when words aren't enough
It is simply no good trying to keep a thrill: that is the very worst thing you can do. Let the thrill go - let it die away - go on through that period of death into the quieter interest and happiness that follow - and you will find you are living in a world of new thrills all the time.
When people tell me they don’t read, in my head, I’m always asking “How?!”
How can you not? How do you cope? How do you deal with all the shit life flings at you if you can’t hide away in a book?
Some will say “music,” and I used to say music, too, but there are times when a song can magnify all your bad feelings and make everything so much worse.
But never books. For a few hours, I can pick up a bundle of paper and just lose myself in a life that isn’t mine, a life that doesn’t have the trials and trivialities of my own (decidedly mundane, but at times, overwhelming) existence. Watching movies or television is entertaining, but it isn’t as all-consuming as drowning yourself in words and making them come to life in your head.
It’s an escape. I can check out of my life for a while and check into someone else’s. I can, through my imagination, be someone else and, if I’m lucky, actually have a clear resolution at the end. I can actually win.
Real life makes no such promises.
Real Women Don't Text Back: How Women Fuel the Man-Boy Problem
We’re strong. We aren’t settling. And then we lose sight of what’s important and start “hanging out with” that guy. If a man can’t call to ask you on a date, he’s certainly not going to man-up and put a ring on your finger.

MY LOVE STORY: waiting with a purpose (by Joy Eggerichs)
…if I am in relationship with Him, the Lord, then I can have patience knowing that if an earthly love story happens (and I am believing it will), my healthy relationship with God will be the thing that transforms my ability to receive and give healthy love to a man…
…Scripture talks about suffering. It gives me a heads-up that this will happen because of the brokenness that is in our world. So my desire is that my suffering or questions will not become an idol or obsession that keeps me from waiting well.Because I know this type of waiting that I have described will be part of married life, too.
While the seasons of my life will change, the character of God will not. And, as I said before, I believe in a God who wants to transform and redeem. A God who will transform and redeem, when I ask. In sorrow, in joy, in wonder, and in wait, He is at work on our stories of love.

Give Me One Reason (Feat. Jason Reeves)
Give me one reason to stay and I’ll stay
Give me one reason to leave and I’ll leave
I don’t need you to be me
I’ll be just fine being free
And I’ll be all right without you on my side
I’ll still sleep at night but don’t make me have to
- Give Me One Reason by Tyrone Wells feat. Jason Reeves
First time I heard of Tyrone Wells was in college and I feel bad now for not listening to him again for a while. I forgot how much I love him. :D This is my favorite song from his Metal & Wood EP. :)

Something I Said

I’m so confused, I must be losing it, this can’t be right
I never knew that you could choose to love someone then change your mind
So I just wonder why and was it something I said
You tell me once, you tell me twice, you tell me three times more
Tell me everything I want to hear and nothing more
Cause you know I am on your side no matter what you do
With every consequence it’s your defense on why it’s mine
And I could take it if I knew just why I waste my time with you
So I just have to find out
Was it something I said to you
Was it something we can’t work through
Was it something I made you do
Or was that something you
So let me ask you I just have to know that you’re not mine
Do you feel free, have what you need or do you still feel scared inside
Cause I am on the line and don’t know what to do
No you know I am on the line so
Was it something I said to you
Was it something we can’t work through
Was it something I made you do
Or was that something you
Sometimes I’m bold and brash; and sometimes I’m prone to crash
Sometimes I say too much; and sometimes it’s not enough
But I’ll never hold you back from something you want so bad
Just tell me so I’m not sad, was it something I said
Was it something I said to you
Was it something we can’t work through
Was it something I made you do
Or was that something you
