Well, where do I start? There is only one perfect, unconditional, constant thing in my life, and that is Jesus Christ. Even though I don't deserve it, He loves me. The thing that I appreciate the most is that not only does He love me, but He loves me despite my "self." My relationship with God is such a beautiful thing, because it's perfect (in a totally chaotic and imperfect way) amidst all of the things I do wrong, and all of the things I lack.
My favorite things to do in life are to be with people and have fun, spend time with the kids in my class and allow myself to be more like them, listen to music, cook (which I am pretty darn good at if I say so myself), beatboxing (okay, that's a lie), try and convince myself that I am brave enough to get a tattoo ( I want to soo bad, but I am such a wimp), and spend time in the Word. I love listening to sad music when I'm sad, it makes me think someone might be feeling the same way at the same time. I like to hear that old friends are doing well and that they are happy. Thinking about all of the places I'm going to see one day makes me anxious in a good way. I like to think that people are mostly good and what they need most is a smile from a stranger to bring that good out. I like waking up early to an alarm and then realizing that you forgot to turn it off the night before and that you don't have to get up because it's Saturday (it's the best feeling). I like baking at ridiculous hours (mainly between 2-5 am). I love remembering my dad and how he used to sit me down and give me little life talks, and how they never really made sense but his effort always left an impression. I like to picture a time when money won't determine how I live my life, and I won't let it cause me stress.Now putting all of the things that I dislike (or hate in some cases) on my page is a very dangerous thing, considering that there are certain people who know me well enough to figure out how to use these things to thier advantage. But I am also hoping that those people know me well enough to know that I am not someone you should piss off. So here they are: Clowns (needs no explanation), Moths (they are big and hairy), Mushrooms (c'mon it's a fungus, need I say more), Risk (that game is horribly boring), Whiskey (it burns), kids camp (just had a bad experience), being alone at night in my house (I swear that psychos know when I'm alone and try and get me...how else do you explain the gunshots at night?). There are other things in life that I dislike, but these are the major ones. Be very careful what you choose to do with this information.
