<p><p><p><p><p>Hey'a Sky!~ What's up?</p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p>Persevere. There is still hope in this darkness. Pick up the shattered pieces. You, you are <em>not</em> a failure.</p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p>Hey, no prob. <img src="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/wink.png" alt=";)" srcset="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/wink@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20" /> She's so cute <3</p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p>Loving the new avatar, mon ami. :]</p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p>You are the one who chose to stay.</p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p>Quit while you're ahead. Because as I stand, I have family and friends ahead of me in this school. I have friends who know the people around in my class. I have insight on most everyone here, whether or not they know it. I am not here for intimacy, I am here to learn. I have the support of two hundred loving people here, and that's enough for me. I am here for academic achievement, and to better lose myself in Jesus...</p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p>I am here to become a servant leader. That's that.</p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p>*raises hands in surrender* If you say so.</p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p>*laughs* I haven't used a thing against you.</p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p>Glad to hear it :]</p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p>Things are great. College is sweet, people are fun, opportunities are continually arising...Life is awesome right now. (Medication does wonders! <3)</p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p>Hey Sheimi, how are you?</p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p>Wraith, your blue font in your sig on Ho-oh kills the eyes! D:</p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p>I could, but we're both broke. I need to buy groceries and dress pants now...I'm like asdfghjkl; NO MONIES. D:</p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p>Shopping is only worse when it's your own money and you're a poor college student. I had to buy a lightbulb for my bedside lamp and nearly cried at having to spend $6 yesterday! <img src="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/laugh.png" alt="xD" srcset="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/laugh@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20" /></p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p>You took out The in your name?</p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p>Alright then. You're the only one hindering your progression forward, because I told you what should come next...and you're still refusing to do it.</p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p>That's because I don't know. I'm so confused and overloaded right now that I don't have the time to stop and think things over. They just need to happen.</p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p>Because having responsibilities is so hard.</p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p>Nothing, my friend. Unless you include the fact that I am now a HopeCoach.</p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p>Go ahead and assume, then, because truth is often ugly anyways. I don't really know why I've chosen you as helper...you just are.</p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p>You shouldn't worry about it.</p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p>Yes and no. No matter who it is, it is much harder to talk about matters of the heart in reality. Why do you think my parents wanted to murder me? And my friends? It's phenomenally easier to discuss it online!</p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p>It is different because I am a girl and you are a guy and we are from different countries with different stigmas on the act of such a thing......</p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p>Yes.</p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p>As John Cooper said:</p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p>"Typically I don’t write in a way where a song can have an open ended interpretation, but this is a song about loss and can be applied to a whole range of situations. It has a gist of regret where you wish you had done things differently and it could be about mourning the loss of someone who died or a relationship. It seems sad, but it’s strangely hopeful because it gives off the idea that you can change your life right here and now – you have been given a second chance so you can remember to live and love with no regrets."</p></p></p></p></p>
