Hi, my name is Gianna. I'm 19 years of age and was born on April 12. I devote most of my time to scouring Wikipedia and reading out of print books or books that are just plain old. My favorites are The Count of Monte Cristo and The Scarlett Letter. I am very interested in learning about history and religions around the world. I love nature but wouldn't last a day out in the woods. I am not a good pet-owner nor do I have pets. If I had a pet it would be a deer or something but they're not domestic animals. I thrive on coffee and the TV series "Supernatural". I'm not a very active person and I'm a total recluse. I love writing. I dislike eating food. I dislike sunlight. Did I also mention that I'm a skinwalker?

  • "I don't believe what I'm saying. This is so serious, This is so formal. Why do I have to go through all of this just to pray for what I want?"
  • "I'm too lazy. I'm busy doing this (hobby) or this (responsibility). Don't want to. Don't want to. Not today."
  • "I'm sad and confused. Angry or indifferent. I can fix this myself by googling, reading self-help books, taking therapy, reading into psychology or pseudoscience to feel better." I put man's words (wisdom) before God's word (wisdom) (1 Cor 3:18 - 3:20). I'm self-seeking and not putting trust into Him so I believe I can fix everything without need for prayer.
  • "I'm too ashamed of what I did. I want to hide and escape it. I'm too guilty". My eyes avoid the cross or any pictures of His face in my home.

Prayers to St. Anthony (Lost things) "St. Anthony, perfect imitator of Jesus, who received from God the special power of restoring lost things, grant that I may find [name the item] which has been lost. At least restore to me peace and tranquility of mind, the loss of which has afflicted me even more than my material loss. To this favor, I ask another of you: that I may always remain in possession of the true good that is God. Let me rather lose all things than lose God, my supreme good. Let me never suffer the loss of my greatest treasure, eternal life with God."

Amen.

(Prayer of St. Efraim, Hope For Forgiveness 50) Have mercy on me. O God, according to Thy great mercy, and according to the multitude of Thy compassions, blot out my transgression. For if thou wilt have mercy on me and free me from the pitiful affliction of the passions - if only Thou w...

"Saya, my darling Saya. Is this really what you want? Why do you go so far for me? What am I, that you can give yourself to me body and soul? Is this merely sympathy? Do you pity me, the exile from society? Is that enough for you to surrender yourself to such mad desire? Are you so wanton?"

It was too lonely for her there, And too wild, And since there were but two of them, And no child,

And work was little in the house, She was free, And followed where he furrowed field, Or felled tree.

She rested on a log and tossed The fresh chips, With a song only to herself On her lips.

And once she went to break a bough Of black alder. She strayed so far she scarcely heard When he called her-

And didn't answer-didn't speak- Or return. She stood, and then she ran and hid In the fern.

He never found her, though he looked, Everywhere, And he asked at her mother's house Was she there.

Sudden and swift and light as that The ties gave, And he learned of finalities Besides the grave.

1/3/2026 Today on a drive I saw a sequence of license plates on passing cars, two in the same lane and one on the road going right - this is in a 4-way intersection (I will list the last digits since I don't remember the letters on the plates): ...6662, ...7773, ...8884.

1/4/2026 I'm moving back in with my mother after losing my job. My mother is manically depressed and doesn't work or leave the house anymore. So, as far as I can remember she's spent hours talking to herself and screaming...I tried to escape this and I'm upset, more than upset. Talking to her some days is like trying to listen to a broken record. Sometimes she hears me, sometimes she doesn't. And with this irritation comes this feeling like hopelessness. Maybe it will be different this time.

- Lately, I've found a fascination with the works of Michael Nostradamus, specific...

Faith the way to salvation.

Rom. 1:16; Eph. 2:8,9.

Not by the laws of innocence Can Adam's sons arrive at heav'n; New works can give us no pretence To have our ancient sins forgiv'n.

Not the best deeds that we have done Can make a wounded conscience whole; Faith is the grace, and faith alone, That flies to Christ, and saves the soul.

Lord, I believe thy heav'nly word, Fain would I have my soul renewed; I mourn for sin, and trust the Lord To have it pardoned and subdued.

O may thy grace its power display, Let guilt and death no longer reign; Save me in thine appointed way, Nor let my humble faith be vain.

-Isaac Watts

Are they blue, gray or green? Mysterious eyes (as if in fact you were looking through a mist) in alternation tender, dreamy, grim to match the shiftless pallor of the sky.

That's what you're like- these warm white afternoons which make the ravished heart dissolve in tears, the nerves, inexplicably overwrought, outrage the dozing mind.

Not always, though-sometimes you're like the horizon when the sun ignites our cloudy autumn-how you glow! A sodden countryside in sudden rout, turned incandescent by a changing wind.

Dangerous woman-demoralizing days! Will I adore your killing frost as much, and in that implacable winter, when it comes, discover pleasures sharper than iron and ice?

-Charles Baudelaire

The gift of Grace is given to some. Life experience, whipping fast as a wave, washes out the dryness of our mouths and gives us the words to say.

We are men overboard, falling in the water from lack of faith. The spirit not whole. Lesson not learned today.

I take a breath, and the wall ruptures. The dam overflows and the truth pours out. Will this be my saving Grace? Given to despair I solemnly fall to my doom once again.

Swim back. The battle isn't lost as it will go on everyday. As there are seasons to everything. Our will, never shifting, Grace taking its shape, the power to stand He may bring.

  • "For there is not, and cannot be, any worse sin than this, nor is there any equal to it. It is rather the sum of total evils, and that which confounds all things, incurring unremitting punishment and unbearable chastisement." - Saint John Crysostom
  • "Let us, therefore, say that poverty or disease or the onset of dangers compel us to blasphemy. It is not poverty but stupidity, not disease but contempt, not the onset of dangers but a lack of reverance that lead the unwary to blasphemy and every evil." - Saint John Crysostom
  • "If you're in the marketplace,and you hear blasphemy, you should go to the blasphemer and rebuke him, and, if necessary, inflict blows upon him, slap him in the face, smite his mouth, and, in so doing, sanctify your right hand with the blow." - Saint John Crysostom

Among the black yews, their shelter, the owls are arranged in a row, like alien deities, the glow of their red eyes pierces. They ponder. They perch there without moving, till that melancholy moment when quenching the falling sun, the shadows are growing. Their stance teaches the wise to fear, in this world of ours, all tumult, and all movement: Mankind drunk on brief shadows always incurs a punishment for his longing to stir, and go.

-Charles Baudelaire
