should i do a linkup?

i was thinking... do you guys think i should do a linkup? i'm not sure. what would it be about? a pictures linkup? if you guys would want it, i would want to know if you guys would actually do it or not, because for me, linkups take a little bit.

tell me your thoughts. they're precious. <3

"i'm coming, you ready?"


let's grab a cab
and go somewhere
the snow falling
on the windshield
as if bringing
memories of old
right to my doorstep
reminding me
of things i've done
things i'm planning
things i wanted to do
but didn't
but it's alright
it's okay
they're fading away
again
even the good ones
but that's okay
they're behind me
i'm going on an adventure
through the snow
in a cab
i've got great things
ahead of me
i don't think
about what's behind
i have a future
before me
and that's
all that matters
now
the past is gone
the future is before me
why live in the past
when we can't
change it?
why not
change
the future?
why not
make a difference
instead of wallowing
in the things
of the past?
that makes
much more sense
i think
as i sit
in the cab
the snow falling
with a smile
on my face

i'm not
going to think
of the things
of the past
with a dread
i'm going to look
to the things of the future
with a smile
and a little whisper
that says,
"i'm coming"
"you ready?"

broken


i was a broken person. i had aged. i no longer felt like myself. i had flown away to some great heights, leaving me here to deal with everything dragging me down, deeper and deeper. i was in the rain, and i could not feel the water. i was in the rain, and all i heard was the storm.

i was no longer free. someone had chained me. they could not be broken. i was in despair. i cried out in pain, wanting to get away, but i could not. i was stuck here forever, i realized. i would never escape. my life was forever misery.
Broken:(adj.) having been fractured or damaged and no longer in one piece or in working order; rejected, defeated, or despairing.
 +i was broken, but not anymore+

the One reached down and picked me up, assembled me into someone new and different then before. am i stronger? i think so. time will tell. i am no longer broken.

gratitude


Gratitude: Take nothing for granted. Even a rock will eventually surrender to the sea and love can slip away like sand through fingers. - Michael Faudet
 i live in a beautiful house on beautiful land and have a beautiful family and beautiful friends.

discontent comes, and sometimes i wonder. it's so silly.

don't take anything for granted.

pathways + choices + ways to go


i lay back
in the sunlight
basking in the glow
smiling up
at the sky
so big and blue
so full of possibilities
i smile
and know
that there
are a thousand pathways
a thousand choices
a thousand ways to go
and all i had to do
was go

there are so many decisions in life. i always get scared about which way to go. i suppose i shouldn't freak out so much. there's One who's watching out for me. i should, instead, see it as an adventure. there's so many places to go.

where do you want to go?

+trust+
+don't be afraid+
+choices to make+

trusting,
