Just kidding. 😸
Or am I?😼
Oh, yeah...I discovered a cat face. Bahaha!
Sigh...Here's my post...😪 (gonna go back on all my post and add smilies hehe)


April 30th

Hey it's me. Your friendly neighborhood Mikayla. I decided to go for a nice sundown walk in the brisk evening air that finally arrived this afternoon, springs last cold spell. 
Before a began this walk I looked depressingly along the street I live on and sighed knowing this walk has gotten a bit monotonous. The trees are far greener than usual and birds are chirping and the sky is blue. The air smells fresh as if renewed from the thunderstorm last night. I would much rather take my walk elsewhere...at least somewhere with sidewalks...
But alas, I cannot go anywhere alone so close to sundown and having some company wouldn't be so bad.
I text my fellow companions to see who is available.
Companions who have all recently been given the gift of love in a significant other... I roll my eyes already knowing the answer from everyone.
This isn't something to be upset about, if I had a significant other I wouldn't want to spend my evening off walking with some single chick. And inviting my significant other along would only cause the most dreadful third wheel syndrome to the inviter. Besides, the further I think about, the more I want this to be a quiet walk with almost no meaning to it and no outcome to it. Just a quiet not so lonely walk.
I immediately contemplate that boy of which I have an interest in only to contemplate further if I want him to have an interest in me yet only to sigh and note that I do not want an intimate walk. I only want a brisk, not so lonely, walk.
So, I put away my phone and look at my monotonous path once again.
I could go alone to one of the locations that provide a much better atmosphere, but I'm a female and there tends to be a precautionary notion in the back of my mind saying "go alone and get kidnapped, drugged, and raped."
So I look back at my monotonous path yet again and begin taking steps. Maybe this is for me to grow closer to God and contemplate. And so...I walk alone. 

Now I'm not one to be bothered by loneliness. There's nothing like watching YouTube videos and reading up on interest and having quiet time in prayer, but lately I've been having a hard time in certain areas of my life and would love some good company. Not intimate. Not dramatic. Just peaceful. 
I want to not talk about things, I want to just walk in the company of another and know we are happily content as is. Taking in everything in our environment and embracing its beauty. The mere thought of sharing such an experience makes me smile at the dream. Being perfectly happy with everything God has given us and everything that is being given. Not dwelling on the hardships, just recognizing the journey. 
This comforting feeling reminding each other we are fine, and we are all the same. And God has got our backs.


After this walk I realized a lot about myself. The things I have a hard time with lay within and are easily forgiven and brought to peace. We don't tend to look at our problems as minute in the moment, but with a little time with God you can definitely see that in the face of hopelessness and worry you are healed and the little things shouldn't bother you if they continue to. You should just be able to say "life is an experience" and be happy you get to enjoy the parts God brings you. It makes us individual and gives us all different stories.

It's kinda fun seeing what will happen next. Just remember to make decisions that God would approve of. Making the right decisions will make you happy even if they seem disastrous at the time!

This is easy to say but life is no walk in the park and its SUPER EASY to get caught up in emotions. Just remember to take a breath. The only thing keeping you from breathing is, not your anxiety, not your teacher, not your family, not your mother in law, but you. ✌💗
