sometimes you just need a soapbox

i've taken a blogging hiatus the last few days because the mouse-y thing and clicker on my laptop quit working. just quit. the geeksquad says i could've just jarred it from setting it down too hard or something. whatever. so im using a lovely external mouse. oh wait... that would be my internal mouse that's messed up? probably. anyway i should, clearly be wayyy more tech savvy in this generation i've grown up in.

sometimes i just take life as it comes. i say it's all going to be okay. i laugh. i move forward. i say that life's all about skinned knees, broken hearts and growing into something better than you ever imagined. i say that if it's meant to be it'll all work out in the end. i listen to friends say the same things. it'll work out. things will start looking up. just trust god and be patient. just apply for more jobs. oh, everything's going to be okay. 

i know i'm right and they're right, too. i believe it wholeheartedly. but sometimes it's so hard to see.

and sometimes?

... you just need a friend who'll sit there and listen till you get it all out

... actually, it's ALWAYS better to say SOMETHING rather than saying nothing at all

... you just want to be heard and understood

... you have to be honest that you're angry and frustrated with God

... life just doesn't make sense

... sometimes you admit that no one listens/makes you feel better quite like that one person

... fairytales are just tales

... laughter {and A LOT of it} is exactly what you need

... you have to let go. whatever it is, let it go

... you need to just shut up and submit another job application.

... you're late for work

... remembering what you've got overshadows what's missing

... keeping on keeping on is ALL there is to do
