simply.

"As every breath I take tugs me closer to my death, I await for someone to rip this boredom out of my chest and remind me what my purpose is. I pray to my God, learning to trust in Him more often, because I know He will not let me down. If ever anyone will let unsatisfy me, it will be a beautiful letdown. I wait in this uproarious silence for a voice to say, "I dare you to lift yourself off of the floor..." I need to get out there, I need to make a difference. I have to stop this deadly routine and get the hell out of here. I want to make a difference. There is hope. We need love. Love is the movement. Get up, get up, love is moving you now."

i just read that from someone's profile and i felt a sort of beauty in it. so i thought i'd share. and once upon a time my myspace said "I want to change the world, or at least witness it change in a good way. We need change. We need hope. We need love. There is hope. Love is how we get change. Love is the movement." and that is still just as true... i'm also seeing more and more that in order to be a part of that change i don't need to be famous, i don't need to move away.. i can do it here.. right now i still feel limited.. but i think next summer i'm going to try to go somewhere for a month to work.. not sure where or how but i want to. i believe we need each other, we need hope and that we don't have to leave our hometowns to do it. anyways.. i've been thinking about maybe trying to work with 'the simple way'.. they're based in Philly i believe.. but i'll have to look into that more. They've been mentioned in the book i am currently reading many times.. and i didn't realize this until now but i think they might have been mentioned in a TWLOHA blog once.. or maybe switchfoot?? idk.

i'm gonna go clean my room.. school is creeping up on us.

wow that quote at the beginning... i loved it.
that sounds like a good plan chrissy. i hope you learn more about that and do something with it. that'd be pretty amazing
and you're right, we forget too many times that everyone can do their part, that you don't have to be famous or rich to make a change in something. i know we all want to change the world, to stop the wars. but to do something like that it takes the little things first, like a smile, to start them from stopping. i don't think many people understand that.
