the war
“People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.”
it takes a truly strong person to show their beauty through hard times and realize they can go on from such a tradegy and learn to grow. it is so amazing, life is so amazing.
i was reading a story today and this mom had just lost her son in the war. he was 21 years old. she and her family wrote him letters, put them in a bottle and watched as it floated away in the ocean. seven months later, random strangers cleaning up the gulf coast, found these letters...read them and then wrote the mother appreciating everything their son had done for this country. he sacrificed his life for us. although that is amazing in and of itself, the mother is the true point behind this blog.
how hard it must be for a mother to bury a child, no matter the age. but at 21...this is our age! she came from this tradegy a changed woman. how beautiful that she is able to cope with such a loss and grow from this point to helping those other parents who lost a child in war. she took her own story and made it so so many more people are able to learn to grow from such an experience. how beautiful a gift she has given to the world.

romance
im in my bedroom with my roommate and her boyfriend. never have i yearned for something like they have. it is one of the best relationships i've encountered with the most love i have seen shared between two people at such a YOUNG age. they have the silliest converstations i have ever heard yet her boyfriend always throws into the converstation how beautiful my roommate is. to see that smile light up the room is astounding. but most importantly they are so in sink and so comfortable with eachother it really amazes me. she is so comfortable with him, when before she had self-confidence issues, and truly didn't believe in herself. i want that, so bad. i'm not too sure why being in a relationship is so important this time in my life. maybe because we only have this short life to live, and to blame media and advertisements they put it in out minds at such a young age to fall in love, get married, and have a family. i pray and hope with my whole heart that this is where i am suppose to go with my life.
