little bursts

here are some thoughts from the last few days. some are insightful and maybe even important, others are trivial and sillier than this song.

> i get annoyed with the cliches that people toss my way, and that i find for myself, but really, cliches are true, and they're good. as long as we don't settle for just the phrase, but seek to live it out.

> i got accepted to serve with a ministry in quito, ecuador. i'm most likely moving there in july. WAIT, WHAT

> i get caught up in wanting to make a big difference in the world that i lose sight of what's in front of me. i lose sight of the fact that a smile and a conversation and a hug can make a difference in one person's life, which is making a difference in the world. it doesn't have to be all big and facebook-status-worthy things.

> i'm so thankful for the community at reality santa barbara, even though i'm not super plugged in. i feel a sense of belonging and family regardless of my level of involvement.

> i'm so tired of drama. i'm twenty-three. isn't it time for us to grow up and move on? have conversations like adults?

> at the same time, i don't want to grow up. i like having fun and being silly. i'm not ready for a big girl job, and even though i'm heading in that direction, i don't think i'll ever really grow up.

> i need to learn how to finish a book, instead of starting a new one and abandoning the previous one half way through. i think i have commitment issues.

> i'm jealous of my friends' big kid jobs, but at the same time, i know i'm not designed for a 9 to 5 office job. at least, not one that i'm not super passionate about. i'd rather work at starbucks or have an unpaid internship and be broke than work a desk job because i feel like i need to have a "stable job"

> boys are silly and i don't understand.

> i'm excited for whatever adventure i go on next, because then i'll be able to blog about adventures. i only have so many adventures here.
