I thought I might as well give some thoughts since I haven't been on in awhile.
It's been a wild year. I'm officially 18, and let me tell you, sometimes I feel older than my years.
something you may not know about me, but I've found something incredible in teaching. I love it. with everything I have. But its also saddened me, seeing kids who have been disillusioned with school and learning, the ones who just don't care. and I know exactly what they feel, i was the same way just 5 or so years ago. But I see such brilliance beneath them they just don't recognize and it pains be beyond anything. I love working with them. They can annoy me, try to kill me, literally anything, and I would still love them.
It's put into perspective that my life is not my own. This was given to me by God. Why am I living in the way I want to. I'm frustrated when someone says "you're gonna burn yourself out like that" because that's just stupid. I lose myself every day, and find it in others. My life is not my own. It is given to others, and I find myself more full than when I was focused inwardly. There is a God, I swear that's true. But kindness doesn't just feel good, its the purest form of joy. It is the purest form of helping yourself.
I'm not planning on coming back here all too often. I have too much stuff to do, too many people to help, too much love to give, but I want you all to know that service is the best form of love. Its worth it, I promise.
