Losing Myself: Poetry No. 2

You Remain
When all else fails
Still You remain
When everything passes
Still You remain
When what was once prized sits idly by
Still You remain

About Me

A few days before my 18th birthday, I started a blog. I used this tiny corner of the internet to document the new transitions in my life: graduating high school and gaining a new stepfamily. As college began, I started writing about identity, singleness, and faith.

Now, as a recent college graduate, I have transitioned to a new blogging environment (Grace Upon Grace) and my focuses have shifted slightly. God is still the most important aspect of my life, but I have grown into more of myself. I hope you'll join me on the next stage of this crazy adventure called life.
