Everybody can use more love. Do not take offense if people are rude or unkind or seem like they are trying to hurt your feelings. You cannot know what is happening with them. Send them love no matter how they act. It will come back to you many times over as increased love in your life.
Orin (via light-essence)

He did not care if she was heartless, vicious and vulgar, stupid and grasping, he loved her. He would rather have misery with one than happiness with the other.

It is dreadful when something weighs on your mind, not to have a soul to unburden yourself to. You know what I mean. I tell my piano the things I used to tell you.

“Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment” -J.Rohn

And by the way, everything in life is writable about if you have the outgoing guts to do it, and the imagination to improvise. The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt.

winter quarter, 2011

school & life left me broken, bruised, bleeding & crying this winter quarter…sadly more than once. however, it has made me a stronger, more independent woman. therefore, i got the last laugh. & today i (hopefully) kicked this winter quarter’s ass.

i am now mooooooving forward & on to my last quarter.

It's never to late for lent. I started late as well!
What are you thinking of giving up?

totally didn’t see i had a message. i wanted to give up soda. but i can’t :( i think i literally NEED it to survive lol 

I’ll be your therapist for the evening…

being in graduate school can tough. being in graduate school and studying the mental health field can, at times, be tougher. dealing with the shit-tuations of life while in graduate school is tougher-er. 

life has recently been an up hill battle. at times i resent the fact that being a therapist often means that i must be careful in my thoughts and actions because it influences the role of therapist i have assumed. often, when going through life’s struggles, it is difficult to be a therapeutic entity when working with clients. when life has you down and out, it is difficult to be neutral while assisting clients work through their struggles. recently i’ve gone into work with the “i really don’t want to be here right now” feeling, especially when all i want to do cry. but then…then i go into work. and as i begin working with clients, realize that i enjoy what i do, and for those few hours, i can put myself aside and find joy in knowing that God has placed me in the role i was born for. i truly enjoy what i do, even when some times i feel that i am in no position to be therapeutic. 

this program has been hard and i will admit i complain a lot. but i thank God everyday for the opportunity He has given. and i thank God for giving me the strength to continue working with my clients when i feel unable to fulfill my role as a therapist. 

my name is Beverly and on Monday mornings, Tuesday and Thursday nights, and Friday afternoons, i am a therapist. 

Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.
Winston Churchill (via quote-book)
