purification and preparation

i’m watching vevo listening to all these songs that essentially serenaded my late teen and early twenties…

a shameful high-five

is this what i have been handing myself all these years? 
shameful high-fives for distasteful indulgences.
watching myself sell myself for a bit of acceptance,
never seeing the other side of me screaming
full of conviction tearing the heart right out my chest.

faith (a belief in God) cannot be built upon something that is untested.

This patience, this humility

will not go unlearned, it will not be forgotten.

If there is one thing the last day of 2016 and the weeks following have taught me, is that dependence is okay. It is perfectly acceptable to rely on your tribe, your people…
