Stress Continues

Well, now it is really finals week. And people are losing it.  But there is good news!  People are still mostly good!

At least that is what I am telling myself.  Because this weekend something amazing happened to me.  It's called I had a wonderful discussion with a friend.  Real talk.  And it reminded me of what it is I love most in the whole world.  The reason I am inflicting mental pain, as well as physical pain, on myself as I try to get an education.

And that is that I love love love people!! I love how we can all look at the same picture but see such different things! I love how everyone really yearns to connect with someone else! And when it happens, it's seriously magic!  It's the best feeling in the world! And I remembered that as I connected with a friend I haven't talked to in a while.

It's so easy for us to be shallow in our conversations.  It's like we follow a script.

"Hey! How are you?"
"I'm alright. How are you doing?"
"I'm doing good."
"Well, I'll see ya later!"
"Yeah! See ya!"

We don't take the time out of our seemingly busy lives to connect with people who need it the most.  This is something I have loved to do for so long, and it just hit me that I have seriously been neglecting building relationships with the people around me like I should be.  Well, that's ok.  Because there never ceases to be people around me, so there are plenty of chances to make up for it!





Also, here is a little song that is close to my heart this week.
