Passerby
Its been a long time since I posted... I went to the Carolina Tiger Rescue last weekend with the Cary High Environmental Club. It was great being able to see everyone.
College is stressful... way too much work for one person to handle and even less time to be posting this blog, but i really felt like i needed to.
Last week I accomplished a lot: studying for my 2nd Micro Exam, Spanish Exam, Quizzes, wrote 10 pages of journals, 2 journal essays, 300 pages of reading, a 6 page paper for english, a pre lab, and on top of all I had an ear infection and continued struggles with my past.
It seems silly that I still haven't gotten over the worthless me. I should be fine now but every once in a while the old me sneaks out and bashes the me that I am now. I'm feeling a lot better now and perhaps things will get better too as my mood improves.
Hopefully i did well on my micro exam, and hopefully I can recollect the pieces of myself.
So below this post is the lyrics to a song that really spoke to me the other day. It reminded me that as humans we don't know what everyone is thinking or the things we've gone through. And therefore we should love each other and be merciful and extend grace to others... if we can't love then what do we have to offer? So here is my challenge! Think about what a rude person has been through that day... give them the benefit of the doubt...They may be having a crappy day.

I am a passerby
Half-smile as you cut in line
Hold the door to be polite
You’re on your way and I’m on mine
I don’t know the day you’ve had
I don’t know where your head is at
You’re not a friend of mine
I am just a passerby
What if I knew your name?
What if we had the same home room?
What if the things that tie us are stronger than we knew?
What if we'd shared a pint?
What if we cheered the same team?
What if these moments between us mean more than we could dream?
Would I have grace for you and you for me?
Long days have made us numb
I don’t know where you’re coming from
I can’t look you in the eye
I am just a passerby
I am a passerby, I am just a passerby
