"No, life cannot be understood flat on a page. It has to be lived; a person has to get out of his head, has to fall in love, has to memorize poems, has to jump off bridges into rivers, has to stand in an empty desert and whisper sonnets under his breath... We get one story, you and I, and one story alone. God has established the elements, the setting and the climax and resolution. It would be a crime not to venture out, wouldn't it?"

2010

Friday, December 31, 2010

Every year, I do a New Year’s 100 Resolutions list for things to live by that I try to accomplish within the year.

This year, I lost my sheet.

Whoops

But it's okay, I still made some awesome memories.

With that being said, here are a few memories I have acquired the past year:

Þ Having God discussions while watching the sunrise on the beach

Þ Moonlit skinny-dipping

Þ Sleeping in the middle of Alumni Park in a tent

Þ Roadtrips to Kentucky, South Carolina, New York and Pennslyvania with awesome people

Þ Potlucks, my favorite thing ever

Þ Seeing old friends, and realizing that we're still friends after all this time

Þ Drinking tea and pondering life with good friends

Þ Sleepovers...with lots of giggling involved

Þ Canoeing down the Duck River and pretending to be in Lord of the Rings

Þ Camping out in downtown Chattanooga in a Box City

Þ Watching thunderstorms

Þ Hiking

Þ Bonding with my roommates in God’s country, Gatlinburg, TN

Þ Sleeping out under the stars

Þ Seeing beautiful people get married

P.s. I didn't take this picture but this fantastic lady did!

Þ Laughing so hard I cried

Þ Crying for the first time since God knows when

Þ Crying more than once in a year

Þ Being part of a suicide hotline and talking to great people

Þ Creating beautiful art

Friends, let's make more memories next year, shall we?
