my love for TCC.

everything has to end.
I know I posted a similar post to this a while back, but I've thought more since then.
I had a great day today. I went to church, I felt the bond.
I felt, I saw. I witnessed.
you don't know how many times during church I teared up. sooo many times. twice when we were on stage singing, once during the lesson, and several during lunch/park.
my church is a place of shelter. comfort. yes, it's the house of God. there, in that place, we worship God, sing praises.
you could follow rules, but you don't have to believe.
but see, the thing is.. we all believe.
and that makes the bond inside us stronger.
we're closer than the normal group of people.
no matter where we go, I always know that my true friends are with TCC youth.
that sounds generic, doesn't it?
if you think about it.. how many people do you know who have a group of friends they can tell EVERYTHING to, and expect them to always be there, and comfort you?
you may think, "A lot of people have that." but, truly?
we're so closely knitted, we've been through so much together- pain, tears, fights.. these are the best people I could ever have. I can't even describe the love that's in us. we can play together, and when we're upset.. I know I'll always have someone who will TRULY care about me, TRULY listen to me, and TRULY comfort me. sometimes.. you don't have that. sometimes it's just someone saying "Oh, Maria, Are you Okay?!?!" and when you tell them what's wrong, they don't really do anything. they might not be able to.. but all they do is just walk away. I've had that happen to me a lot. pouring your heart out, and getting nothing in return. there's memories made EVERYWHERE in our church.. and the whole place just makes me happier.

I can't even describe the love that I felt today. this day will keep me happy until the next time I see you guys. I'll miss you a lot.. but I know you'll be there, and when I get back.. let's live it up.

It never lasts.
Happiness.
just take it while you got it.
and enjoy.
live it up!
enjoy the little things.
cherish the memories made.
don't brood or hold a grudge.
don't be sad for long.
happiness.
it never lasts.
