never settle for anything less than I deserve (read all 2 entries…)
Remembering... 1 week ago

I need to focus on this goal right now. I don’t want to do anything to harm this goal. I currently have a lot of great things but need to remember to work for them so I can deserve them, and I need to get away from stupid lingering thoughts holding me away and pulling me towards things that are not worthy.



stop worrying
everyone will love this... 9 months ago

I am such a momma. I am only 20, but that doesn’t matter. I watch my friends, I take care of them, I question them, always checking and fretting about…
Then everything in my own life I question so much I get nervous and scared and worry so much it drives people insane and away from me.
I know if I could let everything role a bit, and still take care of my friends-but a bit less overwhelmingly, I’d be a lot happier, and people around me would feel better. Then I could finally just enjoy what’s there instead of focusing on thoughts of it not being there so hard that it’s gone.

Proving Difficult 9 months ago

Campus ministry told me they are now really only accepting people into education or people with previous international experience because they have so many applicants and can be more selective.
I also realized that the idea of living alone in a foreign country freaks me out, and so going with a religious group that live in communities sounds better… however I won’t go to Africa, limiting my choices. Also, not being in education really limits me.
I’m becoming so distressed about this, I really don’t want to have to revise this particular dream, but maybe to do my good volunteer work abroad I’ll have to get established with a film institute and do projects on a smaller-scale abroad with video.

I just worry not going now will make me settle down and not want to go away, but still be left with the burning desire to continue my volunteer work and travel abroad all at once.
