a breath of fresh air

This has been a horrible week, absolutely horrible, and the weeks will only get more difficult - but two hours of my day today were beautiful. It's so nice to open up to people and make yourself vulnerable to them, even for only a short time. You learn so much more about yourself and others when you can do this. You also never know how much you have in common with another person until you really open up to them, and vice versa.

It was a beautiful thing, and I am so glad that I had the opportunity to learn more about these great individuals. My conversation with them today really opened my eyes to a lot of things that have been on my mind this week.

I want to extend an apology to anyone who I may have turned my cold shoulder to this week, or said something snappy to that I didn't mean at all. I have been really stressed this week, but I realized today that my stress is so unnecessary. I need to take my own advice and really put more emphasis on the fact that grades do not matter as much as I really think that they do. What's most important is finding those activities you are passionate about and pursuing those.

It's about finding those people who matter the most to you in life. The ones who make you want to be a better person and figure out who you are and where you are going in life. I want to thank those people that do that for me. You make me stronger. You make me appreciate the little things - you are amazing.

I am excited to see where the rest of the semester goes, even if there is going to be an absurd amount of work and I won't know what to do - I am still ready. I am ready to continue learning about myself and others, because that is what this life is all about. Enjoying the company of people who mean something to you - that is what I am looking forward to for the rest of the semester.
