This week was so interesting and full of...things. The feelings were overwhelming, emotion-packed, and full of love, even.
Lets start with Sunday...
So, on Sunday, I go to Sunday school and am empowered by this lovely speech and talk that Sister and the class have together. I'm telling you, it was beautiful. My hope for the future was renewed, and I felt as though, well, I felt like I could do so much more in life. It was a wonderful feeling.
On Monday, I was enveloped in the friendliness of my new teacher. People might not like her as much, but she, to me, is a kind elderly soul. I mean, who are we, the young, ignorant..youth who mostly care about material wealth to judge a person who has gone beyond that? Who are we to do that? We have no right to.
On Monday, I had the most boring phone conversation in my life. It was quite painful, but still, i feel as if I will never look at that person in the same way. Mostly because, on my list, he has gone down. WAY down. It's amazing how little you know of a person, just by short daily encounters each day.
On Tuesday, the country and the world renewed hope when Barack Obama became "president-elect." I saw photos of people all around the world, from different countires, race, and culture, crying tears of joy at this one man. It was beautiful.
On Tuesday, I yelled, or shall I say, screamed, at my best friend, who has been my loyal companion for two years almost, for the first time. It was a horrible feeling. The thought that I might have lost her companionship hurt me.
I also realized in the same day, that I had a deep dislike for the person stated above under Monday. My respect for him continues to dwindle at a fast and steady pace. It's quite sad.
I also learned how deep a friendship I have with another one of my best friends is. We're like sisters. She has never hurt me yet, and when we try to, it feels impossible. I really don't deserve her love.
On Wednesday, today, I resolved to be a better person, I resolved never to try to hurt the feelings of the people I love. On Wednesday, I went beyond my usual border, venturing out and gaining a new sense of self-esteem. I renewed my love and compassion for my friends, and also my famliy.
This week was my self-awakening. I am thankful to Kami-sama for having blessed me such a wonderful opportunity to become a better person.
Now, to drink my tea. ^__^
