boot camp. it's real this time.
I’m not complete sure if everyone who has ever gone through a post grad experience can say the same, but I personally feel like it can be summed up in this picture.
I think this week was one of the worst weeks I have ever survived. Dramatic, yes. But coming from college to the real world is tough stuff. Everyone always said it was like boot camp, but I was only at the tip of the iceberg...

it's falling from the clouds
A strange and lovely sound is falling more than ever. I feel like everywhere I go, every page I turn, everything I see is filled with the truth of a God that loves. And whether you’re a Jesus freak or a drug-addict, you can’t help but admit that there is a strange glow and mystery to Christianity today. I do have a tendency to look very closely into things, maybe that has to do with...
why i am addicted: self-fulfilled prophecies
Moving back home after graduation was just about the worst thing that I could ever think of. I believe I recall thinking that it would be one of the hardest things I would be taking on. Boy, I was wrong.
In my mind it was like I was preparing for this:
Moving home and being in a long distance relationship = death of Deanna’s happiness.
I know it’s a little dramatic, but it really...

unlikely companions and friends
Graduation and the end of normal schooling marks the end of typical friendships and acquaintances that are the same age as you. I guess life can still be exciting after you thought that it was going to turn into a boring abyss.
you are a princess... just not that kind.
growing up, there was always a weird unspoken agreement among little girls around which princesses were better than others. There were some… that were obviously just not that likable, and the truth is it’s because they only cared about themselves. The ones that were loved and cherished were the ones that were wiling to make sacrifices, and hurt for their loved ones—even when it...

meaningful work
I filed papers for 4 hours at work today, and I wondered to myself about whether or not this action or even my work at my job was going to mean anything to anyone. As I was sitting there rubbing by fingers with a giant finger balm, my boss came downstairs and asked, “well, isn’t it nice to do some mindless work sometimes?”
So, after four years of academic work and enslavement, I...

decisions will be the death of me...
I just read lengthy details on overcoming serious indecisiveness, and I’ve come to the conclusion that EVERYONE must have this problem to some sort of extent.
some of the means in which people avoid making serious decisions are:
Recourse to someone or even something else: Examples are astrology (not astronomy which is a science), palm readings, looking up at stars, dialing 1-900...

I just spent the longest hour of my life carefully putting together my resume and cover letter for a job that would have made me happy. then… technology came in and sent my application to the recruiter before I could even attach my resume or my cover letter. then… it said that I had withdrawn it. sigh.
I sure do miss handing in actual paper applications.
faithless is he who says farewell when the road darkens.
There’s distraction buzzing in my head saying in the shadows it’s easier to stay but I’ve heard rumours of true reality whispers of a well-lit way

“Some of the biggest challenges in relationships come from the fact that most people enter a relationship in order to get something. They’re trying to find someone who’s going to make them feel good. In reality, the only way a relationship will last is if you see your relationship as a place that you go to give, and not a place that you go to take.”

the darkness inside hides the true size of fears and lies and regrets. the truth is they are more shadow than reality, so they seem bigger in the dark. when the light shines into the places where they live inside you, you start to see them for what they are. we believe it’s safer there. and,…

I’m not scared of many things… but when I am scared of something, I am terrified. And all of my life, I have been deathly afraid of heights and most forms of pain. This past President’s day weekend was dedicated to a trip to Big Bear with some good friends and if someone were to ask me to sum up the weekend in one word, I would have absolutely nothing for them. It was insane to...

So then, good morning,...

You were on your way home when you died.
It was a car accident. Nothing particularly remarkable, but fatal nonetheless. You left behind a wife and two children. It was a painless death. The EMTs tried their best to save you, but to no avail. Your body was so utterly shattered you…
18 and kneady
my fate at 18: leave one bakery to go working at another. these were my bakery days: experimenting in a bakery with a good friend when the head chef left. with lots of laughs and sugar (not to mention epic failures), we managed to pop out some of these things :)
(fruit tarts, cream puffs and tiramisu :o))

good times
i just realized how good it has been, and i’ve decided that tonight will be dedicated to all of the good times.
i’ve been so wrapped up in how hard and painful it had been, that i totally didn’t realize how AWESOME it was.
*raises glass*
sucess...is how you view failure
so, i didn’t get the first job that i’ve applied for in preparation for my post-grad life in a few months…but surprisingly, it’s a lot easier to take than i thought. i pretty much logged into the Human Resources page to check the status of my application, and all it simply said was, “Others Stronger.” Moments later, my boss called me upstairs and she and her...
