Wanting to love
I just feel the need to remind myself (and anyone who reads this) of the power of loving on people. I'm never more rewarded than when I love on another. To be the reason someone else smiles warms my heart and chases away the blues. I think we all have a tendency to become so wrapped up in ourselves that we often forget the need to love on someone else. I hope the world sees love through me, and that I am remembered as someone who pulled people up more often than cutting them down. Though life is difficult right now, I find great stress relief in offering a hug and/or a compliment. People I don't know need them, too. A smile can offer so much hope on an otherwise crappy day. How easy it is to forget.
Though I am busy, I realize how good life is, too. I have so much going for me, that I cannot forget it all. Yes, I have bad days, and I have those days that need a good cry, but I must also acknowledge the privilege of school, and the blessings in my life. I have incredible friends, a supportive family, and a caring community. I just hope this continues.
I am still worried about the future, about that over which I have no control. But, I know what I want, what my dreams are, and I will fight for them. I just hope that I am truly doing everything in my power. I guess the rest isn't up to me. *le sigh*.
