Never Grow Up...

I had this "I don't want to get older because i'm having such a great time now...i know i'll miss NOW so baaaaaaadly" phase.

19 “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. 20 But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

Matthew 6:19-21

I think I am waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too attached to my life on earth.

  1. Am i reading this right now?

    for real?

    like... 30 minutes ago i was on the lonely bus ride home, thinking to myself... "wow, i am wayyyyy too attached to my life on earth"

    i was kinda upset because today i bought something i really didn't need... and i LOST IT. right after i bought it. i don't even know what happened. anyway it's no biggie, it didn't cost a lot but still i was kinda angry with myself and my stupidity/dans-la-lune-ness.

    but...you learn from your mistakes! --> must grow up.
