but let’s get real.
doesn’t everyone feel a little lonely inside at all times?
regardless of people’s presence by their side.

“Babaamr is facing a genocide right now. I will never forgive you for your silence. You all have just give us your words but we need actions. However our hearts will always be with those who risk their life for our freedom. I know what we need! We need campaigns everywhere inside Syria and outside Syria, and now we need all people in front of all embassies all over the...

I can’t believe lent came this early. I love the process of going through several weeks while keeping my promises with God and patiently waiting for the celebration of Easter, but at the same time, I realize lent is a very emotional commitment during which I need to reflect upon myself often. with college life and a bit of disconnection I have been feeling with God, I am slightly afraid of...

my high school’s one of the biggest events - inite- is today. I’ve been looking at the pictures of seniors rehearsing for the big show and smiling brightly in their costumes and to be honest, I’m really jealous. although college is full of freedom and fun and all, 2nd semester of senior year is something simply unforgettable. never in my life do I believe I will have a period of...

“When I was a girl, my life was music that was always getting louder.
Everything moved me. A dog following a stranger. That made me feel so much. A calendar that showed the wrong month. I could have cried over it. I did. Where the smoke from a chimney ended. How an overturned bottle rested at the edge of a table.
I spent my life learning to feel less.
Every day I felt less.
Is that growing...

dad came to visit the states for a week. usually I would have been able to spend all that time with him, but now that I’m in college, I was only able to see him yesterday for three hours. he drove down and back for a total of ten just so he could have dinner with me. when he left, I felt nothing. as if he had stepped into my life and left without leaving any footprints I could trace back.

sometimes, I feel as if everything I have to say has been already said
bullet points, for good days
back at Duke; classes start tomorrow
have you ever put your ipod on shuffle for over 3 hours and was satisfied with every song that has come up? I’m chilling here, enjoying this delicious sensation and shamelessly thinking, “wow! I really love my taste in music!”
life is good.

Dear Sungmin,
12:38 am. the clock has already ticked away from January 1st to 2nd, and I’m watching episodes after episodes of We Got Married. I wonder how you’re doing. I wonder if you’re at the college you’ve been dreaming of. Notre Dame? Duke? Wellesely, perhaps? I wonder if you’re still interested in human rights. I wonder if you’re still thinking about...

I wish we were close enough for me to tell you some things about my life. I wish we were close enough to hug each other when I come back from college after several months. I wish you knew any of my friends. I wish you knew about the times I fall in love. I wish you knew that although I seem to be doing fine, I’m actually afraid of everything and I’m really only a girl who wants to...

“It was me, my thinking, my cancer of never letting go. Is ignorance bliss? I don’t know, but it’s so painful to think, and tell me, what did thinking ever do for me, to what great place did thinking ever bring me? I think and think and think. I’ve thought myself out of happiness one million times, but never once into it.”

when I was only a little kid, daddy found me one day sobbing as silently as I could after being scolded by mom. he held me and told me I shouldn’t be learning how to cry quietly just yet because one day I’d forget to do it as loudly as I would like.
and now every time I cry, I think of daddy because I miss him so much and I think I really did forget how to sob out loud

Anonymous donors pay off Kmart layway accounts
The young father stood in line at the Kmart layaway counter, wearing dirty clothes and worn-out boots. With him were three small children.
He asked to pay something on his bill because he knew he wouldn’t be able to afford it all before Christmas. Then a mysterious woman stepped up to the counter.
“She told him, ‘No, I’m paying for it,’” recalled Edna Deppe,...
