It's been too long...

Of having that feeling of contentment in my life. This past weekend was probably the most amazing weekend in my life. Yeah, I have been on a retreat before.. but that was before I went through probably the hardest struggles I've ever had to face. Just listening to people talk about their struggles made me realize that not only that I have it so much easier than most people, but nonetheless all of our problems we have are all so similar in one way or another. I can't even begin to explain how incredible this weekend was.. Seeing each and every one of us show how vulnerable we actually are and not trying to hide behind all the "toughness" and "invincibility".. that is just completely and utterly impossible hahah. For the past couple of years, I have made no effort in making Jesus part of my life, even at the least. I mean, I might have said it, but I'm really going to try to mean it this time. Yesterday at mass felt so amazing.. getting the Eucharist and actually feeling like I deserved it after almost two years of not going to confession. Rachel told us when we come back, the temptations are going to come back twice as strong and I can already feel that. No doubt though, today was probably one of the happiest days haha.. I was "radiating" as some people told me today. But I'm glad! It's that Jesus glow yo! ;D Hahahah.. lame. Oh man.. I'm just so happy right now. I'm going to try and pray my hardest for this "high" to last for forever! Or at least start making better choices than I have been making lately.. Mmm fresh new slate.. I love it <3



LOVE IS HERE, LOVE IS NOW.
