A series of essays and insights written by a 18 year-old Texan.
Matthew 16:25.
"My secrets cry aloud.
I have no need for tongue.
My heart keeps open house,
My doors are widely swung.
An epic of the eyes
My love, with no disguise."

And suddenly I miss you with intensity.
It’s funny, the memories that spark from old pictures.

I run into my room and slam the door. I shut off the lights as I sink to the cheap, carpeted flooring. All the light is gone—I cannot see a thing. I am completely alone.
And it’s in these times of complete lonliness that I let him speak to me. I let him talk me in to thinking I deserve it.
I let him steal my joy, the joy of things The Way has given me. Things I have worked so hard to achieve. In truth, I do not deserve anything. I am not good enough. But The Way decided to give it to me. The Way said, “Sarah, I will go the other 50%. I’ll be good enough if you do your best.” And The Darkness does not agree.

It’s the little things I’m going to miss the most.
Like the random Starbucks runs.
Or when she surprises me with my favorite salad for lunch.
It’s the little things that she remembers that get me the most.
I’m leaving to work at a summer camp for ten weeks on Saturday. We went shopping for supplies, and after we got back, I realized I forgot to get something. It was a small something (fabric Febreez), so I shrugged it off and figured I could go without.
The next day, I got home from church, and there it was— laying on top of all my other camp things. I never even told her I needed it.
This is going to be a hard week.

Some people are so mean.
I just…I don’t understand cyberbullying—I really don’t.
To all the people that rag on each other on Facebook or Tumblr…
Quit it.
People are having a hard enough time as it is.
Just leave them alone.

I can’t sleep anymore.
I toss and turn and dream but never sleep.
I stay up and worry but never sleep.
And when I do, I wake up moments later, only to find that the only part of me that ever actually achieved any decent sleep are my arms.
And I sit up.
And I think.
And I rub until the tingling in my arms subside.
I never truly sleep anymore.
And in the morning, I lay in bed
and wonder
where the night has gone.
