Question Answered...
Well another week has gone by in this thing that we call college, and everything is going well. I am doing alright in all my classes...i think. A lot has happened over this last week, but I am not going to be able to tell you all everything that happened. If I did this entry would end up being forever long. So, about the title of this enrty, question answered, well if you remember my last entry I asked the question, Is this how life is supposed to be? Well this week I found the answer, and I am going to share with you all, because it was exactly what I needed to hear. And who knows it might be exactly what you need to hear right now too. I read this on the internet about 2 days ago.
Life isn’t about keeping score. Its not about how many people call you and its not about who you’ve dated, are dating, or haven’t dated at all. It isn’t about who you’ve kissed, what sport you play, or which guy or girl likes you. Its not about your shoes or your hair or the color of your skin or where you live or go to school. In fact, its not about grades, money, clothes, or colleges that accept you or not. Life isn’t about if you have a lot of friends or if you’re alone, and its not about how accepted or unaccepted you are. Life just isn’t about that.
But life is about who you love and who you hurt. Its about how you feel about yourself. Its about trust, happiness, and compassion. Its about sticking up for your friends and replacing inner hate with love. Life is about avoiding jealously, overcoming ignorance and building confidence. Its about what you say and what you mean. Its about seeing people for who they are and not what they have. Most of all its about choosing to use your life to touch someone else in a way that could never have been achieved otherwise. These choices are what life is about.
Is that not awesome or what? I think it is at least. This weekend is going to be a very peaceful and relaxing weekend for me. My roommate is gone for the weekend, and so is about 75% of my dorm so it is pretty quiet around here. This weekend is just going to be time for me to regroup and pull myself back together again, and prepare for the next 2 and a half months left of this semester. I think that is about all I have to say though. Everything is going well. I am staying up to date with all of my school work, so that is good, I am doing better with my studying here than I did in high school so I am pumped about that kinda. But if you find yourself with nothing to do this weekend, even if its for only 5 to 15 minutes, give me a little ring. It is always good to hear a voice from home, or just a voice from a friend. I love everyone, and I miss yall a lot.
