don't lose your faith

It’s Only Life - Kate Voegele

Tears are forming in your eyes,
a storm is warning in the skies,
the end of the world it seems,
you bend down and you fall on your knees,
well get back on your feet, yeah,

Don’t look away, don’t run away,
baby it’s only life,
don’t lose your faith, don’t run away,
baby it’s only life.

You were always playing hard,
never could let down your guard,
you can’t win, if you never give in,
to that voice within, saying pick up your chin,
baby let go of it, yeah,

Don’t look away, don’t run away,
baby, it’s only life.
don’t lose your faith, don’t run away,
baby it’s only life.

Take your hesitance, and your self defense,
leave them behind, it’s only life,
don’t be so afraid of facing every day,
just take your time, it’s only life,
i’ll be your stepping stone, don’t be so alone,
just hold on tight, it’s only life,
oh yeah… oh

Don’t look away, don’t run away,
baby it’s only life,
don’t lose your faith, don’t run away,
baby, it’s only life.

It’s only life, it’s only life,
don’t look away…

In search of a better layout. Too lazy to make my own.

I wish I was a writer but I wish I was a photographer too… and a number of other things I don’t actually do all that well.

Current Mood:

hopeful

This morning I’ve been looking though want ads. I am quickly discovering that I have no real idea what I can/want to do. No, that isn’t true. I want to do whatever I can, whatever I could do well for an employer. I also want a miracle. I want to be able to make enough to support myself to really help out my parents.

I had enrolled in school this fall and was excited to start that road to college… but life sometimes takes and unexpected turn. I had been…

Truly Lucky → myworld.journeytodaydreams.com

I woke up this morning wishing to be everything I’m not. A secret desire to be one of those vain, artificial girls with eyes only for themselves. Honest. It is a desire that comes and goes. Each time I find myself asking if being a good girl really pays. I have spent my life watching these girls win everything that passes through my hands. They live my dreams as I continue to be faithful to a life that looks so plain and valueless. They make me feel small and long to be as selfish and…

At times I wish I believed in the catholic faith so I could have been a nun. That, I have a feeling, I would have been very good at.

never feel stupid for caring → myworld.journeytodaydreams.com

I was telling mom last night how much of an ignorant fool I feel for ever caring and praying for Jeremy these past three months. This statement was instantly followed by her telling me we should never feel foolish or wrong for caring and praying for another no matter the outcome or the decisions they make. I see now how true that is. God asks us to pray and have love for one another, period. He even gives instruction to pray for those we dislike and have difficulty with. There is a healing in…

Today I desire to travel. It comes from a longing to take pictures. Hopefully, one day, I’ll go someplace truly breathtaking camera in hand.

What is Litost? → jakemohan.net

I wanted so much to have a link to a complete e-text of this short story but the best I found for you is a link to a quote (click title). I do, however, have a Miette Bedtime Story Podcast for you. It is an older recording so there is lots of irritating bleeps and noise but Miette has a way of drawing a listener in and very soon you will hear nothing but an amazing story about human nature.

It is labeled fiction but it is actually remarkably factual. As much as I want to say that this explains pretty much every man I have ever known, which it does, I also realize that each one of us, men/women, young/old have had at least a little litost well up inside us some point in our lives. So, though you be tempted to think of that intolerable ex or your drama queen best friend, take a moment to think about the litost you have lingering inside.
Best news of all, it is only 7 minutes long.
