hehe
everyone's telling me to study, but no one's in here making sure i am, so hehe :P
so true man.
so i was walking down the hall yesterday with a rubik's cube in hand and i stopped to check out priya's program that she was working on in the lounge and when i got back to my room i thought "le sigh. i'm a nerd" :P
izy came today! about 2 hours ago, actually :) life is better with visitors. i wonder.. do you think that if you sound happier than you think you are, you might actually BE happier than you think you are? *ponder ponder*
i realized something this morning. or maybe it was last night and i just remembered it this morning. in any case.. being wanted beats out being needed. there's all this.. pressure that comes with the thought that someone NEEDS you, but being wanted has all the same implications of feeling important without the stress.
something people say in their testimonies is that when they realized that though God sure didn't need them, but He wanted them anyways, they felt so.. free. i always thought "man, how does that make sense? that'd just make me feel useless, because nothing i do is necessary." but it's not about what you do, it's about who you are. LOVE is about wanting you for who you are, not needing you for whatever skill or comfort you can provide. and that IS really freeing. because you don't have to be perfect. you can screw up.. and things will still turn out okay. maybe even better than okay, things will turn out the way they're supposed to.
now then, i've promised about 5 different people that i will be studying tonight, so i think i'll get on that. happy tuesday! :)
