"However many blessings we expect from God, His infinite liberality will always exceed all our wishes and our thoughts."

My community has changed so drastically and so often over the course of the last nine months. It’s hard to think that just last August, my entire life was a constant with the same people, the same family, the same location, and… at the same time, it didn’t feel like such a big transition here coming into college. Yet as I look back on what I’ve been struggling through this past school year, it’s apparent that the people around us and the community we surround ourselves with have a huge impact on us.
The first transition was fine — typical. A lot of meeting people, a lot of meeting people that you never really talk to again, and then sort of acclimatizing yourself to the people you’re drawn towards and beginning to feel comfortable there.
Yet when second semester came around, and I considered changing communities again… that phase in-limbo — knowing that some people won’t invest as much anymore and others aren’t sure whether to invest yet — was probably one of the hardest parts of this year. And I’ve talked to people about this so much, but I can’t seem to truly move past the fact that all communities are flawed, and that all our relationships are flawed and bound for some sort of failure at some point. Yeah, yeah, I’m being a tad overdramatic and melodramatic, but hey, it’s true to an extent.
But the irony is that because I place so much of my care into these relationships out of which I selfishly expect so much, it puts me in a position of uncertainty, paranoia, and irrational worrying, which only hurts the growth of those relationships.
I’m scared I don’t care as much as I believe I do.
I’m scared others don’t care as much as I believe they do.

someone saying that they’ve missed you
or that they appreciate you
or that something reminded them of you
basically someone making you feel that they’ve thought of you and that you being around means something to them

Considering my crybaby days, it’s strange to think that I haven’t cried for so long, yet…
