1. :)

    Sitting at home after performing with Abba Modern, eating a fat slice of cake, listening to Phoenix on repeat, and pondering what I will do with the extra 5 hours of free time I now have on Sunday now that dance practices are over. 

    teehee.

     


  2. my heart

    is beating faster and faster as I am nearing the final rounds of my thesis revisions (albeit, these rounds take forever…). it’s funny how after reading over your writing so many times, it doesn’t sound like your own words anymore. probably around this time tomorrow, I will have handed off my paper copy to the student services office. i dont know how to feel.

     


  3. ‘It is finished.’ May those words land on your bones for the nights when fear tells you the cross was a beginning & you must finish grace.

  5. MOAR FAITH LORD. MOAR. FAITH.

     


  6. sleepless in seattle

    this movie teaches us that being a hopeful creeper from across the country is okay. and that it will WORK!

    duly noted.

     


  7. Often times, I come before the Lord with a heart set on bombarding Him with all of my hopes, fears and questions. When I find days where I have nothing to think or say, I feel as if I am not prepared enough to meet with Him.

    I have been reminded of the fact that when one spends time with his or her significant other, ultimately all that matters is physical act of being next to one another, and the knowledge that the object of your love is a mere arm-reach away, rather than the preparation of coherent words or conversations. Lovers bask in each other’s warmth and joy—silence is golden.

    My Abba Father yearns to meet with me, not because of the way I behave in His presence, but because He loves me, and that’s what love does to you. Lord, would I come before you with a heart that purely wants to seek your face? May I, too, bask in your warmth and joy in stillness?

  9. mini victories

    today at 7:53PM, my dwx set finally reached total completion. 5 practices ago, this day felt so excruciatingly far away. 

    no more cramming new blocking/choreography monday mornings at 6AM and panicking trying to remember it all before practice. WHAT A GLORIOUS THING!

    i think my brain is just about ready to retire its choreographic juices. i hope my last dwx set turned out to be what it was meant to be.

     

  10. High buns make my head feel better when I’m stressed out—something about the pulling tension that’s soothing…?

    Anyways, life has been really, really exhausting. I’m basically not allowed to show my fatigue/stress in public since my responsibilities involve people watching me all the time, and I definitely would not want a leader/choreographer who doesn’t look enjoyable, so I understand and accept this fact.

    This however results in random emo tumblr posts. My apologies.

    On another note, I really enjoyed the direction and soundtrack of “Warm Bodies”. Probably the best (and only) impulsive “yolo” decision I’ve made in a while.
