the world says I’m different.

the world says,

I’m wrong. I’m boring. I’m lame. I’m sheltered. I’m stupid. I’m a freak.

I’m wasting my time. I’m not living up my life. I’m not having fun. I’m too up tight.

That reading my bible is worthless. That praying until I scream is unnessecary. That living with a certain standard is a thing of the past.

I don’t care.

I really don’t.

Because the word says:

“where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.” 2 Corinthians 3:17

And after six years of walking in this freedom - throughout the good and the bad and everything in between - I have realized that the joy, peace, excitement, zeal, passion, destiny, courage, blessings, motivation, and determination of this “boring” life, is MORE than anything this world has to offer.

So if the world says I’m different, so be it.

After all, His word is not of this world.

So I don’t care what you have to say about me,

Yo world, I’m Russell Tolentino. yaaaaaaah heard?

I’m happy.

I’m free.

And He is the only one, that can judge me.
