For Anyone Who Feels Alone In An Out-Of-Control World

No one said it would be easy
But it can be done.
In a world where just chaos and guns
Seem to shine in the news more than the morning sun
Blazing a trail of hurt and pain
Leading to more sadness and more disdain

We cry out; where are you God
Why did you leave me? Did you ever shed a tear?
But he's looking us in the eyes, and he says,
I'm right here.
Stop child, stop your tears.
I died for you, so cast away your fears.

No one said it would be easy
But it can be done.
You see God's love is as consistent as the morning sun will come.
Never skipping a day, never expressing regret,
Never complaining that some people tend to forget how unasked it is.
To light up the Earth. Day after day, and even when it goes away
And the moon and the stars take over the sky
'Cuz even on a cloudy day they still shine.
No- you can't see them, so it's easy to forget
But hold onto his promise.
It's not over, not yet.

But your heart beats, it races and it flies,
Out of your chest and into the sky
Filled with black holes ready to swallow
Your hopes and beliefs and all that follows
Slow down.
Take a breath.
As you rest the darkness begins to fester and caress all that you fear
But remember. He's looking us in the eyes, and he says,
I'm right here.

Do you see the stars in the sky? They're beautiful right?
I made them with the same hands I made your eyes.
Do you see the moon hanging perfectly tonight?
I made it with the same hands that created that bump on your nose you do not like.
But believe me, it's beautiful right?
Do you see this whole Earth?
Every detail precise one of my finest works,
The only thing that could compare is each stand of your individual hair,
And every curve and line I put on your body.
These hands do not make mistakes.
You forget that I'm perfect, and that you are fearfully and wonderfully made.

No one said it would be easy,
But it can be done.
So trust in me child, this battle can be won.
Hold fast to me, hold tight with care.
Let go and try to survive that's a dare.
I can make you invincible.
Nothing you touch, nothing thrown your way will be able to puncture
The armor I will wrap around you my dear.
I'm looking at you, and I'm telling you,
I'm right here.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
