“I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection.”

Day 4: How I think my life would change if I achieved my dream.
Hmm. I really don’t think my life would change that much. I don’t have a crazy dream. I want to get a degree in something I love and be in a career I love. I want to be a mother. I want to be a “on the side” photographer. I think I would just feel more fulfilled. Like I accomplished something. But I don’t think my life would be too much different.
Day 4: Bullet your whole day.

“To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable.”
—C.S. Lewis (via girlwithoutwings)

Day 3: What do you think your reason for being here is?
Wow, that’s intense. Well, overall, I do believe we were put on this Earth to bring glory to God and spread His word and love throughout the world. We are put here to praise and love Him with our lives.
More personally, I think I’m meant to be a mother. I sort of had a glimpse of motherhood rather early. My sister was a teenager when she had her first child so she and the baby lived with us, obviously, for a good 3 or 4 years. I won’t get into family drama, but let’s just say I had a big responsibility in this child’s life. I babysat almost everyday and I’ll go ahead and say helped raise him for his first years of life. While it was rough and I sometimes admittedly begrudged it, I loved every moment I spent taking care of that little boy and the little ones soon after him. I really found my niche I think with helping raise a child. I’m not saying I’m guaranteed to be an amazing mother and I am nervous about it, but I think it’s what I was put here to do, as 1950’s as that sounds.
Day 3: A book I love.
Oh, this is really tough because I LOVE to read. Whenever anyone asks for hobbies, mine are reading, shopping, and photography. Every time.
I really love the classics like Austin and the Bronte sisters, but I also like more contemporary stuff (Twilight…). It’s hard to pick a favorite, but one of my fave classics would be Sense and Sensibility. I really relate to having a sister and mother who are dramatic and sort of make everything all about them. I like the drama of the book and the romantic entanglements throughout. It’s simply a classic that I think everyone should read.
A more contemporary book that I really loved was the Kite Runner. Simply amazing. I’m pretty sure I cried and I never cry in books or movies. It’s so moving. If you haven’t read it, READ IT!!
