lately i've just been hurting. drama thats happened over the summer to me and my friends, and my retarded church situation are just getting to me a lot more lately than they have before. I feel like i'm lying to everyone i talk to if i smile. luckily i enjoy all my classes this year, because we do a lot of things and the day goes by quickly. the class i enjoy most is principles of business, not for the teacher [even thought she's cool] but for my classmates. on the first day of school i was the last one into the class and the only seat left was around all the creepy looking senior guys and right beside a guy who i used to be in band with. i was quiet the entire first week because i didn't want to say anything stupid, but one day a guy said something about adam and eve, relating to a question the teacher had asked. the guy across the table said that he didn't believe in that 'crap' and continued to tell us he was agnostic. the boy beside me quickly said he was too...but thats just what people 'said'. suddenly the quiet guy on the other side of the table said "i'm a christian and i don't care what people think about it". he doesn't know it, but that really made my day. i never speak about my religion like that. if someone asks i will certainly tell them, but i'm not bold enough to just state it into the open like that. and i thought he was scary. i have learned not to judge people on their outer appearance before, but i know these guys are sweet at heart. and they are so funny! they're really stubborn, but hopefully i can get something in their heads before the end of the semester. mitch thinks i'm an idiot, but thats cause he's only heard my input on cars and metal bands. wait till he hears me talk about something that actually interests me. i can put in a good battle.
Believe that life is worth living and your belief will help create the fact.

I'm sorry life isn't all smooth sailing. I know the feeling, believe me. School for me has been, stressful but I can tolerate it.
That's awesome that you have such diverse people around you. I'll definitely be praying for you. I know you can make a difference. Don't be afraid of it. Also, kick their butts with your intelligence. :D
love you,
mik
SOoo not that I'm stalking you but I saw you post a link to here on facebook, & then I scrolled down & just read bits & pieces of some of your posts, & I wanna say, that you're not the only one that gets frustrated with life [and church stuff]. You know what helps me when I feel like giving up [because I do feel like that sometimes] or just grouchy [lol that too...Desiree would testify] is listening to good music...like music that gets my mind off of me & the sticky situations around me. Because it's so easy to focus on those, on the negative. ANywayyy I'm sure you've heard this advice before, but I just wanted to remind you of it :).
ANNND what especially made me comment on this post was your quote by William James. I'm taking philosophy this semester, & we talked about him a little, my prof mentioned that quote in class, & I highlighted/starred it in my notes. & it makes me smile to see you have it on here, bc it's definitely true. :) Love you.
