Happy first post!

While I would usually use this post to kind of set up the background/foundation of what you will find on this blog, I'm not going to. Mostly because something else popped up while I was making lunch today and I want to write about that before I forget.

There's a whiteboard in my house that always has scribbling on it. Sometimes it hold quotes, notes, hashtags, or reminders. Today there's a quote that my baby housemate put on it last night in the middle of our math war. (Baby housemate is one of my two favs.)

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure..."

So I stood barefoot in my kitchen thinking about that quote while mixing mayonnaise into my tuna fish for lunch. I've always loved that quote. My mom used to quote it to me when I was younger, and as someone who has never had a healthy sense of self esteem, it spoke to me. I had power. I had light.
It's a happy thought, and I dig that. But as I'm making my lunch the thought and quote morph into something altogether and it made me stop and think.

What if never finding love isn't actually something I'm afraid of? What if my actual fear is what to do when it finds me?

*mind blown*

So that's where I'm at; reevaluating and weighing thoughts carefully and conversing with God, because at this point? It's all I can do.

Ah, what a life to lead...
