Goodbye

The 26 Union Road house sold today.

Goodbye, childhood home.

You were a good house.

Good times.

furious 7

it all started with watching the first and second movies a million times in middle school.  as the years went on, i eagerly followed the franchise with an excitement that only grew with each successive movie.  i've come to find a home in this franchise in a way that i've never found in any other media.

i've shed so many tears for paul walker, and for this cast.

i love the fast and furious family.

happy birthday to me!

thanks, laura, for making the awesome card, and thanks to my favorite sister, katie, for this awesome handmade gift!  isn't it cute?  :}

Loss.  More than a feeling.

sometimes, happiness is found in the little things.

other times, it’s found in a freaking green-backlit mechanical keyboard.

a gift from your brothers who love you and care for you -- happy birthday, mini :)

i really think giving gifts is one of my passions lolol

feelings

I used the word “feel” a couple times and it was pounced on like a fumbled football. And yet I kept asking myself “why do these people have a problem with feelings or the concept of feelings?”

Feelings are, essentially, thoughts. They don’t come from the heart, they come from the brain. Both thoughts and feeling are chemical and electrical functions of the brain. It’s true they are different, but one is not a lie while the other is true. The reality is, neither is trustworthy without verification and consideration.

The distinction, however, that feelings are lesser trustworthy experiences is a false dichotomy. Certainly you can’t do math with feelings, but you can’t love with math. Is math an invention of God while love a worldly experience? Did God create your mind to be a calculator and Satan stuck some feelings into the mix?

The Bible itself includes a large amount of art and history and comparably few rational essays, so the evangelical tendency to dismiss “feelings” is confusing.

warm weather and sunlight

let’s go for a drive

one hand on the wheel, one hand in yours — both of which make my heart beat fast

bed

metaphorically speaking, i want to be a bed for someone.

it's where you go to completely relax and be yourself. a physical relief -- from the long day, from tiredness, from cold, from the rest of the world. an emotional relief -- from people, from small talk, from conflicts, from social situations. no need to look presentable, no need to exert energy, no need to be guarded. relaxed. comfortable. no pretenses. safe.

true relationship.
