Where art thou, Latrinka?
hehehe, trying to imitate Zach's LJ icon lol... i have no better ideas :)
well, anywho...
been struggling with some things in my life related to peers, pride, and the fact that I am only five feet tall. Sound familiar? Sound like that wierd post I put up at Christmas break last year? lol. Well, it's somewhat the same. Though I am not yearning to be in high school. In fact it's quite nice to be down here in the big JH. However, my thoughts are on being a man. It's difficult to be a man, when sometimes you just wanna break down and act like you're five. But, it's even more difficult to be considered a "man" so to speak (not speaking of someone over 21, but a man on the inside, hence the name "manatheart") It's hard to be considered a man when you're only five feet tall, are described as "cute", and sometimes very humurous (though I am not complaining about these minor difficulties). However, even you, the reader, if I told you that I was a man, you would break out laughing. And I don't blame you. What does a little junior higher have to offer? Well, I was reading in Matthew 6...:
25"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? 26Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27Who of you by worrying can add a single cubit to his height?"
Interesting, right? I think so. Well, though I may always be that short, adorable little kid, reviving that old saying: Don't judge a book by it's cover. God still teaches me about my life, and of course, helps me overcome the fact that, yes Riley, you may not be attractive until you are in your late years of high school. (and btw, I have a pretend girlfriend named Latrinka. She rocks. Here's to insanity.)
Well, after intense thought, I conclude that, although hidden behind a facade of littleness, shadowed by judgement, yes, ladies and gentlemen, I am a man.
A man at heart.
That will be all.
