Welcome!!



I have returned!! I haven't blogged in about 5 years, but I thought I'd do it again! I'm probably going to blog about random thoughts I have on faith, mental health, movies/tv shows, sports and other things that come to mind.

I want to provide some of my thoughts on the chapter, but I am not attempting to solve the problem of discontentment, so be nice to me. These are not my final thoughts either, so I may blog about this again.
