Xanga,
I think I'm done here.
I journal elsewhere now. Kudos if you find it.
I don't think you will.
It's a secret

Sometimes life is hard; for some, harder than others.
Nothing is thrown at us that we can't handle.
Nothing is easy. Nothing is meant to be easy.
Sitting back and watching our lives go by won't cut it.
Don't make life purposeless;
life should be amazing and can be amazing.
We have to work, be strong-willed,
strive towards what we want to accomplish,
and keep our chins up.
There's tons of bad things out there
but sitting, watching, and complaining won't do any good.
Suck it up, tie your shoelaces, tighten your belt,
put on a nice shirt, run out there and dance like you mean it.
Sing your song, walk your walk, talk your talk,
live life because the hopes we have are longing to be set free.
Force things to be right.
Not everything is going to work out;
it's not always a snap of the finger and it's done.
But even so, everything can be even more beautiful
than the happily-ever-after endings in movies.
We have to take what's around us and make paradise.

Do that and even more importantly;

Sing His song, walk His walk, talk His talk,
live life because the hopes He has for us are longing to be set free.
We have to take what's around us and make His paradise.
