In between- where I am found.....
It is hard to discuss a politically charged movie, like Motorcycle Diaries with friends who devote themselves to church and pretty much ignore politics. It is not easy to discuss theological differences with someone who doesn't really believe in God. I find that although I have many friends, there are so many aspects to my life, that are abstract in their nature and difficult to explain. It is funny how I have always had this burning desire to be understood, for someone to know the ins and outs on one subject, just as much as they knew the ins and outs on a completely unrelated topic. I guess, I haven't met anyone yet, who can see both sides and believe that, in fact, they are related and should be addressed all at once.
When I moved to Boston, I was acting on my political activist beliefs and went to go 'change the world' one child at a time, and it was awesome, and enpowering and such an incredible experience, but for the most part, I had no place to act upon my religious convictions.
I think I am at the best place in my life.
I have my AWESOME job, where I know I can go out and change things.... I really see where the world can change in it.... everyday, I see the possibilities, and I am so excited! And I have place in which I can promote and share with others my church beliefs, I can relate to others in that. I get to be ALL of me, and not just some part of the whole.
My friend gave me a 'fragments' box last night. It is basically a memory box that she decorated for me, that I can use to store things of who I was in the past, and little pieces of memories. She chose to give it to me apart from the crowd, so she could explain it. That is funny that she called it a fragments of me' box, because in truth, that is all most have seen of me, just a few fragments.
