That very small six letter word, is it greater than life? Is it better than morality? Is it better to follow your desires then anything else?
If you answered yes to most of those, you are being too honest with yourself.
The past month I have been dwelling on this very thought. Everything I want to do, everything I enjoy doing, is something I desire. Who desires things they don't like? Being a human ravaged by the unfairness of evil I find myself feeling extremely selfish. Nothing unnatural about being selfish, but I know better than that. I know I should desire things of God, I know, but it only goes that far. To actively pursue God in your daily life is asking for the impossible. There are going to be days that I simply neglect Him. Sometimes it festers for days. All of a sudden I find myself in a web I do not want to be in. Yet here I lay.
SMOOTH TRANSITION!
The first week of college is....OVER. Yup, I have survived the ordeal, but it was only one week. I have about 15 more to go....Let's not think about that. Let's just think about what I have done. My professors are all very nice. All women, so I am happy I don't have a grumpy old man with a superiority complex. Thankfully homework isn't too bad, I managed to finish it all within two days. So now I have a huge three day weekend to relax. Sort of. I have found out something new about myself. I am extremely restless. I cannot and refuse to relax if I have homework that still needs to be done. It is like a canker soar in my mouth. I just have to rip it out.
What, am I the only who does that?
It is so surreal, walking through the campus along side other students. They all look so grownup and adultish. But then I see the reflection of one of the building windows and I realize that I am among these adult-like beings that call themselves college students. I am growing up.
Not a very nice thought. I want to stay young! I want to go back to the times we all used to laugh late into the night. Those times we jumped into the sea when we should have been in bed. Those days of lounging around and enjoying each other's company. Why didn't I appreciate those times more? I should have, and I will.
This song that I chose for this post is called "Summer." It reminded me of all those great times we had during that amazing season. Memories way back when we were careless little kids. Now we are young adults discovering ourselves. I yearn for those days like an old geezer. I know I should move on, but give me this moment. Give yourself this moment, Dear Readers. Listen to this song and just soak in those good times. Then after you finish reading this and listening to the song, go forward! Forward to more great times together.
God bless us EVERYONE!
