What you need ironically will turn out what you want to be....

About Me

Quick about me...I'm 25 and beginning to feel like more of an adult. I don't have all of the answers and most of the time I'm glad I don't. Life hasn't turned out to be anything like I planned, and for that I'm grateful. I would much rather let God take me where He wants me than to mess it all up on my own. I serve a God who loves me unconditionally and I have no idea why He does. I fail Him on a daily basis, but I have a clean slate each day. Judgemental people frustrate me. I'm not at all who I was 5 years ago or even a year ago, so don't be too disappointed in me. I believe in questioning everything...that's the best way to learn. I'm neither Democrat nor Republican. I have wonderful friends and family, but sometimes I feel very alone. I can't wait to be a mother. I work as a nanny, but I can't wait to get into the counseling world. I live in Hermitage, Tennesse (right outside of Nashville) and I love my apartment. Anything else, feel free to ask. This layout was handmade with love by the folks at My space or yours? Go get one!

I feel empty tonight like I have for a while now. Months. Maybe years. It’s an emptiness that I can’t fully explain and maybe I don’t want to. I’m afraid of what will happen if...

Honesty...

It really is a great thing. Maybe we should all try it today. It's a whole lot better than just trying to "protect" someones feelings. Trust me.   Good night to all!
