my eyes are wet and my pillow has mascara on it. homesick.
- . me .
- You ever watch a movie and think…I wish life could be just like that? You see the little things in the character’s lives and wonder why yours isn’t that way. Well it is. Just look around. I could be in a movie right now. I’m sitting at the counter on a high bar stool. I’m wearing jeans, gray converse, and a plaid red jacket that used to be my dad’s. My hair is down and wavy in some spots from the braid it was in. Typing on my computer. Homework book opened in front of me. Daffodils in a bowl stand to the right. They’re not looking as hot as they were a couple days ago. Backpack, keys, apron, and cell are spread out on the counter. Music plays from my laptop. It’s like a soundtrack to my life. I can see out the dining room window. It’s dark except for the city lights. I’m supposed to be doing homework. But my mind wanders. See? I could be in a movie. I’d make an interesting character with my funny outfit. Who knows what has been happening in the plot to make this moment interesting. But there’s a bigger story. I can’t help wonder what it is.

Kaisha ... I know this won't really help, but I know exactly how you feel ... even two years later, I still can get choked up at the sound of a song or the smell of my journal that reminds me of Capernwray (or looking at your pictures!!). So crazy how two months spent at this amazing place can so completely capture your heart ...
Aww, sorry dearie. I know it was an incredible experience. Hope the Lord offers grace and guidance for your future.
