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.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

No Matter How Challenging School Gets, You Have To Put Your Health First — A Degree Won't Mean Anything If You're Dead

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.

Obsessive Thoughts Keep My Brain Stuck On A Loop And Me Stuck On My Couch

Sometimes my brain just starts turning on an idea and it doesn't want to stop.

I don't know if it is related to my anxiety, perfectionism or depression. I don't know why it happens. It's frustrating, it's painful and it stops me from functioning.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.
