vent session

i'm so over this stage of my life... i'm ready to be done with cpcc and out of my parents house. i'm honestly ready to start becoming an adult. i still feel like my parents look at me like i'm 17... at least that's how old i feel when i'm talking to them. anyways... i'm just venting because i'm tired of living at home and i want my tattoo and the freedom to do what i want and not worry if they agree or not. it's hard when you have different convictions than your parents.

i hate not having answers for my friends who ask the hard questions. i hate not knowing the bible as well as i need to. i hate that people make "religion" as complicated and difficult as it is. i hate not having the words to express the passion i have in my heart about God. i hate that good people die and go to hell and bad people go to heaven. i try so hard to make all this make sense to the agnostics, athiests, non-believers. i try to make it real and genuine and break that nasty pre-conceived idea of who christians are. i honestly hesitate telling people i'm a Christian sometimes because i know what they're going to think of me. it's not that i care about what they think of me... it's that it bothers me that that is what they think Christians are like. i hope that my life breaks that mold and that i'm truly different from that idea. i don't want to be fake, i want to be genuine. i don't want to be cliche and dorky, i want to be real. i don't want to hide my true thoughts on life because i might offend someone...... i want people to hear and know Truth.

i really need to get away for a little bit. i think i'm going to go swim... i'd love to go ride my bike... but i need to get the tires and chain changed... they're in rough shape.
