"Never underestimate a girl’s love for her favorite band. Never think even for a minute, that she won’t defend them to her death. Because it’s not just the music that makes that band her favorite. It’s the guys, the gals. It’s the fans. People whom of which she has interacted with thanks to the band. That band might of saved her life, or just made her smile everyday. That band has never broke her heart and has yet to leave her. No wonder she finds such joy in her music."

The Bean!

Day 17 – an art piece (drawing, sculpture, painting, etc.)

I love the Bean in Chicago. I absolutely love it. It’s so cool, the way it’s like a giant mirror, reflecting everything around it.

I'm honestly in love with Chicago. I want to go to college there, and I love everything about it.

Drowning

Day 16 – a song that makes you cry (or nearly)

A song that makes me cry has to be Storm by Lifehouse. It’s about how God didn’t take us this far to just abandon us, and even when it doesn’t seem like it, He’s always with us, He’s always watching over us.

“And I will walk on water

And you will catch me if I fall

And I will get lost into your eyes

I know everything will be alright

I know you didn't bring me out here to drown

I know everything is alright

So why am I ten feet under and upside down

Barely surviving has become my purpose

Because I'm so used to living underneath the surface

If I could just see you

Everything would be all right

If I'd see you

This darkness would turn to light”

I’ve listened to this song many times, the volume all the way up, tuning out the world, trying to believe that God is still me. And he still is, I know it.

Love, Nell

Secret Passages

Day 15 – your dream house

I want a big, old house, with huge rooms and bright colors and a secret room or passage.

Or, I’ve always wanted to live in a modern skyscraper-top apartment, with a huge window, overlooking a big city.

30 Day Challenge

Hello Friends! If you remember, I've been doing the 30 Day Challenge. I haven't been doing it everyday, so obviously, I fail the challenge. But I'm going to coninue doing it, just because it gives me something to write about, when I've got writers block.

But, I'm going to cheat and skip today's (Day 14 – a non-fictional book), because honestly, I don't know that I've ever read a non-fiction book.

Thanks for reading!
