"You're only [insert age here], you're still young"

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

What a patronizing thing to say. It may not always be the intention, but it's like passive-agressively telling someone that their feelings and problems aren't important. I don't personally get this a lot, but overhear it being said to other people all the time -- whether it's about school, work, dating, pimples, unicorns, or whatever. It's thinly-veiled politespeak for "you'll get over it" or "get off my lawn, lousy kids". Just rubs me the wrong way. Like sandpaper underwear.

I'm 19 right now. It's not a very big number (I am old enough to know how to count to 20). But still, it's the oldest I've ever been, you know?

Tim Be Told


please please listen to these two songs...
the first one, i was told was written because he had a disease that was going to take away his voice (correct me if Im wrong?)...and he was angry with God...but at the end he changes his mind and says that God is good

this second one...ugh made me cry when listening to it.
i really really detest with a passion the idea of rape...and child soldiers....all this injustice i hate it so so much.
sometimes i ask God why He would put me in such a messed up world where there is so much pain and injustice
i realise that i am here for a reason..that i am not just born to die. There must be something that i can, maybe little, but still something...anyway, please listen to it!

Blessings - Laura Story


'Cause what if your blessings come through raindrops
What if Your healing comes through tears
What if a thousand sleepless nights are what it takes to know You're near
What if trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise
