The Bible is a book with many good and virtuous things to learn. People complete books all the time. But how many people have actually read the whole bible? I can’t think of more than three. Why not see what its all about? I want to approach goal without bias. I want to keep an open mind about this because there are lessons to be learned everywhere in life, and why not start with one that has a history of changing lives?

This one really sucks. I bitch because I am unhappy, which might be impulse, but obviously doesn’t feel good. On the flip side though, who wants to be around a bitch? Nobody. Or other bitchy people. Regardless, I understand why people don’t want to be around me at times… Shit. I don’t even want to be around myself when I feel like this. Unhappiness leads to cynicism. And cynicism leads to insecurity. And loss of friends. And every academic year this gets to be a problem. A problem that I guess I never really get past. I just hope and pray that this time, and from here forward, is different.
I have been trying to get over this one for a while. I have bought shirts because they were cute and on clearance, yet never wore them. They gotta go. I have kept games that I have never played. Jewelry too nice to wear. Heels too expensive to risk breaking in. And books I might find time to read, yet haven’t in the last five years. IT ALL HAS TO GO. I have a bad history of making excuses for myself and playing the “what if…” card. Not any longer…
