| I just finished posting up pictures around the room I recently moved into, and I came to the realization that I want to be surrounded by joy all of my life. I haven't always pursued joy.. I've pursued a lot of other things, but I haven't pursued joy always.
I think joy for me has something to do with community, something to do with faith, something to do with dieing to selfish ambition, as well as freeing myself from the bondage of seeking false securities. Life is a blip on the time-line of life and I want to always be reminding myself to seek things that are meaningful.
