It’s a Confetti Party, and You’re Invited.

Life Advisory: Unavailable.
No one ever cautioned me about life’s whirlwind of adventures. I wish someone would have. I wish they had alerted me about how unfair life would seem sometimes. That, you could be responsible and try to do all the things right but still, your world could come crashing down all around you. I wish they had told me about how perfection is completely unattainable, that failures and mistakes are inevitable, and how your deepest dreams and desires could potentially burn up in flames and turn to ashes. True story, the world can be outrageous.
I’m Dusting Off Those Little Jars.

I once had someone tell me I couldn’t let my stories sit in little jars on a shelf left to collect dust. I ignored it for so long. I wasn’t brave enough. I didn’t think I had it in me. I felt too broken. All I wanted to do was sweep all that dust under the carpet and leave it there completely concealed. And then I read a line somewhere that God creates magnificently beautiful things out of dust.
