My dear pen pal (who I feel closer to than a lot of my friends here in Kansas) is going through such tough times, and it is almost like I can feel her pain...it makes me cling to the things I love closer, because I'm so scared to lose them.
Two people have drowned in the lake near my home within a week's time. I did not know them, but I started to cry yesterday because people were making jokes about it on their status. Things like "Ew, people should stop dying in the lake...i swim in that!" Such immature and horrible words to proclaim death...It broke my heart.
My best friend on this entire planet is going through some tough times himself as well...He is having such a hard time balancing all the people in his life. He moved back home for the summer, and I was so excited because he is less than a block away from me now (our families are practically neighbors) but now I feel selfish...I feel like it is my fault that he is having problems with his family; because I pleaded so much for him to move back home for his second semester at college. I love him so much; so much that I would let him go if I had to.
I am so lucky in life. I have such great friends who have participated in my recent photo contest :) So many willing to come out in their crazy costumes and help out that silly little cause named Danielle. Such thankfulness.
See what I mean about the emotion?
Emotion is love. Love is emotion.
Another abandonment photo would be appropriate, I think. I hope to create a book filled with abandoned things. A book of hope for our human race.
Three things I'd like to say.
ReplyDeleteFirst one is about the lake thing. It reminds me of when Osama Bin Laden was killed. Everyone rejoiced. Sure he was a bad man, but he was still a child of God and I know He loved him. Besides, did people all of a sudden forget Jesus' second commandment. Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
Second is the photo contest. I won! :)
Third is about abandoned places. There is this small barn that Heather, my older sister, loved to take pictures of. She took a picture of it for each season. Here's a link to the barn -> https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=147725474822&set=a.26434969822.36636.677999822&type=1&theater
If the link didn't work then it's in Heather's Nature album.
