I feel lonely and angry.
I'm tired of being by myself all of the time. I'm tired of being dependent on people, not knowing how the world works.
I'm tired of preachers who talk about nothing but behavior and what a 'true Christian' looks like. Have a dose of your own 'medicine'.
I hate Christian songs that remind me of all of the anxiety I went through just a few years ago as a believer. I hate songs that say "I will worship" or "I will do this and that". Then worship already and quit boasting about it.
I'm short and my balance is fragile. I don't think I will ever feel as though I am a man here on this earth.
I want to be selfish right now and I don't care.
I'm a Christian with a solid faith in Christ's finished work. That faith is constantly given to me as a gift by God, but I still get sad and angry and frustrated with this current life.
For the first few years as a Christian, I tried to change my behavior and even my personality, but I'm sick of all of the tweaking and correcting. I need to be loved as I am and not as I feel I should be. For too long I have believed that it was okay for others to receive unconditional love from God, but that it was selfish for me to believe in it. Allow me to indulge for just a while. I don't care if the world thinks I'm a bad Christian for it.

I'm tired and distracted.
I'm worn out from an old mentality that is repulsive to me now. The thought of even trying to do anything is nauseating and tiresome.
I need a job. I need to take care of myself.
"Deliver me from sinking in the mire...
Let not the flood sweep over me,
or the deep swallow me up,
or the pit close its mouth over me.
Answer me, Yahweh, for your steadfast love is good; according to your abundant mercy, turn to me. Hide not your face from your son; for I am in distress; make haste to answer me."

I'm not the person I imagine myself to be.
I feel so vulnerable and weak.
I don't know everything.
I don't know much at all.
I'm not all that wise.
I'm just a kid.
There are so many times I want my Father, but I run to broken cisterns.

There are so many times I want my Father, but I run to broken cisterns.
It isn't a guilt thing. I just wish I always chose what I really and truly desired.
It's strange. Sometimes I desire my relationships here on earth so bad, but I also desire to be with Him.
I feel pulled apart at the moment. I'm just writing for the sake of saying how I feel.
