Your heart has already been heard and there is no fear in love.

"Love until it hurts, then love some more." // Mother Teresa

i am rachel, at your service. i am eighteen. Love gives everything and there is a necessary dying that must take place in order to truly see that. Although i see much insight and wisdom to this life from many spiritual prophets and leaders throughout history, Jesus of Nazareth is holding my hands, His story is the biggest influence in my life. He has shown me what G-d's hopeful and everlasting love and scandalous grace is like.

i can try to love you as i was loved first. This is my outlet on the journey of being one with my Lover. It is a snippet to a bigger story, a part of a greater whole. Adventures with old and new friends and all artwork are my favorite things and i am a strong believer in living a life of sacrifice, simplicity, peacemaking and equality as a means to loving others.

Brothers, your sisters need your strong, adventurous, and capable hearts.

The passivity and absence of a man is just as terrible as his violence. And i wish more guys knew. Maybe they do… and just choose to do nothing…. But, nothing hurts quiet as much as being in the presence of a man with clenched fists and crossed arms. It hurts just as much as a fist. I need the help of my brothers. All sisters need the help of their brothers. Brother, i need you. All our sisters do. We need each other.

And even if you don’t think your heart is strong… You might have said no for far too long…. But it’s never to late, i promise.
