This is weird. I haven't done this since last summer. It's finals week and I'm bored because I don't have any finals this semester so I have literally nothing to do with my life right now.
Because of said boredom I figured I'd give this a shot again.
Right now: I'm watching tangled while I should be cleaning my room. story of my life.
Reading: I just started the Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini. I've heard its really good but Andrew just told me it was intense tonight after we got home from prayer hour. So we'll see.
Songs: I'm really into Texas Country right now.. like Sean Mcconnell and the new Josh Abbott cd that just came out. all good things.
Scripture: I'm not going to lie.. I've been super lax with my reading this semester. not good.
Quote: "On the darkest nights, the brightest stars shine"
My Life: Sometimes I feel like my best friends are books. No, really.
I mean they have all the qualities you would want a friend to have. They're always there for you when you need them, but they're fine on their own too. They understand your problems and usually say something profound and just what you need to hear. They don't nag you or make you feel bad about yourself. Reading a book is like making all new friends. You get introduced to the deepest part of the characters life and really feel like you're going through it with them. Going back and re- reading them (like I do literally all the time) is like coming back for a little visit. You get new things from books every time you pick one up.. They just know you so well and their wisdom can be applied to every situation. They never hang out with the other books on the shelf without you.. you're always invited to the party that is reading. You're never abandoned by the book.. they always wait patiently for you to visit again and are so eager to catch you up on what you've missed out on. No matter how busy you are or how rough your life is going.. they always know how to best take your mind off of it.
SO.. I may not have the most actual friends or be the best at making them.. but I sure know how to read. And that's basically the same thing..
I love to read and I'm unashamed. It's the little things in this crazy life that mean the most.
