Hello world.


“So, this is my life. And I want you to know that I am both happy and sad and I'm still trying to figure out how that could be.”
Stephen Chbosky,

Hello people of earth, and welcome to my blog.
  I have wanted to start something like this for a very long time, but so many things kept getting in the way. Mostly, my own fears that no one would ever read this, and if they did they would hate it and hate me. But I have come to realize that none of that matters, and I shouldn't let what other people think run my life. So, if you are reading this, I hope you understand that this is my blog, therefore most of what I write about will be about me and my life.
  I've finally decided to start this because I really need to express my own thoughts. I have a lot of them, and if I keep them bottled up inside I'm sure I'll burst. I like to write, and I figure writing about what I know best -my own life- will help chase away the sadness that has been dogging me lately.
  So. Since this is my first post I guess I'll tell you about myself, who I am and what I like and don't like.
  Firstly, I love Jesus. I love Him and everything He has done, for me and for other people. I am an undeserving sinner, caught up in the indescribable grace of God, and for that I am eternally grateful.
  Secondly, I am a flawed human being. I say that a lot to remind myself that I can never be perfect, which is hard for me to accept because I am a huge perfectionist/people pleaser. There are so many things I want to do but haven't done yet out of fear that I'll screw them up. Also, I overthink everything, thus creating problems that don't exist. I get lonely really easily and I have a hard time seeing beyond my own so-called problems.
  I'd also like to say that I have a very sarcastic -and hilarious, if I do say so myself- sense of humor. I love adventure, and someday I am going to travel the world and see all the places I've fallen in love with through photographs. I drink too much coffee and I'm really bad at motivating myself to workout. I love music, especially songs with lyrics that really speak to my soul. Currently I listen to a lot of Mumford and Sons, Ed Sheeran, Tenth Avenue North, and lots of others that would take me far too long to list. I love my wonderful -although slightly insane- friends, who have stuck with me no matter what. I honestly don't know where I would be today without them.
  So this is me. I have many hopes and dreams, but for right now I'm stuck here, trying to figure out who I really am and what God's plan is for my life. Since this post is a bit long, I think I'll end it now. And if you've actually read this whole thing, I hope you stick around until next time.
Bye for now,
--Laura

  1. I'd just like to say that the author of this blog is my sister, and I'm very proud of that fact. She's a pretty cool creature, and I love the women Christ is inspiring her to become.
