I thought I'd update. I'm trying to put off studing as long as I possibly can. I just finished my book, White Apples. And it was freaky. Some guy who is dead, who doesn't know he's dead has to teach his unborn son who talks to his mother, how to save the universe by teaching him what he learned about being dead. But I wanted to share an exerpt.
"Patients never wants Wonder to enter the house: because Wonder is a wretched guest. It uses all of you but is not careful with what is most fragile or irreplaceable. If it breaks you, it shrugs and moves on. Without asking, Wonder often brings along dubious friends: doubt, jealousy, greed. Together they take over; rearranging the furniture in every one of your rooms for their own comfort. They speak odd languages but make no attmpt to translate for you. They cook strange meals in your heart that leave odd taste and smells. When they finally go, are you happy or miserable? Patience is always left holding the broom." ~Johnathan Carroll
I just wanted to share. I don't know why but I really like this exerpt. I feel like it is so true but at the same time not. Its wonder that keeps me going, but it also makes me miserable. In my life that is what I'm having the most issues with. Patience. Patience and hope. I'm tired of waiting for things to work out. I need a fresh start. I need patience.
