Stronger

I was journal-ing yesterday. Something that I haven't done for awhile, but have a lot of things I need to record. It was tough, and sometimes felt like a chore, but I carried stubbornly on.
I wrote this paragraph. *

"Yes. It has been an extensively long period of time since I have written in my journal. This is due to the simple fact that I. don't. have. time. Perhaps it is more correct to say that I don't "take" the time, but it seems that for the past few weeks, my limited "free time" is spent trying to wind-down. I am perpetually busy, tired, and disappointed. I tell myself that it will get better when school is over, but that is only partially true. My life will never "get easier," it will just "go on."


By the time I had finished writing that, I had thoroughly depressed myself. I walked to my dresser and turned on my radio for some sort of distraction or relief. What song came on?
The chorus of "Stronger," by Kelly Clarkson.


"What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stand a little taller...."

I'll be fine.










*It will not be often that I share entries out of my journal. It gets rather tiring to write everything down twice, so this blog is for the fun stuff that won't fit, and the pictures. As a side-note, I recently journal-ed about my trip to / performance in the Smith Center, and found that it was so long, and took so much effort that I will default on my promise from a previous post, and NOT blog about it. I will upload the photos to Facebook, and you - if you care at all- can see them there and piece together a story. A picture is worth 1,000 words, and you can tag people in them on Facebook.
