Why is it that whenever i try to be helpful, it usually ends up backfiring and threatening the very thing i was trying to save?!?!
Sometimes i fail way too badly for my own good....or anyone else's for that matter....

.realizations.
I just talking about all the friends I have here, and all the people that I would introduce to anyone that would come and visit me. And it hit me....
SO SO SO much has changed about my Taylor life since January. When I finally stopped doing my own thing which just resulted in my banging my head up against a wall, when I let God take control and trust that he knows what he's doing, and when i decided to not be scared of new situations, there's just so much more peace about life in general.
Since that day, approximately 3 1/2 months ago, I have made some of the best friendships I think I will ever have. Not to say that there aren't people I was close to before that aren't still amazing. But if I just listed people that have been good friends for me this year, a good majority of them, I met during j-term.
As hard as it was to realize that I had screwed up, that realization is what enabled me to live my life unfettered and in peace and to find those relationships that I had been searching for so much before.
Thank God for lessons well-learned, and for the blessing of friends who care and are just all-around awesome ;)

.frustration.
I'm currently writing a paper for my expository writing class. It is a persuasive paper, intended to bring to light a problem at Taylor and find a solution for it.
A situation came up last night in which two people that I love very dearly were hurt and frustrated, essentially because of such a problem.
When I started writing, I realized how angry I was. I don't get mad easily. But when my friends are hurting, I hurt for them. And i'm never ever very happy with the cause of that hurt. Especially when it's something so stupid and could be easily fixed if someone in Taylor's administration cared enough.
Unfortunately, all I can do is write a paper. It can't really change anything. I wish there was something I could do to make it all go away.
But I can pray. And I can pray hard.
They need it.
