Ok.... So.... Crying sucks. It makes your head pound, eyes all puffy, and there is so much fluid coming out of everywhere you don't know what to do. Oh, and don't forget the thing that you are crying about. That is like a whole other league of symptoms that attack your heart so viciously that all you can do is fall to your knees and beg God for comfort. He is usually pretty good about giving it. But what happens when there is no comfort? When there are just questions without answers. Falling asleep still crying instead of with a smile. Wishing that your dreams will bring some sort of closure or comfort. What happens then? Is God still there? Sometimes, I have a hard time believing he still is. Sometimes, I don't "feel" his presence. Sometimes, I feel utterly alone. I know that as a long time Christian, God is always there with us. Guiding and helping us through whatever we are leaning on him for. But it is hard. I want that physical comfort to come...
My name is Celisse and I love a lot of things but mostly I love being myself. I love exploring what that means in the different communities that mean so much to me. Higher education has shaped a lot of who I am and I have learned so much about myself and the world around me.
