I Believe...

That God has me here for a purpose.

In reading like crazy or until others think you're crazy.

In love, love, love, love, love.

That Dave Matthews Band is one of the best bands in the entire world.

That my mom and my brother are the best people in the entire world.

That I would feel completely alone without my best friend.

In being silly, being goofy, and being yourself.

That Sunny Delight, macaroni-and-cheese, and grilled cheese are cure alls.

In baking whenever you feel like it.

In making sure your kids have a better life than you did.

That someday there will be One who doesn't leave.

That music is a necessity, not an extra.

In letting yourself get carried away.

In impulsiveness, spontaneity, and faith in your actions.

That being warm is cozy is the best feeling in the world.

That family time is the most important time.

In the complexity and feeling that goes into a playlist.

In waiting endlessly for the thing you want the most.

In having a plan, but being able to abandon it when needed.

That we are all human, no more and no less.

That we are not meant to live this life alone, although I have trouble with this one.

In writing something down, no matter how trivial.

In inner-strength and self-reliance, as well as the goodness of vulnerability.

In love stories.

In rehabilitation over imprisonment.

That I will find my path, though I wander searchingly now.
