Love, is a marathon. That's why you get so tired so fast of everyone. Slow down and face yourself. Cause when it's good, it's is a long, open road. You're exhausted, always comming down, trying to come up for air, trying to act like you just don't care. Love is a marathon...

Be Transparent for a While.

What I chase won't set me free.

Have you ever looked so far ahead that each step that you take is planned, whole-heartedly thought about and pursued? While each step can be carefully thought out, life has a certain aspect of being unsure and when life brings about these moments we must take a leap of faith. 

Go on, take it--you may no know where you're going to go, but have trust that you will land.

Have you ever placed your trust in someone, giving them so much more than your pursuit; taking that leap of faith only to find that you've forgotten why you jumped? Mid-air, what you trusted in disappears and suddenly your staring at the ground not sure of how to land. Instead of admitting defeat, you continue on pretending like you know exactly what to do.

I don't have all the answers, I just pretend like I do.

You can only pretend to be something you're not for so long. You can only pretend to be strong before life hits you hard enough to show your weakness. Reality strips us of our lies and of our pride--when nothing left remains, we are flawed and amazingly real. 

Honesty is a hard attribute to find. 

As for right now, I will try to find my way, the best and only way that I know how--through devotion to prayer.
