i want to spend the rest of my life alive.

there are broken parts in everyone. i think we learn more about our broken parts the more we invest in relationships.  as i intentionally invest in people, i am really beginning to feel the wounds that have not healed, the fears that pervade my mind and hold me back.  i am beginning to see...sometimes i really don't know what the hell i am doing, and where i belong. but i am also seeing that a lot of people feel this way.  in fact a lot of our brokenness is similar. we have a lot of the same fears. we can really understand and relate to one another! why do we hold back so much? why are we so afraid? all of this crap keeps us from living...from really being alive.
