Forgiveness

Sep 02, 2005 23:43

I wish I had something to really believe in. Other than my faith in God, because, yes, I believe there is a God, and I pray to this God, especially in times like this in my life. Outside of that, I want something to really be passionate about and work for. Something really important that will leave my mark on this life. I am going, from now on ( Read more... )

I think you already do leave positive marks on people. I certainly have them. I think also, that you shouldn't be to terribly hard on yourself, certainly be critical but not to the point of self effacement. You are a good person Sandy.

I really wanted to say something else. You know me I really don't believe in god/s or the supernatural, but that doesn't stop me from trying my hardest and believing in things(rather strongly in fact). I think there is a real danger for christians to resign themselves to the sky, and this is almost as bad as believing in nothing because it takes the focus out of the act of living, and even if thier is a god/s or some sort of supernatural force, I dont think it directs us to ignore the beauty of living. I guess we all need to believe in something exceedingly abstract though, personally I believe in the future, the potential of this experiment in humanity--I like being a part of that, I feel connected and high just thinking about it.

Bottom line is, you are the only one who can make you happy. So own that. Forgive yourself. Worry about you and let the rest take care of themselves. Be passionate about yourself!

Remember: Time wounds all heels. ;)

Thanks so much! Actually, that is what I am going to do, and I am going back to Indiana, at least for a pretty long visit. I know this seems crazy, but Greg and I are actually getting along better than ever. I might just need a break, and that's why I tried to push him away. He admitted that he does still love me, he just doesn't see it working right now. We believe it could maybe work in the future, but we need to take care of some things in our own lives first. :)
