In all seriousness people.....Come on now.....the issues...
*** I feel I should have more faith. I have so many questions about religion, and leaving these questions unanswered will only lead to doubts. For now, I'll just settle for faith in God.
*** Seriously, I'm going to register to vote. And it isn't going to be one of those things that I say I'll do...procrastinate...then miss the deadline. What is the deadline anyway? Where and how do I register? I'll find out and do it Tuesday. I've been trying to read up on the issues but sometimes it's tough. I wish the candidates could just talk to ME, say it as it is, make me understand what they're all about. I think that is the biggest reason why young people don't vote. I think it's just that sometimes it's tough to understand the candidates, and some young people feel if they can't make an educated vote, don't vote at all. Definitely registering Tuesday.
*** There have been several serious illnesses and deaths in my family. And although any health issues that I may be facing, it just can't compare to some of the pains my family members are experiencing. I pray for their swift recovery of body and soul. I also pray for the rest of my family, who's souls grow weary during this difficult time.
*** I must spend more quality time with my grandparents. The people I love. More and more I am realizing that quitting my Cardinal Cushing job will allow so much more pleasure back into my life. I'll feel fitter, have more sleep, be less stressed, have more quality time with family. I'll miss my students, and the achievements we've made, but eventually, I will have to leave here.
*** I'm cutting back on school so I don't have to drop out. I know I'm a smart girl. I need to find myself academically again, but not until my body is well and my soul is at peace. I need to write again.
*** I need to volunteer more. There's so much I can offer to others and I have definitely been on the receiving end of so many other people's good will. Thank you Karen M and Karen H. You've given me a fighting chance when no one else would. Thanks for seeing my potential.
*** I'm finding myself religously. I'm against abortion. I'm for gay rights. I'm educating myself about politics. Friendship never fades, but just endures quietly.
***There's just so so much I hide from people. Talking to some people and looking back...no one really knows me. I'm so judgemental of other people, but look at how people judge me. If they only knew...but I feel like there is no one to open up to. Who wants to hear it, not me. I hate hiding things. Like it's just growing inside you, poking at your ribs, suffocating your heart, like you'll never be at peace until you......until you what? Accept? Be real? Forgive? Let go? Move on? What is it?
Don't make assumptions on me.
