Rush rush rush.
No one breaths or eats, just runs and rushes.

Sit, quiet, breath, rest, listen.
But instead you run, loud, choke, wrestle, and scream.

I saw a man today, dressed just right. Truly handsome. He walked in and caught my eye. I spent the better part of the night making up his story. He would be talented but humble. And strong but soft spoken. And heart warming, but have wit with a bite. He would love you and love his mother, too.

And the night wore on, and we caught eyes across the room and across the table and shared the same ground. And finally, we met. The moment rushed, I would meet him and he would remind me of new ways to be alive.

He opened his mouth and all hope was lost. Too high, and too sickly smooth. His name is Alex and he is playing the same games that all sweet talking men do. He was not a man, he was drunk on two glasses of champagne and called me sexy within two minutes of conversation. It is tragedy when we do not have men, honorable men.

We build them up in our minds with all the heroic splendor and virtuosity that God intended.. only to be let down with a hard thud. On the bright side, perhaps you see a fallen child the way His Father sees him. You and I should not forget, however, that it is not our responsibility to blossom such potential. haha

I love you, sister-- your heart for people, your passion for novels, and your love of God.. your thirst for knowledge and your search for truth and life in every circumstance. It's beautiful, bold, and distinct. As fiery as the hair on your head. ;]
