I want to be found
Leaves were starting to dwindle into a yellow brown color and the reminiscence of summer began to unravel in my memories. As the leaves fell to the ground and the air became so cold I had to double wrap myself in my knitted light blue blanket. It was the only extremely soft and warm blanket I had for fall. Although fall had begun. I can still smell the sunscreen on my face melting into my skin. I could see the stage I was on, dreaming of the actress I could become.

The Art of Letting Go of Who I Was
It wasn’t so simple until time took its course. The more trapped in my past I became the more I didn’t move. The mind is an inexplicable place. However, I think now that I’ve wrapped my mind into a psychotic state, I’ve realized that it was all because I relied on it too much. How did I end up here and ruin the very thing that I wanted? I thought. You see when your trapped in fear you create more fear. When you don’t move and push yourself past your own limits and let self doubt and fear take its course you become the very thing you don’t want to be.

The light within
I never understood the point of good and evil, or why one exist with the other. It was something I started to question when I was a young kid. Why were people so mean to me? Why were they trying to control me? Who is Jesus? Why do we need to believe in him?

Is God a man?
Although my faith has been renowned. I still believe that many of us can follow the teachings of Christ and his righteousness. Doesn’t mean that my righteousness views are going to be the same as everyone else’s. We are all different and view things differently. It doesn’t make sense to me that if a god is loving and so vast in his creation that he would create each of us the with the same perspective. So, although I believe we should have high value and be righteous towards god. Being one that follows the same views as another is not agreeable to me. If one church is saying the Bible says we are all sinners. You must know that. I think deep down it may be true for that era of time that they were all sinners. They did very wrong things apart from gods righteousness. I think we can all agree though that most people make mistakes and don’t know god and who god really is to us. That is the most important questions because god is so vast and moving and shows up in different ways. It’s important to recognize that he may not be the same god as another. Just because we don’t agree that my god and your god are the same doesn’t mean we are wrong and should go to hell for it. Why people get so mixed in this idea is beyond me and not sustainable for human lives and culture. One thing does remain and brings us in unity as the ideology that there is a god of creation.

To Charlie
Your death was something that wasn’t seen coming. The way your life was taken for boldly standing for what you believed in had seared a fear in myself at first. A fear that I didn’t want to face. A fear of speaking up and living boldly for Christ, as you did.

A Kiss Is Worth a Thousand Words
I don’t know how I got here, I thought. I thought I’d be happy after. Instead I was trembling with questions. On a hot summer night is when I met my first boyfriend. I wanted to break free from my fears. So, I joined a theater club at my school. We went on field trips to many theaters, one in particular I remember was the Chinese theater in Los Angeles. I didn’t know anyone. I had moved away from all of my friends that I had the courage to get to know. It was mid-July and I was horrible at making new friends. I was horrible at talking. I grew up a very quiet kid, living in my head rent free. I was made fun of a lot. I didn’t take bullying well. I wouldn’t cry but I would get very angry. I would say I developed a passive aggressive anger toward anyone who called me a name. Which was why I had little to no friends. I developed a social anxiety when I got older. However, boys seemed to like me for how cute I was.

A story of faith
It wasn’t something I’d ever thought I needed to push me towards god. But somehow god knew it was. In the beginning I wanted to die, I wanted to let it all go. I wanted to give up. It opened my eyes to who I truly was though. To the discomfort of the ultimate failures, sins, and flaw I had that I didn’t think I did.
