Today was not very productive at all. I also think I should get out of the house.

[12-13/365]
1. My parents are very patient
2. Especially with me
3. Being able to hear your neighbors at random parts of the day is weird. You know so much about them yet so little. I know that my neighbors are mostly -not- morning people and they like to play video games at night. But I’ve only seen them a couple of times and I don’t really know any of their names.. except their last because I...

Me: Matthew, there are stains all over your pants. What did you do?
Matthew: I do? Oh.. they’re gushers
Me: Haha did you sit on them or something?
Matthew: No I fell asleep and rolled over them.
LOLOL

[10/365] WAKE UP!
It’s not enough to listen to Chris Tomlin on repeat. Something’s gotta change; I’ve got to change. It’s two steps forward, some-number of steps back. I feel like the stock market.
But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.

[9/365] Christmas Day
I’m at war with myself. All the secular-ness of Christmas is driving me crazy. I can’t stand the senseless talk about gifts and money. I know my dad means well. He wants the best for us. He does everything he can to provide for us, I know. But I can’t stand this anymore. I know he was probably kidding (sort of) when he said that money was his best friend but what am I supposed to...

[6-8/365] Cheating
I’m cheating on my 365 and cramming in a few days into one post :p.
Been an interesting and crazy few days. Went around the city doing lots of touristy things including a trip to the Met, Rockafeller Center, and Shack Shake (nommmm). Was a good day.
Also went to Kingsley’s house to celebrate the Pu-sisters’ birthdays :).
Good company and good eats.

[5/365] Accountability
Accountability.
An accountability partner keeps you accountable for your actions. Pretty simple.
But is that really all they do? Maybe what I’m seeking is community. Why is it that this past semester has felt so lonely? I’ve been surrounded by people who I love and care about and God has blessed me tremendously with so many amazing people. But when I needed to be yelled at or even...

[3/365] Family Matters
Dad: Brian, are you in 6th grade?
Brian: What? Yeah..
Dad: Are you scared of 7th graders? Do you know why 6th graders are scared of 7th graders?
Brian: What? Because they’re bigger
Dad: No. Because 7, 8, 9!
[silence]
Dad: 7 ate 8? the 7th graders ate.. the 9th graders?
LOLOL.
My parents are incredibly loving and they pour their lives into being able to provide resources and...

[2/365] Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
“There’s nothing to be feared from a body, Harry, any more than there is anything to be feared from the darkness. Lord Voldemort, who of course secretly fears both, disagrees. But once again he reveals his own lack of wisdom. It is unknown we fear when we look upon death and darkness, nothing more.”
I can’t believe I’m finding wisdom in Harry Potter. Interesting...

[1/365]: Introduction
I remember the first time I started blogging. A couple of my friends asked me why I made one when there didn’t seem to be a consistent theme and why I wanted them to join me. We’d just started college and I told them it felt like a good way to still be a part of one another’s lives—in the little ways.
Now that I’ve bounced around from blog to blog, I think...
