A Future of Forgiveness
I was reading a book today and something incredible happened: a line clicked for me that may just be a game changer. You see, I've been living life as if I do not need a boyfriend or husband, uninterested in the tradition that is marriage. A guesstimated seventy percent of that decision is because of brokenness that I still have from my parents' divorce. A divorce that happened long ago. A divorce that I thought I had moved on from and in light of recent events, realized that I was still dealing with. A divorce that deserves a different story than the one I am here to tell today.

When Christmas Isn't Christmas Anymore
Let me start by breaking this down for you This is not a story about how Christ has been taken out of CHRISTmas—although there is a story to be had there. I am writing this as an advocate for the people who are too young to understand or are too scared to have a voice. I am tired of crying about it and need to put it into words instead, please don't feel sorry for me. Instead, evaluate how you are handling these situations if they pertain to you and save someone else the same heartache.

It Matters
I've started this article many times, always deciding I don't have the words to do justice to the feelings, therefore erasing it from my computer and mind. The fact is, these things keep coming up and every time I'm reminded that it needs to be dealt with, it needs to be addressed. But, how do I explain all of the ways that my life was different and why it mattered. How does that matter for the people reading it? The fact is, it needs to be talked about because life is real, love is real, hurt is real. It matters, it effects your life and it can't be dismissed like it didn't shape your life.
