seeking: eternally grateful (last known alias: eg mudy)
scared. confused. vulnerable.
(but external comfort is not what i seek. i thank you, sincerely, anyway.)
i went to church today.
broken.
healed, for the first time.
not healed by them, but by my decision to go.
"supporting" a friend.
curiosity.
underlying need.
not afraid
of churches, anyway;
of being in them, that is to say.
i've carried myself through the last (nearly) four years.
i needed to bear that burden;
to feel self-sufficient, self-sustaining, self-aware and to prove that these descriptions of me were self-evident.
weakness- the is the most liquid word in the whole english language. put a price tag on that word and try to sell it universally; you'll never make the same sale twice.
capable. i. am.
capable.
all by my lonesome. too.
i'm no kitten stuck up a tree.
i need no crutch to get me by.
the service ended today and i felt relieved, rejuvinated, and resiliant. and, for the first time in a long time, i felt a resonance in my long-forgotten soul. in fact, i remembered that i had one.

Word to the wise: I am NOT accepting Jesus Christ as my Lord and Saviour. ;)
(I just needed to put that out there.)
Thanks, T. Glad you like it. A friend of mine took a whole slew of pictures of me a while back and they're just now making it up here. :)
