Bye

Hey friends. I’m deleting my app. The account will still technically exist, but I’m not sure if I’ll even send stuff from Instagram any more.

I’m never here, and I’m still connected with a lot of you. I don’t need to tie myself to this site any more, and keeping the app on my phone is an easy excuse.

Remember that, if you feel like it, you can find me on other social media at azurechanel.

Love y’all. Thanks for everything.

27:
I’m always grateful for my family, but I’m reminded of it even more on days like today. This is a special birthday for me — I mean, they’re all special to some degree, but this birthday also happens to fall on Easter Sunday. I didn’t make major plans for today other than going to church and being with my family. That’s one of those things we’ve always done on Easter, but it felt different this year. Just thinking about the life, death, and resurrection of a Christ, I couldn’t help but being extra thankful this year, and super excited that it happened to fall on my birthday. To be alive today, in the life of Jesus, to celebrate His triumph with my blood family and my church family…those are the best gifts I could ever ask for — better than I could ever imagine.
•// Thank You, Lord, for another year. May I remain in Your will and live every single day for Your glory, showing Your love to everyone I encounter. Thank You for today. //•

“Be my friend!”
Samantha, friends like you don’t come around very often, and that’s why I’m so grateful you adopted me as your friend. Thanks for listening to everything and helping me sort through my messes. Thanks for understanding and not freaking out on me every time I say something stupid before I’ve realized it. Most of all, thanks for goofing off with me and laughing both with and at me. Love you, my beautiful potato 🖤🖤🖤 (at Chattanooga, Tennessee)

•// i ain’t sleeping lately,
i ain’t sleeping lately;
yes, i know that i’m the only person that can change me;
maybe that’s why i ain’t changing,
that’s why i ain’t changing;
i got too much on my mind, i guess i don’t know how to face it //•
