I want to unashamedly post pictures of the sunset just because they fill my heart with bubbles of joy that I can't explain. I want to unashamedly write long, deep posts full of abstruse and antediluvian words even if everyone thinks it odd. I want to say what I need to say even if no one is listening and no one cares. I want to go barefoot all summer even if I'm supposed to be an adult. I want to laugh at everything I find funny even if no one else laughs. I want to love people that no one else would consider loving. I want to read books none of my friends would read. I want to run a lot of miles even if people tell me I'm wasting my time.

A barefoot-running, laughter-loving, book-and-history-nerding, reckless-people-loving, logophile kind of girl.
And if no one wants to hear that, I don't care. Because my Creator hears it. And He does care. And I can feel Him raising some mighty applause for me. And that, my friends, is all I need to keep on keeping on being me.
