the shadow of a idea,
the swirling whisper of a dream,
the absence of a person,
and suddenly
I was voicing a thought over the kitchen table the next morning.
the dear one stopped walking
and we conversed for a bit before I had to rush off.
(but when I left, it was with a smile)
*JUST EXISTING* IS NOT OKAY
i am learning to thrive // not just survive.
i am learning to serve Him // not just be around them.
(i gave her my two weeks notice yesterday afternoon)
and tonight as the long weekend stretched before me
my arms wrapped around my legs and early fall wind in my hair
tipping my head back to drink in the sight of so many stars

The first photo is so nice, and I like the personality coming through in the others. :)
ReplyDeleteBut this though: *JUST EXISTING* IS NOT OKAY
i am learning to thrive // not just survive.
i am learning to serve Him // not just be around them.
Yes, amen. Preach it. xx
Yes okay THANK YOU for these words, Jessica
Delete*JUST EXISTING* IS NOT OKAY << ugh. I totally understand this as an introvert. something I struggle with a lot -- hence my blog name. lol.
ReplyDeletesimply gorgeous pics, gal! <3
Thank you so much, gal!
Delete*JUST EXISTING* IS NOT OKAY-- everyone is commenting on that, but I have to, too, because it's just so perfect. I'm having to remind myself of that all the time.
ReplyDeleteYour writing is gorgeous, and I'm in love with your photos. You're so talented.
Okay but we're learning, right?
DeleteAnd thank you, Grace, for the compliments (this art thing, i'm learning too)
Also I was just made really happy because I read your About page and saw that you're an isfp- so am I! I've actually never met another isfp before so that just made my morning:) <3
ReplyDeleteahhhhhhh this makes me so happy. let's do it. let's start a club.
Delete*GASP* What is love?
ReplyDeleteYOU!!!!!!
DeleteThank you for sharing this. I've been extremely overwhelmed by first few weeks of college and this post made me feel at peace. I've been focusing so much on my schoolwork that I'm not actually living, I'm surviving, like you said. It's been a tough couple of weeks but somehow I'm making it through. The images are so serene and the film-y-ness of them is the most gorgeous thing I've EVER seen. Thank you, dear, for creating this work of art. <3
ReplyDeleteyou've got this, Eve.

DeleteMy sophomore year of college I quite my job without a job to go to. It was scary, liberating, and made perfect sense. I worked on the farm. I worked on my studies. I worked on my art. I worked on me. God will provide.
