely make a Christmas wish list. i honestly hate making wish lists because i don’t feel it right to demand something i clearly do not deserve. All i ever wanted this Christmas Holiday was to spend time with all my siblings and enjoy each others company. For this, i am truly grateful for the time we’re spending together. Nothing is better than being with family, especially ones you never see. It’s been a long time since all of us have been together, this reunion is something we’ve been waiting for and it’s here. We’ll laugh, tell jokes and poke fun at each other, but at the end of the day we share that common bond of love. God could have not blessed me with a better family. 

Tomorrow is the long awaited family photo shoot! 

This is a big deal because we haven’t been together as an entire family for six years! You can bet your bottom dollar we’re making an afternoon filled with laughs & taking loads of candid photos. :3

Today i explored Downtown DC with my siblings, i took loads of pictures with my brother’s nice camera. it’s been such a long time since i’ve had the opportunity to take pictures with a decent camera, that I have forgotten how much i love to take pictures. Maybe i can become a photo journalist and travel the world while documenting it. that would be the greatest job in the world. 

Note to self: should really re-consider becoming a photographer. 

So i miss Charleston, and i should go back. i know there are many people who would agree with that statement. 

but then there’s Disneyland & my future to consider. 

i’m finally at a place where i’m not sad that i don’t live there anymore. that Charleston is not apart of my life anymore, i’ve accepted it. i’ve spent many months feeling sad i can’t be there and friends telling me how much they miss me, but life goes on.

i’m sorry if this post sounds random, but when someone you haven’t talked to in a very long time messages you out of no where all these feelings i buried come rushing back. Every single time.

I miss you Charleston & i promise i will return someday. 

this shirt was a size too big for me.

So i fixed it.
 

WAIT A MINUTE.

If I ascribe to Jeremy’s theory that Jake is Asian…

DOES THAT MEAN JAKE IS A YOUNG RUFIO?!

I AM NOT ALONE ON THIS ONE. 

My theory is that Jake is a younger Rufio and when Peter Pan left Neverland forever in the movie Hook. Jake/Rufio dubbed himself as the new leader of the lost boys. What led me to this was an episode played earlier today: it’s the one where Hook stole Jake’s sword that Peter Pan had given him. (probably the same sword in the movie Hook) Jake was pretty disappointed that Hook took the sword Peter had given Jake. 

Jake didn’t like how Hook was giving pirates a bad name, this led Jake not wanting to associate himself as a pirate anymore so he fashioned himself a new name: Rufio. 

Rufio has a grudge against Hook for screwing him over time & time again and wanted to kill Hook for himself. This eventually led to Jake/Rufio’s demise. 

You may be wondering how Jake grew up to be Rufio, because being in Neverland you “never grow up” so to speak. the thing is with Neverland, while it is a magical place, it’s mainly found in the minds of Children and it’s made up differently in each one, although still remaining true to one thing: it’s an Island offshore of Britain, only found by flight. 

With that said, Children can easily grow up there if they want to. Peter never wanted to grow up, therefore the Neverland made it so he didn’t have to. Neverland can be whatever you want it to be. 

Felt the need to bring this back, considering the fact that i’m watching Hook. 

Praise the Lamb!

I prayed this morning that God would show me His Word in the Bible because I didn’t want this to be my word, but His. And I came across 2 Corinthians 4, 5, and 6.

This makes everything so much easier. The pressure isn’t on me anymore, but on God.

Ahhhh. What a relief.

What stood out to me the most was 2 Corinthians 4:17 

“For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.”

The trouble & pain in this life isn’t forever. That when we persevere & listen to what God has in store for us we will be rewarded in Heaven for sticking by His side. He loves us unconditionally and only wants the best for us.

i had gotten a dreamcatcher the other day, but i never get nightmares ever. i just love how they look and buying one has been on my to-do list for 2012. 

Within the first night of it hanging over my bed, i had a bad dream. 

i dont know why, but today at work i was completely happy. No one was a bother & i was very excited to help people. I mean, i’m suppose to always be excited to help people, but today no one annoyed me.

 My conclusion: Chick-fil-a is the reason. 

i ate it before i started my shift and every sad thought went away. i’m thinking it’s because i was reminiscencing about a time long ago when i worked there and the taste of the food brought nostalgia of my time in Charleston. those days were stressful, but it was also the happiest time in my life. 

i hope to someday be my happy self again. not that i’m not unhappy now, but i’ve lost a great deal of who i used to be. i’m content in who i’m becoming, with each & everyday dawning. i’m learning more about who i am and what i want to do with my life. 

and to think i had this life revelation today all because of Chick-fil-a.
