You Rejoice. I Complain. You and I, We're The Same

People are so complicated. Can I get an amen? I never cease to learn more and more about them.

This semester has been a lot of me thinking about how people are thinking... which can getcha into a wicked swirly mess (in your head).

First of all, I've been completely blown away at how this "ignoring it" thing actually... Well, I can't say it works but it... Well, I always thought if you ignore a problem/situation/whatever then it'll eventually just explode inside of you. I'm always a "let't talk about this" and "let's solve it now" type girl. 

I've discovered that things WON'T just explode (Time heals all things.. blah blah).  They eat at you slowly, perhaps.. but you can really move on from it by ignoring it (let's not apply this to alcoholism or abuse, people).  I've always hated that "time heals all things".

I've made peace with the fact that things in life will never completely be OVER either. The fact is you just don't KNOW the future! I mean tomorrow I could run into my Kindergarten teacher and suddenly be her in-house chef or daughter's bridesmaid. Ya know? The possibilities are ENDLESS! That makes me feel much more comfortable with, "giving things time". 

What is one thing that is universal with humans? The want for love, right? (Okay, hunger, survival, biological functions...shhh). The search for love. God, spouse, parents, grandparents, friends. 

Okay, so shouldn't reading people be easier then? 

Second ponderation (What does that even mean... ? It's not what I think it means, I know that for sure), why can't people just LIVE? Why do we have to categorize and label stuff? I live by feeling. I live to share the good news of the Lord and to display it through my actions. I do not live to judge, talk, or categorize people. I just want to show you how I feel instead of find the correct and most concise word to describe what exactly I'm doing and WHEN I'm doing it.

I don't even know... 

We're all just the same, aren't we?
