well.. you don't have to thank me. i know we aren't like all close or anything. i hope that you don't just stop coming... maybe bring some of them to bcm and crossroads so that and im gonna go out on a limb and say "people that are more like you" will feel comfortable at BCM, we need to reach out to everyone and not just people that look like that just stepped out of Abercrombie. I feel that you are an asset to bcm because you are different than the majority and i think it would be horrible if you left, not necessarily for your sake but for the people you could help make feel comfortable. quite frankly we aren't here to make ourselves all happy and perfect and the same, we are here for them... and i am totally guilty of not really talking to anyone but my "clique" so i'm sorry for that.
No. We aren't here totally for our happiness. But when it comes down to it. There has to be a certain amount there... What makes you think people who are "like me" will feel comfortable, if I don't?
well, i feel comfortable because alot of people there are like me... ya know. i mean do you think that i am secure enough to wear combat boots and love it? no way, you don't care what people think, or at least i didn't think you did. you can't be worried about everyone else. i mean it sucks that everyone doesn't relate to you, and it maybe because ur a little older and have different experiences, but that's what makes you.. you.. and frankly i don't think that the answer is to just leave, but if that's what God has to say, that who am i to argue?
It never was an intimate atmosphere, especially for new people. Unless you dove in, you didn't really meet anyone more than just a hello. They say it's not "chirchlike", but that's cause they're Baptist and Baptist church is much much worse lol, but that's exactly what it is, a church service on thursday nights for college students. I love you though Toad. You are one of the real ones.
Dude, I totally understand what you are saying. I don't feel like I "fit in" completely anywhere. But, who completely and utterly does? There's always insecurity that is masked by unauthenticity, but I suppose that's where we have to draw the line in the sand. Are you going to try to fit the so-called mold? Or are you going to be who God created you to be? It's a hard decision when there's so much pressure and longing to be accepted. I think I am starting to realize that I can't just conform and fit in, that's not who God made me to be. But I am coming to understand that even though I might not be like the rest of them, I still can find some common ground that will make me less of an unapproachable person. Geez, I SOOO understand where you are coming from. It's sooo hard to deal with it. I feel it a lot here in Tallahassee, but it's slowly resolving itself.
hey man...first of all i just wanna apologize if i dont make sense right now cuz i'm still on drugs. now with that said...now for me to say my part
