alphabet only
I'm a nerd. I am an absolute nerd. I scanned the alphabet in my own handwriting so that I could use it for designs.
So... 7 months and a day since my last post. 7... it's completion. 7 months ago I sat here at this same computer and same sticky, near broken keyboard that I've had since 6th grade... and I was a different person.
I needed a break... I guess. I forget how it feels to feel... or how it feels to feel a certain way. Some days I think it's good... other days I know I left a second love, but have not yet returned to the first.
I want to feel again... love again... write again. I sit here now writing choppy phrases that mean nothing to most. I've become more of a rational mastermind, computer geek, analytical pessimist, math brain... whatever you want to call it. I'm different and I don't know if I like it. I'm growing up and I don't know if I like that either. Where is the girl who dreamt of ..... where is the girl who dreamt? at all?
I used to write pages a day. My journal now is kept for strictly notes... when i have time to take them... when I'm not lost behind a computer and projector.
I need some scribbles in my life...some real life crossed out, hand-written words.... but...
all I can manage is an alphabet.

I love you, charlotte. I think you're amazing. I'm pretty positive God thinks so too. Seasons of life come and all too quickly pass, but God's love for you remains constant and you are indeed going from glory to glory.

Beautifully written!
You'll dream again. :o)
To my experience though, dreaming comes first when one has had enough time on their hands to be bored. Boredome is the inevitable transit from one state of mind to another, from one dream to the next. I think...

Charlotte,
I totally can feel you on the wanting to dream again and where is that person who. . . yeah - we look back in life and think upon how grand it was, and we wish we had done this, or didn't do that. I'm not sure I'd agree with dreaming coming forth from boredom. What I do think though is when we are ready, and God is ready we will be dreaming. Also, this may sound silly, but we also need to make time to dream. Just like we make time for God, just like we make time to sleep and eat. If we want to dream like we once dreamt, we also need to allot a time investment so that we can dream! We get so busy and distracted with the world and with everything moving so fast around us that we don't have time to dream anymore!!
