I have a question.

I have a question.

I have a question.

Why is the sky blue?

Why does the smell of fresh linen comfort you in ways other smells can't?

Why is God so good?

Why doesn't God talk back?

Why is depression a condition that people do not take seriously?

Why is anxiety so crippling sometimes?

Why am I still hung up on the fact that I didn't make someone happy?

Why am I basing my worth off of some few silly people who probably won't be in my life in the long run?

Why is being vulnerable and opening up one of the hardest things someone can do?

Why don't I have smaller legs?

Why was I born with a crooked smile? Everyone else's looks so nice.

Why did that one person have to go?

Why couldn't they have seen me graduate high school?

Why does God not answer our prayers sometimes even though we want it more than anything in the world?

So, so many questions, and most of them will go unanswered.

Struggling each day is hard. But that is why you take it day by day. Sometimes you're not always going to take a step forward. You might fall behind, or just be stagnant for a while. As long as you are trying to grow in God, and as a person then there is nothing wrong with how you get there.

"If one advances confidently in the direction of one's dreams, and endeavors to live the life which one has imagined, one will meet with a success unexpected in common house." - Henry David Thoreau

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?

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?
