Applebee's Boy

December 4, 2016

So there's this boy. The start of every basic white girl "love" story ever. After I had my heart broken by my best friend I told my self no more. I couldn't handle it. Well, my heart didn't listen.

A couple of my girl friends and I went to Applebee's after a football game one night and were having a heart to heart about life. Then in walked this tall, attractive boy and it hit me like a ton of bricks that "HEY, he's cute!!" He and his friends were escorted by the hostess past our table and he said hi to me and I sunk into our booth like a turtle.

I didn't know what to do, so I didn't. For weeks, I ignored how I felt but it started to eat at me. I sought the approval of one of my friends to pursue him because I didn't think I could. After a push to talk to my friend about other things in my life, I opened up and told him about Applebee's boy. He was totally chill and was like "girl, don't let me control your life."

Once I realized I was being a dingus, I had to find a way to try and talk to him. It started with small Facebook messages and and asking how he is. I thought by putting myself out there he would pick up my flirting but not really. So I pushed a little.

I made a small idiot of myself to give him my Snapchat and talk with him and banter him with. Still nothing... Dude come on. So I talked to one of our mutual friends for advice about what to do.

We have started texting and talking a little bit and getting to know each other and if only this boy knew how much he made me swoon. Between the same taste in Star Wars, EDM and his brain, I melt like a popsicle when I talk to him.

I just wish he understood that I was flirting with him. I wish I knew what he thought. Maybe he knows and he is ignoring me. Who knows...

What are you thinking Applebee's boy?

xoxo,
Em

Unexpected Realizations

September 8, 2016 Yesterday, I had a conversation that I wasn't expecting to have and it went better than expected. Sometimes, you expect the worst in people and then they surprise you. Then, I realized how much a horrible person I can be by judging someone based on my emotions. (Bad life choice!) Then, I once again have a realization that pushing people out because of others isn't right but how often do we find ourselves doing it? Or how often do we justify it because of our anger and emotions? Too often, we let our emotions make our decisions instead of trying to be reasonable or logical about the situation. It can be hard to "check" ourselves when we know that we will be wrong or our actions will be. However, it can be redeeming to realize that you're wrong and move past it. While it can be awkward to have those conversations, the freedom that comes from them is unexplainable sometimes. I was wrong. Very wrong. I judged and then I realized I didn't ...

Marking Time

August 24, 2016 Have you ever been in the middle of a tunnel in life and don't know how to find a way out? I've been experiencing a lot of that lately. Not in a depression sense of my life but more in the purpose of it. (If that makes any sense). I feel as though I am marking time through life not really connecting in what I am supposed to be doing. It's a weird feeling. When we, our marching band, went to church together on Sunday the pastor was talking about relationships and three levels of connections we can have. It got me thinking about my own friendships and relationships but also about the connections of my life. What if I haven't been connecting in the ways God is calling me because I am too focused on marking time through life? I realized how much more intentional I need to be with my life. I realized how much I don't want people in my life unless they are "real" friends. So I have decided to do a life cleanse. My life cleanse just mean...

Life Without a Script

May 13, 2016 Since I have been home for the past week it has been a roller coaster of emotions. Sometimes in these roller coasters it's hard to trust that God is in control. The past few weeks my church at school was talking about "life without a script" but what does that mean? For me, it's having faith that as my story is playing out; God is in control and is the one dictating my script. (Not going to lie, it's really hard) Between a crazy family situation that is totally out of control, it makes my heart hurt. With other stress from work things with my family I'm struggling to have faith. It makes me question why do good things happen to bad people? I have to remember that Satan is running our material world. Now more than ever I have to lean into God's plan because this world is only temporary. My mom is the one who has been reminding me about that. She tells me "have faith, remember?" While I am normally the strong in God; now my mom...
