Be the spark in the dark3/22/2023 ![]() I know this is a simple concept and something that I’m sure is found in almost every blogger’s repertoire, but I want to encourage you to really let it sink in, and maybe just try it out for one day. Sorry, not sorry! There is power in one heart, just as their is power in one spark. ![]() So, as easy as it is to say “my one life and heart probably won’t make much of a difference, considering how many people there are in the world,” you’re wrong. And if those sparks encourage further sparks, a tremendous light can be created and overcome any and all darkness. This is how we should all live.Īnd I compare it to a spark in the dark. As small as a spark in the dark might be, it can be seen by all those around it. Neither our deepness of friendship nor circumstances of the day stopped them from spreading as much joy as they could in a matter of 30 seconds. It is from a God of unconditional and everlasting love. It remains even in the most strenuous moments, and has no barriers or limitations. Joy is a difficult thing. It is not, however, to be mistaken with happiness. These girls that I honestly didn’t know that well at all treated me like I was their favorite person in the world, and made what appeared to be the worst possible 24 hours, a day that was worth enjoying to its fullest. The cloud over my heart had completely vanished, and it was replaced with an incandescent joy.Īs dramatic as this all might sound, I mean every word of it. This is the worst day in all of history, and I’m standing here grinning like a two year old who was just given the deluxe Barbie Dream House. I stood there for a few seconds, slowly becoming aware of the uncontrollable stretch in my facial muscles and the opening in my lips which exposed my teeth. I was dumbfounded. How did this even make sense. They complimented my tan (always the best- tip to guys: tell a girl how tan she is and you’re set for a very long and fulfilling marriage), they said that it was great to see me, and pranced out the doors. Still in shock of the amount of joy overflowing in front of me, I was embraced by two girls from my old high school that were just way too happy to see me. My eyes flipped upwards to see two tremendous, beaming sets of teeth that stretched from ear to ear on each of the two old familiar faces. All of a sudden, I felt a hand on my arm, and my ears were filled with an energetic voice exclaiming my name. With my head down and heart empty, I opened the shop’s doors and stepped inside. The early wake up call was not missed, and neither were Physics and Psychology.Īfter somehow managing to still be breathing after a morning of classes, I make my way over to the downtown Starbucks to start working on the seemingly endless amount of studying, homework, and papers that stood unshakeable in front of me like my own personal Mount Everest. Students drag their feet along the concrete sidewalks, and even the sun shines a little less than normal. No one smiles, and no one asks to make sure you’re okay. I’m sure you’ve gathered what day this is by now. Yep, it’s the first, heartbreaking Monday following a far too short Spring Break, aka the worst, most terribly unfortunate day that has ever existed in any college-goer’s universe. Waking up at 8 AM has never seemed quite so cruel. ![]() I gaze down at my tan skin, longing for a brightened spirit, but no matter how many shades darker I got over the past 7 days, my soul remains in a bottomless pit without any form of escape. I shut my eyes tightly, still able to hear the melody of crashing waves, lyrical whistling of birds, and whisper of palm trees brushing their leaves against one another, only to open them again and see a bleak reality of manmade buildings and obnoxious college students blaring their horns at each other. The lack of food in the kitchen makes the morning even more catastrophic. There is an overwhelmingly grim and hopeless cloud over the black hole that is my heart. Horton is also a music producer.The early morning rays of sun creeping through the blinds are tragically dull. Before transitioning into the world of acting, Horton played football for the Arkansas Razorbacks and Tennessee Titans in the early 2010's. The movie tells the story about Michigan State, the first fully integrated college football team in history. Julian Horton plays Gene Washington, a wide receiver from LaPorte, Texas that gets recruited to play for Michigan State in the 1960's. He also just completed his third movie that will be in theaters, Black Spartans. Simmons, Timothy Olyphant, Uzo Aduba, and Lil Rel Howery.
