i have always grown up in a small town.
too small if you ask me.
it is much like a fish tank.
open.
clear.
no privacy whatsoever.
gets dirty, and when it does everyone can see.
well i've hated this town for too long. always wanting to leave every chance i get. i thought about this. this weird hate i have for here. and then i thought about who i would be without it. i would not be who i am today. that is for sure.
i would not have laughed as much.
i would not have cried as much.
i would not have learned how to entertain myself and friends as much.
i would not be as confident as i am.
and i would not love like i love.
fear consumes me a lot. i never really trust. that is not one of my stronger points. im scared of being safe. im scared of failing. but here. right now. right now i feel safe.
mm. emily, you are so much wiser than your years would tell. God has called you right there, right now, "for such a time as this". being sensitive to the holy spirit on you even now, even in hollister, ca is so huge; he has put you there for a purpose.
