Christmas has come!
It was a very good one this year.
It is awesome to realize that people were missed when you see them.
Not saying that they weren't missed before, but that it was good to see them and tell them they were missed.
Life doesn't wait for anyone.
Make the most of it.
Not that you aren't already.
Winter retreat has come and gone as well.
It was one that was memorable because of the time that was spent.

I realized a lot from watching people.
It takes a lot of time to figure out people.
And even though we are who we are it still takes a long time to figure out what makes us go and stop and go and stop.
I'm not even close to doing so, but I know that it doesn't really matter if I do figure out whatever needs to be figured out.
I also know that it doesn't matter if I don't fully understand my friends because that's not my job.
My job as their friend is to be there even though I don't fully understand them.
To me, that is the beauty of friendship.
To be there even though I might not know the situation that their in.
To love even though it is hard to understand.
Sometimes its best to sit and be.

I wish I could, but this I really can't.
It is to0 hard and for me, maybe impossible.

16 December 2008

Today is the 16th day of December.
It was raining a lot the past couple of days.
I like the rain.
Something about it...
Maybe its the coming of the winter...
Maybe its the cleanliness of the air....
Maybe its...
Cheese...

I am lamenting.
"Why?" you ask.
Well, I don't know.
I think its a mix of different things that I can't quite place a finger on.
There are things that are tangible and then there are the abstract things.
Come to think of it...I don't miss the tangible things.
Only the feelings that were associated with it.
The thing is...
I don't think those memories are easily retrieved.
And now I am done lamenting.
"Why?" you ask.
Well, I know.
I think its the fact that right when I finished putting a period on a sentence I realized that somethings aren't meant to be retrieved.
There are things that are only supposed to be felt once.
Others maybe are supposed to be felt during certain seasons of a life.
Intense feelings that go away and come again as life moves along.
Who knows why this happens.
I just know to appreciate the moments as they come and take things in stride.

Yes, yes...
We all know that I haven't posted for almost a week.
And yes, I did say that I would be posting every Monday.
And yes, I know that last week I posted on a Friday exactly four days after the day I said I would post on.
And yes, it is not Monday today because it is Thursday.
Excuses are a plenty in this explanation because there is not real reason why I couldn't spend 20 minutes updating this blog and keep you happy.
I mean what are papers and tests compared to keeping my faithful readers happy.
Of course the answer is obvious.
There is absolutely no comparison because readers are always more important than finals and papers. Always...
Which leads me to the topic I would like to talk about....

There are always things people NEED to do. Things like homework, work, study, errands, and so on, but when things like that get in the way of friendship that's where I have a problem. In this world I feel friends and family should trump all...right?
Please don't read this post and go on with your life not fulfilling your responsibilities because I don't think I have that kind of impact on people and secondly there are always things people NEED to do.
People NEED to provided for their family, put food on the table, finish their studies, and what not.
But isn't the biggest need to love and be loved.
Sometimes people don't realize this until it's too late.
Happy Holidays...Merry Christmas

Yes, I'm late.
A little late.
Actually just four days late.
It is Friday.
Not Monday, but at least its Friday...right?
I watched a movie at the beginning of the week.
My Sassy Girl.
I thoroughly enjoyed that movie. More than you can possibly know.
I've been busy and tired and its all my fault.
Busy because I'm making life busy with my procrastination.
Tired because I'm being stupid and playing basketball 3 times in one day.
I'm almost finished with this quarter and I can't wait for the break

Just be yourself.
You're the best at being yourself.
No one is better, I promise.
If there was someone....no there can't possibly be someone better than you.
So, let's not talk about possibilities.
Why would you try to be something that you can't be the best at.
I'm saying that everything you do you will be the best at.
I'm saying that in everything do the best that you can.
And in terms of being and being someone.
The best person that you can be is yourself.
