a thought medley...

Must everything become a stereotype?
Must everything become a trend?
Obama has become a trend. He is no longer a human being, but a fad.
"Going Green" has become fashionable and cool. But nobody really cares about the environment.
Eating organically has become the new thing to do, as it's thought of as sort of going back to an all-natural state, untouched by humans. Too bad a lot of organic food is uber expensive, and only purchased by middle to upper class white Americans.

I am not at all a religious person, but i always looked at Christians with a sort of hope. However, my thoughts are definitely changing. All the churches around me change with the times. Whatever is trendy, whatever is cool right now, becomes their way in to sell their God to people. To me, if God is real, he doesn't change. And so his church on earth should not change either. A lot of my Christian friends try to get me to go to their youth groups. I've gone a few times. All i remember is lots of free food, loud music with smoke and flashing lights, pool tables, thousands of teens, and people winning iPods. Cool. What's the newest trend going to be?

Obama won the election! I'm happy about having our first black president elected, although i don't think skin color is important.

i just want to throw up. yay for bulimia.

where is my mind

i think i found the cross in my piano

and i think i might have seen it outside

i can see the cross in the trees and in the skies

i saw it on your face and in your eyes

and i saw it in the tears of the people

and i'll never know their names

but i saw it clearly in the wind

it's a shame you never came

because i heard the cross in the song

and you met me where i was--outside of time

outside of right,

outside of wrong,

i think i belong

here

i know i do

i don't understand

anything about you

but i'm okay with mystery

i don't want to know it all

a child-like mind would be just fine

i hear the voices call

oh, the beauty i see in you

is like nothing i've ever found

please don't leave me alone here

i like having you around

i can't face the sunset alone

because all the sunsets go

the sky is way up high

but sun comes down so low

your love for me is perfect

your love for me is strange

oh, you ever-lasting sunset

but i know you never change

and thank you

for that

i think that you are gold

and music is gold too

i guess you've already shown

me what to do

and though the sunset fades

your love burns eternal in my sky

you're made up of so many shades

i am a stranger, and so i cry

the earth is so beautiful right now. today the sun was shining gloriously and my sister was home and everything outside was green and gold and perfect. but she's gone now.

and so i only threw up my lunch today.

my freshman year's almost up. i am ACHING for summer, but i don't want to be a sophomore. and summer flies by so fast, and i usually end up wasting most of it. and school comes too soon, stealing all my happiness. and then we all get back into the cycle of our so-called lives.

i have realized that a person really can't live unless they have something to die for. what would i die for?

quiet diet

i havent thrown up today! for me, that's doing pretty good. too bad i probably will before the day is done. i really want to tell someone about my problem but i just can't. sometimes i get so close to telling someone, but then i just stop.

if i told my mom, she would freak out and make a big deal out of it. she would take the blame for it and she would think it was her fault that i am the way i am. and she already gets suspicious when i "forget my lunch" or when i skip meals. i just couldn't do that to her- i mean, she's already been through it with one kid. she would be too sad.

if i told my dad he might get mad for lying to him about the time he found my vomit in the sink (i know it's disgusting and i really hate myself for doing this). i made up a story and he's never asked about it since. i wouldn't want him to lose his faith in me.

if i told my brother he would be really great about it, but because he's such a good person, he might tell mom and dad, and i can't have that happening.

my sisters live up north, because that's where their college is.
if i told my oldest sister she would also be really great about it, but i don't want her to think i'm just some shallow teenager who wants to lose weight or something. i really wouldn't be able to take that.

my other sister already knows a bit. i told her that i had a food issue, and she was very understanding. you see, she was anorexic when she was nine so she's already been where i am, even though my problem is slightly different. but i don't want to freak her out. she has enough stuff to deal with.

i just don't want anyone to worry about me. but i feel so selfish because i want people to help me and feel sorry for me! how stupid is that? it's my own fault that i have an eating disorder.
oh gross. the words "eating disorder" make me feel sick. do i really have one? i'm just a girl who throws up alot after meals. does that really qualify? it's only been going on for about five months. no, it started before that.
oh, but now my stomach hurts so bad because i haven't thrown up! how did i let myself get to this point? but i can stop. i know i can. somedays are just harder than others.
i just wish my mind could go back to how it was before i was bulimic. i never remember caring about stuff like this back then! and i was so free. now i feel trapped like i'm chained to this horrible monster trying to devour me. haha, my analogies are pretty great. well, i'm kind of rambling but i need to get this out.

I HATE BULIMIA. why am i adding to this hateful world by choosing to vomit up all my food?
but how can i stop...?

if my friends at school knew about this they would probably disown me. because "christians" don't have eating disorders and "christians" are never depressed and if i was only the "christian" i should be, i wouldn't have this problem!
i cringe just thinking at their reactions. but who knows? they might be sympathetic. but they'd treat me like i was some poor lost soul who just hasn't "seen the light of Jesus "yet. whatever. oh, why am i saying that about my friends? they're all great people and i love them.

i really need to talk to someone about this. i wish i could just leave the world for awhile. i'm not talking about suicide. i just want to leave the world for like, say, a few hours.
i need help. i really do.

The Random Thoughts of a 15 year old Bulimic Girl Seeking the Truth

So i should be doing my geometry homework right now. Oh yeah, and i have that science summary to do. Oh well, those things will just have to wait.
So i'm a fifteen-year-old girl. I'm wierd. Or is it weird? i never know how to spell it. (i guess i just proved my point.) ha. Well, I am pretty much sick of this world.
I live in the south, which i'm not exactly a big fan of, since i was born in a different state and i love the north. but whatever, i know i'm here for a reason.
i go to an EXTREMELY small private Christian school, GWS. not what i call the ideal place for education, since everyone here pretty much has the same narrow-minded ideas. But what are we here for? to love. even when it sucks.
i'm very different from people here. my ideas are kind of bizarre to them.

i don't know.

everyone at my school says they are christians. what is a christian? "someone who has accepted Jesus as their personal Lord and Savior" < that's like their perfectly scripted answer. What does that even mean? is it different for everyone? the same? it's just so vague.

i am on a mission to find Truth, wherever it may be.

i feel like there's something we're all missing, but what is it? i have yet to find that out.
