The Burdens of Being Upright

Sep 12, 2002

and from your lips she drew the hallelujah

love is not concerned
with whom you pray
or where you slept
the night you ran away
from home
love is concerned
that the beating of your heart
should kill no one.
-Alice Walker


i like life. (good topic sentence for lindsay.) school is great. friends are great. everything's great. i'm happy. or not happy, happiness isnt something you're meant to feel all the time. more like... i'm good. there's still times when i get upset or angry but it's not all that important to me anymore. instead of running from emotions, i'm embracing them. just waking up every morning is good enough for me. just being alive and with the people i love. the only thing that scares me is knowing that i can never feel good without something going wrong. its just a test to see what will give way first.
