The intermittent records of a slightly socially retarded, trigger happy, newbie registered nurse attempting to defy mediocrity.. and gravity, of course.

test the heart
Integrity is consistency of actions, values, methods, measures, principles, expectations and outcome. As a holistic concept, it judges the quality of a system in terms of its ability to achieve its own goals. A value system's abstraction depth and range of applicable interaction may also function as significant factors in identifying integrity due to their congruence or lack of congruence with empirical observation. A value system may evolve over time while retaining integrity if those who espouse the values account for and resolve inconsistencies.Integrity may be seen as the quality of having a sense of honesty and truthfulness in regard to the motivations for one's actions. The term "hypocrisy" is used in contrast to integrity for asserting that one part of a value system demonstrably conflicts with another, and to demand that the parties holding apparently conflicting values account for the discrepancy or change their beliefs to improve internal consistency.I guess for me, integrity has always been quite highly prized without me even knowing it. I never intentionally focused on it or even thought about it a lot but I guess it was just expected of me. I don't claim to be righteous or anything, but I've tried to keep my standards high. At least, that is, I've tried to.
Integrity is such a delicate thing to manage - it takes years to build and establish and many sacrifices to preserve. But one moment of insecurity, one false move, can bring years worth crumbling down.. and I think after that, it's impossible to ever get back into that place again. I don't want to let all these years go to waste.
I guess despite the whole "you shouldn't care what people think of you" attitude can be taken too far. Those people are there to keep you accountable for your actions. In my life, I know those people have the best intentions for me. On the other end of the scale though, some people are just there to point fingers and make up drama that isn't really there, to find amusement for their own boring as lives.
But here I am, despite writing about all this waffle and bubble fluff, not knowing what to do. Sometimes I just wish I could give in and give up. Sometimes, I don't want to be that girl. I wish I could just fall and not worry where I land.
17 I know, my God, that you test the heart and are pleased with integrity. All these things have I given willingly and with honest intent. And now I have seen with joy how willingly your people who are here have given to you.

i am narcissistic
the about me section that can never truly fully describe a person.
it usually emcompasses the favourite movies, favourite music and all that jazz, but really when you think about it these aspect of me change every few years and can never really define me, as me.
but here are the basics anyway:
1. i'm left handed but drive with my right hand.
2. i like milk, but only safeway light milk.
3. i have a dog named phileo and he's white with a pink nose.
4. i am, after three crazy years, a registered nurse, division one.
5. i wish my life was a musical and i often burst into song and love it when people around me join in too
6. i'm sometimes just a mess but above it all, my jesus is always there to come to the rescue. he's pretty swell :)
