this is written by one of the most beautiful people that i’ve ever met. if you’ve seen her, you might think i’m referring to the way she looks. if you know her, you know that that isn’t remotely to what i’m referring. this blog post brought me to tears and to the much needed reminder that to live life to the full, to live in this broken, messy, sometimes not so clear,...

Some days I just want to scream.
And today has just been one of those days. It also happens to be the day my blog post is due.
So welp, here goes.
Actually, here goes round 2.

life. and the fight to live it.
i’m struggling with depression. and i’m going to start blogging about it.
i think i have struggled with depression on and off my whole life. it’s a struggle i’m not convinced i’ll ever be completely free of on this side of Heaven. maybe, but that’s not what i’m banking my hope on. i know one day depression won’t make the slightest dent in my memory...

Everything about the conference was wonderful: the band, the content, the...
