Today's Topic: Revelations

For those who look at this blog and think that I am going to talk about "Revelation," the last book in The Bible, you are wrong. I do not have enough comprehension of that particular book to even ponder writing a blog on it. No, this blog is about revelations in my life; some big and some not so major.

1. Spencer and I are friends again. There was a span of about 3 or 4 months where neither one of us had spoken to the other. We now text each other every now and then. This is a good thing. No one can throw away 3 years of friendship like it is nothing!

2. I love Georgia State University. This isn't really a recent revelation, because it happened back towards the beginning of this semester, and I have mentioned it before. I could not have picked a better university to learn and grow in. Diversity is GSU's claim to fame, and I have gotten to see so many different lifestyles and histories that I would have never been exposed to if I had gone anywhere else. I've learned there is a world outside of Commerce, and it has lots of great people in it. Some of those people are similar to me, and some are completely different from myself. We are all beautiful in some way. That is what GSU shows appreciation for, the beauty in every person's life, past, and each and every thing that makes us who we are.

3. I don't have to be who my parents have always wanted me to be. I can be me, and that is perfectly fine. Those who truly love and care about me will still love me no matter who I am or what I do (with the exception of serious things such as murder). I can't hang my happiness on my parent's opinion of my life. I have to make myself happy and hope that their happiness can fall in line with mine. Of course I want them to be happy in their lives, but that's exactly the point...HAPPY IN THEIR LIVES...not mine. I need to be happy with myself, and they need to be happy with themselves. I want them to be proud of me but not because of what I accomplish or what award I get, but for who I am, how I live my life, and for my heart. I've rarely felt like this. Only a few people, I believe, care about me unconditionally, and I love them more than I can say. Of course, I love my parents! I love them a lot, but I wish I could just be me with them...but I can't.

As always, if anyone needs me let me know!

To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting. - E.E. Cummings
