Like Water |
Sometimes I need words, I need pictures, I need beauty to capture thoughts that won't materialize. It's almost elemental, necessary, sustaining- just like water. This is a shoutout to all the beauty/brightness/ sadness/pain/redemption I find when I’m looking for it. And sometimes when I’m not. All images and quotes belong to their respective owners. xo Vix |
Hold on to the Good.
Hold onto the good- it’s a phrase I’ve been repeating to myself a lot recently. I’ve been feeling like I’ve lost my equilibrium, quite unsure of everything. It’s amazing how everything ebbs and flows, and before you know it, everything feels uncertain. I’ve been thinking a lot about dreams lately; where I want to be, what I want to do, who I want to do it with, and I must say, when these dreams seem particularly far away, they can feel more like nightmares. When the days get colder and the year starts waning, I always get to feeling introspective, and I wonder how I find myself essentially where I was a year ago. Didn’t I change for the better? What am I doing wrong? But at 22-about-to-turn-23 I have time. Time to make adjustments and time to become more. And on a day like today, I’m willing to fight for what I want next year to look like. William James once said “To change one’s life; start immediately, do it flamboyantly.” But this internal examination is tiring. It feels like square one. It feels a bit like failure.
So I’m trying to hold on to the good. The Remedy is waiting like a father to usher me into 2012, and I’ll hold His hand, even when I cannot see.
Amen.
