You live, you learn

Life, is a beautiful thing. All the mysteries make it that much more beautiful at times. I can't help but wonder to myself what my future holds. I pray that I can make the right choices, that I can show people honesty and love and that hate will be my last option. In a world where people like to lie, manipulate, and hurt others, I find myself confused. It can be hard to tell what is real and what is fake, especially since lies can be so profound and well put together. I just want to love and be loved, live and let others live, seek out the good and let the good find me as well. Sometimes I feel weak, attacked. But there are so many beautiful things that God has blessed me with. If I count the good against the bad, the good always wins. For that, I am so grateful. Nothing can take away the security that I have in my God, in my family, and in my closest friends. Nothing can take away my strong heart and my willingness to preserver through life's struggles. I've loved and I've lost, but mostly I've gained everything I really need and lost everything that I thought I wanted. Thank God for knowing what I really needing and for putting those things in my life.

Goodnight world,

Yours Truly,
Charissa

I thought I wouldn't ever find you
But here you are

I didn't believe that a soul like yours could exist
But here it is

Changing my life

Making me a better version of myself

It's real
For the first time

And hopefully
For the last

♥

Dear World,
Thanks for nothing. Thanks for being a huge ass bitch and making me realize exactly how much I need God in my life. When I follow your ways, nothing good ever happens and I just go running to my heavenly father, crying, and asking him to take away all the hurt you cause me. I will no longer stand for being a follower. God and I will make a new path. We've already begun.

Yours Truly,
Charissa
