because You make beautiful things out of dust

because He lives, I can face tomorrow / because He lives, all fear is gone / because I know He holds the future / and life is worth the living, because He lives

1 suddenly remembered mr tan telling me on the bus to suzhou, that i should read catch-22 because i might like it. hahahahaha

2 emma critical essay ugh i love you jane austen but ugh

3 realized my pivotal place of comfort is being in the company of the whole world's stories

4 wish i could be a good asian kid and excel at math.

there is deep water faith in the shallow end. even when it is already in the stars, that the seas are empty and the night hollow, you're so ridiculous and you know it, but you're still so hopeful and there's some sad part of you that loves it.

nymd's schedule is pretty happening from now till july, superrrr excited for xchange and foa (!!) and sdt but it also scares me that we can see the end of it.

if the grey comes back, think happy thoughts, like this morning's good breakfast, God's love, great friends, keep all the music in this head la la la

lots of words but i'll go do my work now :)
