awkward and amazing

Soooo sometimes my life is super awkward.
Then other times its super amazing.
Occasionally its awkwardly amazing
But its mainly just amazingly awkward.

Let's be real here though, isn't it the awkward moments that make your life the greatest?




Do you ever just get so excited about life that you want to scream?
Do you ever want to heel click or fist pump because life is just that good?
Do you ever "eeeeekkkkk" in the car by yourself because you're just so happy you're alive?
Do you ever stay up until 1:50 am just to write a blog about it?

(If you answered no to any of those questions I would probably say "ohhh yeah me neither. That would be weird")

“I want a life that sizzles and pops and makes me laugh out loud. And I don't want to get to the end, or to tomorrow, even, and realize that my life is a collection of meetings and pop cans and errands and receipts and dirty dishes. I want to eat cold tangerines and sing out loud in the car with the windows open and wear pink shoes and stay up all night laughing and paint my walls the exact color of the sky right now. I want to sleep hard on clean white sheets and throw parties and eat ripe tomatoes and read books so good they make me jump up and down, and I want my everyday to make God belly laugh, glad that he gave life to someone who loves the gift.” - Shauna Niequist
