For those of you who criticize Janelle’s signature monochromatic look. From her speech on “Black Girls Rock”:“When I started my music career, I was a maid. I used to clean houses. My mother was a proud janitor. My stepfather, who raised me like his very own, worked at the post office and my father was a trashman. They all wore uniforms and that’s why I stand here today, in my black and white, and I wear my uniform to honor them.This is a reminder that I have work to do. I have people to uplift. I have people to inspire. And today, I wear my uniform proudly as a Cover Girl. I want to be clear, young girls, I didn’t have to change who I was to become a Cover Girl. I didn’t have to become perfect because I’ve learned throughout my journey that perfection is the enemy of greatness.Embrace what makes you unique, even if it makes others uncomfortable.” - Janelle Monáe

Wow. I loved her before, but wow.

Mostly when I think about this scene in Gilmore Girls I think about sobbing buckets, because that’s what happened the first time I saw it.

Moriah

We’ve been talking about this a lot in RUF - Moriah meaning “God provides”.

It’s been a hard year. Not just “I’m a senior and I’m graduating and I have to figure what’s next” hard (and that’s REALLY hard), but “I’m a senior and I’m graduating and I have to figure out what’s next and I’m experiencing more depression than I have in my life previously and some of the people that have been closest to me for the past few or a lot of years are physically or emotionally distant, or both, and how do you do this ‘romantic relationship’ thing and I JUST DON’T WANT TO DO WORK ANYMORE” hard.

But God provides. and even though i haven’t trusted that He would because i’ve been so afraid, He has anyway.

Today I was so weary of many elements of life. My day didn’t really end up the way I thought it would, or had planned, and I haven’t been sleeping well, and I have been craving rest.

i had the comfort of home friends tonight. I had the luxury of hours alone. i talked to one of the aforementioned physically/emotionally distant friends who I hadn’t spoken with in eight months and i believed didn’t want to be my friend anymore. It was GREAT - he was able to tell me about how awesome his life has been and how much he’s learned, and i was able to share in that joy.

Many elements of life next year are going to be difficult, but i already have a place to live, a family to live with, and a Pita Pit in the city where i’ll be living (i’m only a little obsessed).

i am learning more about myself and taking care of myself. i feel so taken care of by God tonight. and that feels so good. i’m not good at being vulnerable, but i recognize that it is important in this whole “not isolating oneself and living in community with other people because we all live in the world and can make life way more enjoyable if we let each other in” way of life.

i’m cared for and loved. i’m working on letting people in that didn’t know me when i was just getting into Jimmy Eat World, while embracing and clinging to the comfort of those who did. it’s hard. but it’s good. i am cared for and loved.

or like all the time. I’m kind of the anti-bra.

I can’t concentrate on homework because of feelings

and therefore am blogging instead and then going to bed.

Real life is happening so fast! And that’s so crazy.

Today I got to spend several hours with one of my best and oldest friends and her amazing and wonderful boyfriend. I LOVE THEM BOTH SO MUCH I SERIOUSLY FEEL LIKE I’M EXPLODING. EXPLOSIONS. Also, I got to have dinner with 2 other good (great!) friends and long-distance girlfriend and THERE IS JUST SO MUCH LOVE IN ALL OF THAT, in old friendships, romantic relationships, in making new friends. It’s so GREAT and beautiful.

I talked to the people who I will most likely be living with next year last night. I’ll be living with a good friend’s family and talking to them was great and also a little intimidating - I really want them to like me!! I am SO appreciative of them. I was talking to the dad last night and trying to adequately express my appreciation without stumbling over my words too much, and he said “You know, God has blessed us so much and we have so much to give others that we’re happy to have you stay with us. You can tell your parents you’ll be safe here. We’ll look out for you. If our daughters are in similar places in the future, we’d want someone to do the same for them.” I almost lost it. It was so great. I AM SO THANKFUL, GOD WORKS IN AMAZING AND BEAUTIFUL WAYS and I’m excited about next year, I really am.

I’m so thankful that 11 months ago I had a conversation with a wonderful human that ended with “so we’re going to try to date?” “yes”. 11 months is a lot of months and almost a year! I had no expectations going into it, and in so many ways this has been incredible and wonderful 11 months. I’ve learned a lot about vulnerability, trust (in others and in God), what a different kind of love looks like, and many other things that go along with that. I wouldn’t have believed you if you had told me that all of these things would happen even at this time last year. But they have been great things, hard things in some ways, but great. and definitely super beautiful.

When people say “everyone’s a little bit racist” like it’s an excuse

It really bothers me. Okay, first of all, just because Avenue Q sang a song about it does not make it true.

Second of all, if you are aware of your racism FIGHT AGAINST IT. You aren’t helpless to it. Yeah, you may be a product of society, but if you have an awareness of it, then you have no excuse to continue to subscribing to something you KNOW is wrong. If “everyone is a little bit racist” and no one does anything about it, then it continues and that’s NOT OKAY in the slightest.

You can change those things. You don’t have to continue thinking that way. Humans are humans and that is that.
