I wish I weren’t broken. 
I wish I had you. 

I wish I were myself. 
I wish I were happy. 
I wish we could be together. 
I wish we were better. 
I can’t change things 
I can’t make it better. 


I have seven million trillion things flying through my head, my heart is collapsing in on itself like a black hole. 
I wish I hadn’t hurt you. I wish I had learned. 


All I want for you is happiness. I hope I can be that for you someday and our paths will cross again. I will always love you. With all of my heart.

When I moved back from Hays I was really worried that I would be constantly assaulted with the screams and insanity of living in a house with three children; ages: 15 months, 6 years, and 10 years. I've only been back for a few weeks but already I have realized that living in a house with children is more fun than I could have imagined, especially when I don't want to be left to my own thoughts. I haven't been able to sleep in past 8 for the last week and a half but I would rather be awake and happily spending time with my little niece, or my mother and sister. Things are always active and I haven't really found a time in which I can't retreat into my bedroom for some silence. Anyways, my awesome house isn't what this is all about. This is really about religion, and a child's views on said subject. Moonsand: Jade is my
