I have not posted in a while, I know, but a lot of things have been going on lately!
I’m very pumped up and very excited about having just become VP of ICU at my school.
I’ve really grown to love everything we do in the club, and we’re all getting ready for our next event on September 21st, Party for Peace!
If you can come, please do. We want anyone and everyone there.
Here is my state of mind as of now, in slightly poetic terms:
After all this, I’ve stumbled upon the most beautiful and infinite thing on this earth- love. I am so on fire with it, I could burn a thousand cities with how much of it there is in my heart. It’s so simple and so rare; it’s flawless and irridescent. It can no longer remain quiet in my once cold heart- It’s overtaken every minute and every second of my existance. Nothing is too hard and nothing is impossible. I feel it from your eyes to mine, everything we see suddenly smiles in its own unique and eccentric light. Your love for me has turned into the love I have for everything and everyone. Those who have wronged me are instantly forgiven and the confusion of the person I was has faded away with every smile you send my way.
As you may have guessed from that little rant of mine, things are going beautifully with Jacob.
Things have fallen apart and come together more than any other year of my life in 2007.
After losing Lincoln, things took a turn-for the better.
It’s like he’s given so many people he knew a sense of peace, or losing him has let us all know what’s important in life. I hope I’m not the only one who’s felt this way.
Never forget that the world and life in general is perfect in all its chaos and flaws and quirks.
Never forget that no matter what you’re feeling, somebody else on this earth is feeling the exact same way and you’re never alone.
It doesn’t matter what you believe, at least 90% of people around you are inherently good, and if they don’t act like it, it’s because they’ve only temporarily lost sight of life’s meaning. Those who have wronged you had only forgotten what life was really about. As Gandhi says, forgiveness is an attribute of the strong. Forgive and love.
Goodnight!
You are a beautiful person Amelia!
Forgiveness is an intense lesson in life. To forgive and be forgiven. I’m thankful you’re embracing the freedom of it. I look forward to a year of these cool conversations!
Forgiveness can be tough…but at the end of the day I would be quite a hypocrite if I was asking others to give me the benefit of the doubt without offering them the same courtesy. Thanks.
I’m so glad you’re in such a good place right now. You deserve it. I’m extremely proud of you and I know I don’t say that nearly enough.
