At school, I filled my schedule to the brim, taking every possible opportunity to hang out or be social. It's what I loved, and I wouldn't have it any other way. But the day I came home for summer, that outlook took a 180 turnaround. This summer will be one for me to relax, recover, and reflect, to figure out who I am and what I really want. Over the past several months at school, I've had to put on a face everyday, and it got tedious. Don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed getting to know everyone, but it was rather exhausting. I think my friends will be shocked to know that socially this summer I'm going to be something of a hermit crab. I'll be the one who goes to work 8 hours a day, comes home and reads, then goes to bed. I'm actually looking forward to being antisocial and not doing anything for once.
Although, I won't be completely out of the loop. I've agreed to be the guy intern for Shandon's youth group. Hence the 8 hours a day of work. So all of my social time will be spent with the kids in the youth group.
...we'll see how long that lasts, before I lose my sanity and demand interaction with anyone from the past 9 months. I sense some road trips in my future.

Dont forget about the power that is in the Silence.
ReplyDeleteIf this is what you seek and truly want I pray that you find your purpose in life. Please get as much rest as you can. Bill brings up a good point in the power of silence.
ReplyDeleteThis upcoming semester will be a challenge for you as everyone will want your attention/time. And while you may want to appease everyone (this includes BCM) remember to take time out for yourself. Along with silence, "NO," is also a powerful tool.
