White noise

I have no words.
All I hear is silence.

One thing I love: Christ.

Creativity

These are my thoughts, in no particular order. You can feel honoured that you were part of the rehearsal process.

God created, therefore I will create.
Nothing to be scared of, no judgements.
Just ideas.
I am a creative person. I am a creator.
For the Bible tells me so.
I am in awe of the ability to create.
Who utilizes their ability to create?
Who understands that they CAN create?
I am fulfilled in creating.
MYTH is changing my life, already has, in how I view other people (always changing) and how I view myself.
I am worthy of this opportunity.
I am worthy of creating.
Thank you for laughter. For words. For sound.

Cup of Kiss

There's a person who attended Trinity last year with me and unfortunetly my first year was their last so this year I stand alone.
So here's to the one who loved my sinful self last year


Please come see through these miles to me

I need your wisdom and brotherly advice

Your laughter is healing

Comfort

Upside down worlds with no absolute answers

Always questions

Adventures with no boundaries

Love that's worth having

Life that's worth living

Brilliance in its purest form

This is what you've taught me

Friend.

One Thing I love: brothers, real and pretend

Something New

"But forget all that- It is nothing compared to what I am going to do. For I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun! Do you see it? I will make a pathway through the wilderness. I will create rivers in the dry wasteland".
Isaiah 43:18-19

You know when you're on the brink of something? Well I think i'm on the brink. Of what? I do not know but my rehearsals are getting me so excited for this semester and this show.
Our show and characters are created completely from Scripture. How can this show not be God ordained? I feel like he has been at every step in this process so far. We are creating something completely new with this show but I think that is only because there is something new being created within us. And I am beginning to see glimpses of it.
He is glorious through our mess.

One Thing I Love: being made to read scripts.

I'm a creator

I did a colour test. These were my results.

You're a CREATOR

Key Words:
Nonconforming, Impulsive, Expressive, Romantic, Intuitive, Sensitive, and Emotional

These original types place a high value on aesthetic qualities and have a great need for self-expression. They enjoy working independently, being creative, using their imagination, and constantly learning something new. Fields of interest are art, drama, music, and writing or places where they can express, assemble, or implement creative ideas.

I would say that's fairly accurate. Maybe not the romantic side so much. And all I did was click on colours.

One Thing I Love: learning.

Tribute

Oh no- here comes that sun again.
And that means another day without you my friend.
And it hurts me to look into the mirror at myself.
And it hurts even more to have to be with somebody else.

And it's so hard to do and so easy to say.
But sometimes - sometimes,
you just have to walk away - walk away and head for the door.

With so many people to love in my life, why do I worry about one?
But you put the happy in my ness, you put the good times into my fun.

And it's so hard to do and so easy to say.
But sometimes - sometimes,
you just have to walk away - walk away and head for the door.

We've tried the goodbye so many days.
We walk in the same direction so that we could never stray.
They say if you love somebody than you have got to set them free,
but I would rather be locked to you than live in this pain and misery.
They say time will make all this go away,
but it's time that has taken my tomorrows and turned them into yesterdays.
And once again that rising sun is droppin' on down
And once again, you my friend, are nowhere to be found.

And it's so hard to do and so easy to say.
But sometimes - sometimes you just have to walk away, walk away and head for the door.
You just walk away, walk on, turn and head for the door.

- Ben Harper

Busy bears

Sincere apologies for the lack of posts.

Today marks one week of living at Trinity. It feels like i've been here forever. Maybe i'm niave but I did have the slight hope that this year would be similar to last year. But of course, it's not. Nothing like it at all. I am excited to see where it takes me, what I learn.

I can't really complain that much because my roomate is incredible. We are both theatre majors and so similar and yet so different all at the same time. I feel we will be good for each other. Plus I have never lived with anyone in my entire life so this year will prove to be interesting.

I may be revamping this blog soon into a school project but I will have to see how that is going to work yet.

One Thing I love: roomates

tall grass beyond
structure behind

I sit happily
watching the smoke drift lazily out the window

Parliaments and liquor
Sufjan and laughter

I watch the stars come out
on this night of contentment
