Casimir Pulaski Day || Sufjan Stevens

Tuesday night at the Bible study
We lift our hands and pray over your body
But nothing ever happens


All the glory that the Lord has made
And the complications when I see His face
In the morning in the window

All the glory when He took our place
But He took my shoulders and He shook my face
And He takes and He takes and He takes

People

Dear World,

I feel as if many people are annoying me. I feel bad when I get upset at people, but it seems as if I'm noticing more things recently.

People running around bragging about how they got the highest grade in some AP class.
People running around being ignorant and childish.
People laughing at others when they get answers wrong.
People being way to touchy-feeling and overbearing.

I sound kind of like a prude.

Sincerely,

Me.

P.S I need to be more positive

Tattoos.


Dear world,

I have developed an usual obsession with tattoos. Really nice and artistic tattoos are just awesome. They just fill me with joy.

I told my mom that I wanted a tattoo.

She looked at me and shook her head and promptly said NO!

I'm almost an adult and will be able to get one anyway. (Oh adulthood). Don't worry I do not plan on getting my boyfriend's name tattooed on my chest.

Why you may ask?

Well...

1. I don't have a boyfriend
2. I think getting a boyfriend's name on your body is stupid...
3. Refer back to #1


Sincerely,

Me.

P.S Did you know Justin Bieber just got a crown tattoo on his chest? Weird.

where am I going?

Dear world,

I spend so much of my time at my little desk studying. For what? Tests. Only to forget the information a while later.

There is rarely ever a connection made.

 I cherish the classes where I get hands on experience. And at times I feel bad because it's so hard to focus.

Sincerely,
Me.

P.S I have to go over this 7 page study guide for a test today now :(

Barely love you too.

expectations.

Dear world,


Sometimes I feel like my expectations for people are too high. I can safely say that I am a nice person. I tend to put other people above me.

I remember one time, a girl needed a ride home. She lived 15 minutes away from me and I knew my mom was off of work. I promptly called my mom to tell her to come pick me up and asked if she could give the girl a ride as well.

My mom said Yes. So, I skipped practice so that my mom could pick us up.

Right when my mom comes, the girl says she doesn't need a ride and that her friend was coming because they needed to talk. 

I lied and said that I did not want to go to practice anyway and that everything was fine.


Sincerely,

Me.

P.S Is lying ok in this situation? I think so.

I hate politics.

Hello world,

I know this may be rather awkward to have as my first entry, but I believe it is much needed. This year I am taking a government class and for some reason it has not been my cup of tea.

Now it makes me think...

All throughout middle school, I thought I would be a politician and someone who would "change the world", but now I can't even imagine such things happening. Politics just make me want to cringe and cry. The things people say, the levels of corruption, the lies, etc etc.

There has to be some good somewhere right?

Sincerely,

Me

P.S Ironically enough, Government is my highest grade.
