Beautiful things
I could talk about beautiful things forever... YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL! Every single one of us holds the most beauty somewhere inside of us. Sometimes we just need someone to show us.
I'm hurt this morning. Not terribly, but I can tell I'm a little stuck in some painful thoughts and it could get worse if I don't recognize that in this season of my life, I'm growing. I'm changing. I'm beautiful no matter who sees it or wants to be a part of my beauty.
It's a hurtful realization when friends no longer consider you... when they fail to recognize you are beautiful because now you are a little different than you were before. Maybe I failed them first, maybe I was the one who didn't want to be a part of them before they excluded me. I think I may have to admit, in my heart, that could be true. It has been a difficult year for relationships in my life. I have learned much, but I still need a few band-aids and a few more talks with God.

It will get better.
God's making us all new. It's a very painful process. It's pruning. Cutting off our dead limbs that don't bare fruit- What emerges is something much more fruitful and much more beautiful.
Really at this point, i feel god is the best best friend ever and really no 'man', or even best friend could take the place of jesus. I like the above written on being fruitful, it's gonna be the season of unceasing fruitfulness in all areas of our lives coming to pass as we have this confident expectation of good to come:)
What you need is a hug! Take this one.
I hope you feel better soon! It is very difficult when relationships grow and change, especially when the change isn't in a forward direction. Life causes some of this, it has a way of chafing away the things that are no longer needed and necessary. It still hurts to see them go, though.
Maybe you'll get some new people in your life, who understand. And see how cool you are, no matter what your differences.
I don't have any words of wisdom to pass along. I only know you have the exterior beauty, only you and God truly know if you have the inner beauty. In my limited experences with relationships, I feel they should never become work. When I feel that I'm working to make people happy, then I'm out. They need to like us for who we are, not who they can make us become. From my brief exchange with you regarding tattos and watching your vblogs, I personally feel you have a good heart and soul.
@jmallory - Thanks Mallory (I know your name is Jimmy, but I just always call you Mallory in my head instead, like in highschool where jocks are known by their last name).

@aSeriesofFortunateEvents - Yeah, I'm still trying to figure out what good will come of this, but I'm a little stuck for now... I still know it's part of the process and not to worry.
