that's indeed an interesting, clever line. but i think my bed might be my own cozy bed "runway". after many, many years of having to wake up super-extra early to embark on a work day that exceeded 12 hours and almost 90 combined minutes of commute time, i've discovered the unspeakable joy of a morning that starts a little less frenetic.
i tend to prefer a very cool house while i'm sleeping so that i can pile on the blankets and covers on my bed. getting out of bed in the a.m. to retrieve supersized mug of hot tea is more stimulating that the caffeine in my tea.
for me, my favorite "runway" time is in bed, after i've retrieved my tea, my bible (or other book) and perhaps a yogurt or some other nosh to nibble on.
then, add some magical playlist. while i listen to music all day long, in the morning i have a special fondness for enthusiastic symphonies during that part of the day, like schubert, tchaikovsky, bizet, vivaldi, and their contemporaries.
that is my favorite way to rouse from my slumbering fog... and my favorite runway. : )

Hang on Molly, don't do anything rash. Let your friends stand in the gap for you. Not sure why you want to step away, and I'm not asking, but I hope you don't leave. I for one appreciate your input. Maybe take a day or two away if you need to, instead of cutting yourself off.
Father, please hold Molly in the palm of Your hand. Help her give her pain to you. Encourage her heart in the ways she needs now. Be very present with her, and let her know Your love for her. In Jesus' Name.

Hey, Molly.
Today must be terrible right now for you. :/ Sorry about this.
From the interactions I've seen on here with you and with others, you are very loved and quite likable from what I can tell. Sure, I don't know you all that well, but I have had a few conversations with you and have seen interactions on here with others.
I would say, don't decide to leave because you're having a rough day or a spout of depression. Feeling depressed is terrible and I understand that it is easy just to get up and leave. But, that's allowing emotions to rule your life. And, trust me, I know how easy it is to be persuaded by emotions. I have made rash decisions in my own emotions and have regretted it later.
But, I want you here. You are loved, Molly. Walking away from here is leaving the people who love and care for you and it's not going to solve anything. However, if you do want to leave for reasons besides your feeling sad today, then you need to do what's best for you.
I would encourage you to give it at least a week to think about this decision, and then decide.
You can do what you want. I am not ordering you to stay. You can leave. But, ask yourself, 'Why do I want to?' Is there something else that is going on? Something deeper? There's something that led you to post in this thread about this. I definitely want to talk to you and I know I will miss you if you do decide to leave.
You're loved. You're valued. Speak it over your life. I'd love to talk to you more <3 <3

Molly!!! I second them all and we won't stop SK from taking you captive - *out of love of course* - and we won't show you how to delete your profile. Sorry, just nope.

On a more serious note, consider the friends that love you here. We don't know each other well yet but you seem to be a pretty strong lady. You'll get through this. God's got your back.

I won't be surprised that soon enough you'll have a testimony to share Looking forward to hear about how God's gonna bless you from this day on.

Two things: 1) the desire to teach in a Christian primary school, 2) the desire to one day get married and have a family that I can raise to live under Christ. That's it.
I've got to learn to trust and love again.

We'll get through this. I don't know how lol but God does. In my case, I think, I know now what God has called me to do, I mean, I have an idea of what it is. But everyone I look up to Spiritually, is saying I can't do it Good ole discouragement tactics. And some nights I get hit by the idea, that, what if I'm wrong? Or what if I fail? Or what if I lose this desire? Or SO MANY WHAT IFs! Gah. Okay, I'm starting to rant. I'll get going. Carry on.
I'll continue to keep you in my prayers, Tintin.

I think that if I have a bad day, I can still will my thoughts into positive thoughts. Doesn't mean my bad day will turn good, but my experience during that bad day will not be as awful because my thoughts remained positive.
During my darkest seasons were one of my best seasons, because my focus was positive when everything around me was crumbling. It's really what you do with it.
I think others believes, though, which I don't agree with is that if they think good thoughts, their events will change. But your thoughts are just that: Thoughts. You can make a choice to remain positive in the dark times, even when the circumstances don't change as much.
