Lesson Learned

So I just got done having a life-changing moment. And I know it sounds silly, but I just had a truly amazing moment. I was sitting in the library with a few of the people that I am supposed to try and guide. The conversation that resulted was mind blowing. One of my peers divulged the story of their past, it's ramifications on their life now, and their hope that it won't influence their future in a negative way. I have never considered my life to be so blessed or sheltered. At the same time I can't remember when I've felt so honored. This conversation appeared out of no where and was 1 hour of my life that I would gladly relive. The diversity and adversity in a person's background can shape them into truly admirable people. This is rarely the case, but when it does happen it is like a rare diamond. It made me think of life as a form of Manifest Destiny or "The Road Less Traveled" by Robert Frost. Your life is what you make it. It is mind over matter, but it does matter what you do. Never take a moment for granted, especially the ones spent with others. Life can be beautiful if you take the chance to look around.

So thank you, dear friend, because my worries are no longer worries, just something to work through.
