retropost: opposing forces

[written 9/10/12]


things i LOVE(/like a lot)
  • doing things i enjoy with people who have similar interests, values, experiences, and senses of humor as me.
  • having serious and impactful discussions about God with people equally or more spiritually mature/experienced.
  • awesome music that is so beautiful/impactful/generally awesome that it makes me want to scream and cry and laugh and run around and do cartwheels and fall to the floor in weakness all at the same time, and that often makes me make strange and embarrassing sounds, faces and gestures.
  • playing games/watching movies/doing other fun stuff with people i enjoy.
  • being deeply understood (and loved in spite of it).
 things i HATE(/dislike a lot)
  • having every inch of space and time crammed with stuff.
  • seeing people in pain and not being able to do anything to help.
  • having wonderful relationships go a different (and uncomfortable) direction than i had hoped.
  • repeatedly stumbling over the same shortcoming multiple times over the course of years, despite all efforts to overcome it.
  • having something i LOVE(/like a lot) get in the way of something else i LOVE(/like a lot) even more.
  • having something wonderful almost within grasp, yet completely unattainable because of stupid and unimportant obstacles that will always be there.
