i'm gaining everything back little by little. This year, despite all i've seem to have lost.. i realize i have lost nothing, and i gained so much. its so great what difference it makes seeing what you have instead of what you don't have. its so amazing to know i don't deserve this. God Is Good.
so, i've spent half this morning miserable and most of my sixteenth year out of focus though its only been 5 days i've been sixteen. i was looking at myspace, at other peoples profile believing there life is better than mine. i mean, come on.. right now i'm living a city away from all my closest friends, i'm going to a ghetto school, i'm living in a ghetto city with a not so ghetto neighborhood when i once lived in the best, most of all.. i'm so out of focus. if i were in focus life would be different. i started to miss japan, sleepovers, having your bestfriend live practically down stairs from you. i started to miss my old life.. but most of all i missed my quiet times. i missed my best friend whos always next to me. i missed being joyful and not just happy. then i look back.. and i see i have nothing.. yet i have everything. God taught me a while back that even though everything is taken away i can still be thee most joyful person in the world with no reason but God by my side. oh, happy birthday to all the december people out there & especially madonna.
