"i'm trying to find a way to be happy without being the best"
this was stated by a man photographed by whoever runs Humans of New York. it's amazing to see how much other people can relate to you thousands of miles away. i just started my 2nd semester of college today and this statement describes my first day perfectly. last semester it was hard when my best didn't match up with others. then again, i question whether or not i really tried my best. however, the other day my dad stated, "you could get all Fs and still get into nursing school because our God is that big" therefore, i shall repeat myself again and say:
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your path straight. Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and shun evil.
-Proverbs 3:5-7
here is an old image from california because i miss it very very much
