I was surprised these shorts still fit! I haven’t worn them in a year and I’ve gained like 15 pounds _:(´ཀ`」 ∠):
I had a lot of fun at Anime Central this year, and I’m already planning for next year! This was my Friday look and I’ll post the rest of my looks in the coming days!
Shirt and belt are d.i.a. (*^ω^*)
At age 23, Tina Fey was working at a YMCA. At age 23, Oprah was fired from her first reporting job. At age 24, Stephen King was working as a janitor and living in a trailer.
At age 27, Vincent Van Gogh failed as a missionary and decided to go to art school. At age 28, J.K. Rowling was a suicidal single parent living on welfare.
At age 28, Wayne Coyne ( from The Flaming Lips) was a fry cook. At age 30, Harrison Ford was a carpenter. At age 30, Martha Stewart was a stockbroker. At age 37, Ang Lee was a stay-at-home-dad working odd jobs. Julia Child released her first cookbook at age 39, and got her own cooking show at age 51. Vera Wang failed to make the Olympic figure skating team, didn’t get the Editor-in-Chief position at Vogue, and designed her first dress at age 40. Stan Lee didn’t release his first big comic book until he was 40. Alan Rickman gave up his graphic design career and landed his first movie role at age 42. Samuel L. Jackson didn’t get his first major movie role until he was 46.
Morgan Freeman landed his first major movie role at age 52. Kathryn Bigelow won the Academy Award for Best Director when she made The Hurt Locker at age 57. Grandma Moses didn’t begin her painting career until age 76. Louise Bourgeois didn’t become a famous artist until she was 78. Whatever your dream is, it is not too late to achieve it. You aren’t a failure because you haven’t found fame and fortune by the age of 21. Hell, it’s okay if you don’t even know what your dream is yet. Even if you’re flipping burgers, waiting tables or answering phones today, you never know where you’ll end up tomorrow. Never tell yourself you’re too old to make it.
Never tell yourself you missed your chance.
Never tell yourself that you aren’t good enough.
You can do it. Whatever it is.

I love this so much
Work.
My mind is not focused.
I just realized my Instagram was set to private….
Recently, I feel like God has been saying “work.” Lately, there have been a lot of songs talking about work, so that’s an interesting coincidence. When I was a child, I thought I could do anything. I worked really hard to beat video games, self teach ballet and gymnastics (um not a good idea), write, draw, play piano, the list goes on. Since high school, however, I have given up easily. I don’t know what caused this. Maybe the fact that I knew I could give up easily because no one would push me to continue. I did that with dance, with track, with guitar, with piano, with saxophone, with Spanish, so many things, and each time I quit something, I was never told not to. The only thing I was told not to quit was college, and for that I am grateful. So you can imagine what kind of mindset that instills in a young person. I believed, if I want to quit, if it gets hard, it’s okay. Quit. Instead of working for what I wanted, I would sit and dream about it. Or if it was something that I could naturally do well, I would continue (or if my grade/pay depended on it). I started to believe I just couldn’t do the things I wanted, because if I could, I’d be able to do them. I wouldn’t have to work that hard for it. That’s a lie.
When I look back to how I got good at piano, I practiced every day for hours and hours. When I remember how I lost all that weight and got a six pack (now no longer with us), I remember a lot of sweat every day and sometimes not eating what I wanted. When I think about how I was able to catch up in Japanese class, and become one of the best students, when everybody else had been taking it longer than I had, it was because of staying up a little later at night and repeating vocabulary over and over again. And recently, with singing, the only reason I’ve gotten to where I am now is because almost every day, even when I didn’t want to, even when it seemed like no one thought I sounded good or no one “liked” me on Instagram, I sang anyway. None of the things I really wanted ever came easy. Why did I ever forget that?
Sometimes I think, well God will do it for me. This is so embarrassing. Yes, God will give us the desires of our heart if we delight in him. Yes, the joy of the Lord is our strength. Yes, we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us. But notice that in all of this, we have to do something, too. We have to take some steps. We have to work. Not in our own strength. That’s why he gives us strength to get up and start moving.
Nothing will happen if we sit back and wait. We need to work. Work for God’s glory. Work because of what he’s done for us. Work because of how amazing he is. We can’t only work if it’s for money or for a grade. We must work even when no one is watching. I just thought of the Parable of the Talents (Matthew 25:14-30). Sometimes I feel like the guy with the one talent, who buried it in the ground. He did nothing with it. I want to be like the guy with five, who received one-hundred fold back. He who is trusted with little can be trusted with much.
I don’t want to settle. I don’t want to wait around for something to fall into my lap. I want to receive more than one-hundred fold back. I want to work, praising God for all that he’s done in the midst of it all.
Amen! I needed to hear this :God used you to speak to me....i really take Him for granted :( i will surely Work!!

“Today is my 100 day anniversary with my girlfriend. Honestly, it’s a bit embarrassing waiting with a flower in a place with lots of people. Still, my feelings for my girlfriend are much bigger than that feeling…”
