Well, with my brother's wedding and seeing my family again, my perspective on life has been fixed and things feel alot better. I'm not stressing out as bad as I used to and I feel pretty calm about most things. I'm not even stressing too much about school. Life in general is good again and I can safely say that things can only get better.... well, they could get worse, but I'm not going to let it get me down. I had alot of time to think about everything that was pulling me down into the deep black tar pit of frustration. To think about what is really important to me, what I need and want, what the next step to take is. I feel good about my decisions for the most part.
Among those is the choice to go on a mission for the church. I've been contemplating it for a long time and it seems like the best path to take. I'm anxious about it yet, but I'm not sure if it's because of the people I'll miss or the fear of what may happen. Either way, it's a chance to do good, to focus on and serve others, and most importantly to serve God. Yes, I'm terrified of the unknown, of what will happen to me, what I'll miss, but happens will happen.
