deep doughts

Growing older causes me to grow afraid of the world's opinion. A fear crushing my beliefs, a penchant for acceptance, a distant feel toward the explicit. A fear of losing the love of those around you, a fear of losing the hellos and goodbyes, a fear of losing your grip on the rock, where the prize stands alone at the top. Over and over this happens, but I must always remind myself that my identity does not reside in the world or any of its entities, but that my identity resides in Christ  -garlic
