I'll start with hello, I'm Robyn and I'm twenty. This blog is easily neglected until I have the sudden desire to straighten the confused thoughts that race through my mind, or keep thoughts of value for later, or inspire the stray reader that curiously stumbles upon said blog.

You've Got a Gypsy Soul to Blame And You Were Born For Leaving
I find that people come to me with their problems, concerns, prayers and fears. I love that. And I'm happy to help a n y o n e that comes.
Today was a good day : ) All too often I find it overwhelming. Why? I blame my heart...that might sound a tad cheesy, but I feel what others feel. and it's a beautiful thing.
I stand in complete awe when someone opens their heart to say what they're feeling or what's happening. The strength of a person never ceases to amaze me. The good in a single person is the definition of hope.
In many ways, these people have far more strength than I. And even when the depth of their hurt hits me and I am crushed under their burden..they have the courage to ask for help. Courage is strength in my books. And I would g l a d l y help them with what they can't handle on their own.
The most awful thing is to live in fear of saying the wrong thing. I have to say that I understand the power of a word. Although some words are forgotten, they're not always forgiven. And this is where I bring God into it. I offer my conversations, my sympathy, my words, all to Him who gives me the strength to help with the crosses others carry.
In your life, you're given the means by which to change a life. Don't ever waste that gift.

When There's Noone Left To Blame But Yourself
You seemed so sure of yourself. When we met in gym class I thought you were the most ballin' kid on the court. The kind of person I'd instantly want to become friends with.
So I pursued that friendship. It was the best. We killed ourselves laughing and did no work on a regular basis and we were okay with that. Your jokes, your stories, your funny faces..I cried laughing.
I cry for another reason now. Tears of joy are out of the question. The thing is, you've changed.
The drinking. The anger. The drugs. The people. The future. "Don't think, just let go."
It. kills. me.
I'm not really gonna accept "I grew up." No-you stopped fighting for what's good in life because, it got a little tough? It got a little shaky? You were never one to back down from a challenge. That's faith, girl. Come back, Superstar.

The girl that never stopped believing in you misses you.

Break My Heart For What Breaks Yours
Let love be genuine; hate what is evil, hold fast to what is good; love one another with mutual affection; outdo one another in showing honour. Do not lag in zeal, be ardent in spirit, serve the Lord. Rejoice in hope, be patient in suffering, persevere in prayer. Contribute to the needs of the saints; extend hospitality to strangers.
Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them. Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. Live in harmony with one another; do not claim to be wiser than you are. So not repay evil for evil, but take thought from what is noble in sight of all. If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all. Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave room for the wrath of God; for it is written, "Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord." No, "if your enemies are hungry, feed them; if they are thirsty, give them something to drink; for by doing this you will heap burning coals on their heads." Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.Romans 19: 9-22
