you know, i've given it a lot of thought, and today i thought even harder. yesterday the campus mail was flooded by spiritual announcements from the chaplain and what's going on in all kinds of services; it's something we get every week and i check out just to see who's speaking about what, and things like that, and my favorite part, the quote of the week.
this week's quote was just a smack in the face, and i turn the other cheek now:
love thy neighbour as thyself.
today i thought about it even more, you know, .. and i kind of heard the girl making weird noises through the wall.. like she was on the phone and crying, but i didnt know she was on the phone, i just heard a lot of crying.. and i debated and just.. really considered going over and really talking to her. i think the whole concept coincides nicely with the lenten season commencing today. definitely going to need help with it!
thanks for reading dear! we shall have to catch up, but this is a good way to ease back into a semblance of knowing :P
It's... hard to turn the other cheek. I'll pray for you. I think that's an awesome consideration, and it makes me smile to hear you say this.
Yeah, semblence of knowing. We'll talk intermittantly, I'm sure; I haven't been keeping up with people a whole lot, lately... I really should, as I can see the effects of reclusivity, and I'd rather stay connected to people!!
Thanks for the love, which, post script, is returned as usual.
this situation has escalated and it is even harder to try and turn the other cheek and just deal. the whole love thy neighbor is ridiculously difficult to manage when the neighbor has only bad vibes, accusations, aggression, etc. as well as RA participation. keep praying.. ugh. though sky and i are really contemplating speaking with some higher-ups about the situation for a possible r00m change.. yeah, i know....
but yes.. talking intermittantly.. i did get your voicemail and i mean very much to return the call, perhaps soon i will actually get to that point, as i'm having so much ridiculousness in keeping up with people/time/studies/ life itself? yes. connected to reality? hardly. connected via clogged sinuses? very. the earache is worse after one week of shitty antibiotics failing me... garrrraargrghahghhh..!!!
anyways.. yes......
umm...
hah
thanks for keeping up at least this way. i should do a real post again sometime... maybe..
