If this, then yes, you should.

If…


 -You refer to them as the “Shoes that like to hurt you,”


-Have never worn it,


-Couldn’t tell what it was when you found it,


-Feel like Sailor Moon in it,


-Think “I should really just get rid of this” every time you see it,


-Grimace when you try it on,


-Are saving it in case you get pregnant,


-Are saving it in case you lose ten pounds suddenly,


-Will get around to fixing it someday,


-Aren’t sure when you can wear it without looking easy,


-Forgot you had it,


or


-Are not sure how it was intended to be worn in the first place,


then yes, 


                   you should get rid of it.





Going through my clothes is always a very revealing process.

Stuff I Wasn't Planning on Writing Today

At some point in the past few months my phone started notifying me of my Bible app's verse of the day. It was super annoying, because I'm prideful and I don't like to be helped or reminded- I can remember to read the Bible ON MY OWN, thank you very much. And, I don't want to read what cutesy verses you picked out, app, I'll go find something really amazing to read ON MY OWN. Get it? Hear me? I'm fine, on my own. Like I said, I am prideful.

I love you so much, and I am completely devoted to you, and I know that you’re the man God had for me to marry- BUT, even if none of that was true, there are still hundreds of good reasons for me to marry you. And this fudge is two of them. My eternal thankfulness when Arthur made me fudge

The thought of explaining what I was feeling would seem enormous and exhausting, just like every single other thing did. I knew that instead, I would numbly caption my Instagram photos with something meaningless about chubby-cheeked babies, or pithy remarks about dry shampoo to distract my Facebook friends from the hollowed-out place inside of me.  I was afraid. Depression is not unfamiliar to me. It is not limited to ...
