just to see you smile

I made a new tumblr.

Too many people I knew found this one.

Hi Lauren. I just wanted to tell you that you are really beautiful. On the outside, and the inside. You are never alone, you are surrounded by people that love you so much, and I think you're a great person and I hope you're doing better in school.<3

My answer:

Thank you so much. I really needed that. <3

I guess I never realized how alone I really am.

“People are often unreasonable and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.
If you are honest, people may cheat you. Be honest anyway.
If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway.
The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough. Give your best anyway.
For you see, in the end, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.”
-Mother Teresa

I see her and I see love. I’m pretty sure she’s going to be my Confirmation saint, I just need to make sure by exploring others. The work she did for our world is just so incredible and she was just such a symbol of God’s love for us.

I feel like writing this down will help me actually do it. So, this is what I’m giving up/taking on this Lent:

I’m going to daily mass at least 3 times a week. I’m going to pray the rosary meaningfully once a day. I’m going to adoration at least once.a week if not more. I’m praying outside the abortion clinic every Monday from 1-2.

I want to make these 40 days meaningful, because if Jesus went 40 days in the desert constantly facing Satan, and if Jesus died for my salvation, then I can definitely do this.
