  3. 107 days

    I don’t know if I miss you or if I miss the idea of you. I don’t know if I miss when you surprised me over coffee or if I miss wondering if you would. I don’t know if I miss your arguments or if I miss coming up with rebuttals. Mostly, though, I miss laughing and I miss you. I do really think I miss you. But your heart was there all along wasn’t it: with your family and on the beaches. That’s why you showed me the apartments and told me of your future dreams of places and puppies. You were missing aloud and I was just the listener. Now there’s no apartments, only partings and this is the second time I’ve cried about it and that’s a lot for me and I’d never admit it to your face but I do miss you and I think you’re a good man. I think you’ll have a grand life and people will listen to you and you’ll bring them His joy and you’ll make them laugh, because you are good at that. I don’t know why this is especially difficult for me but I know we must part, we have parted, but I refuse to bid you farewell. Be free, be joy, but be not a stranger, for I miss you. That’s all.

     


  4. Great stories happen all around you every day. At the time they’re happening, you don’t think of them as stories. You probably don’t think about them at all. You experience them. You enjoy them. You learn from them. You’re inspired by them. They only become stories if someone is wise enough to share them. That’s when a story is born.

  5. If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweet streets so well that the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well.
    — Martin Luther King, Jr.
     


  6. There is no agony like bearing an untold story inside of you.

  8. This week is wonderful.

    Here’s why:
    I’ve been editing photos. I’d forgotten how much I love this.
    As I’ve posted Owl City photos on my photog tumblr (edgeofmephotography.tumblr.com), Adam’s sweet fans have been reblogging/favouriting like champs. They make my day.
    My roommate bought me cookie dough tea. That exists.
    I’ve started week 2 of P90X, which feels like an accomplishment.
    I’m reading fiction.
    The band’s management like my photos.
    I’ve been networking, which is another forgotten love.
    Thursday I sell a denim vest.
    On Thursday, the guy I’m selling a vest to is not only paying me, but giving me a skateboard. I’m beyond excited. I decided a while back (okay, it was maybe a few weeks ago) that 2013 would be the year I’d learn how to skateboard.
    I had the coziest lazy Sunday.
    It’s finally warm outside.
    Yesterday it rained on my walk back from the gym and it was perfect.
    Fall Out Boy’s CD came out.
    My hair feels like summer.
    People have been hashtagging my photos funny things (think Britney Spears lyrics on a photo of Adam).
    God is just really good and He is blessing and providing for me and I’m so thankful.
