A Complete Rant

So. This will be a kind of rant. Just a few things...I hope.

Thing # 1: I'm sick of this "you can do anything you want..." mindset. #1 reason: It is a lie and too vague. There will be somethings I can NEVER do. #2 It is so overwhelming to be told this as if you already don't know the ridiculous amount of choices you are faced with. #3 It causes people to lose sight or never really ask God what HE wants for their lives. All the hear from the time they are young is "YOU can be anything YOU want..." God is never factored into that statement...which is completely ridiculous. What they should say, "God will lead you where you need to be. Be patient and do the best you can." This gives the person a tip on what he or she needs to be doing in thewhilst watiting for God to point a clear path. It isn't the least bit vague.

Thing # 2: I'm a bit overwhelmed from people putting me in the middle of situations and of myself doing this very thingto my very own self. My shoulders are too saggy to bear this weight...and it just keeps happening over and over. I love talking to people. I love listening to people. Problem is: I have this "I need to solve it." complex. Anytime anyone tells me anything I IMMEDIATELY begin to rack my brain for possible solutions. Thing is, I do not KNOW very many solutions and feel entirely like a failure when I can't "fix" these problems. Feeling like a failure isn't the problem....it's the failing part.

Thing # 3: Why do I let myself say thing I later regret ever saying? Why didn't I come with a filter? One that filters my words BEFORE I say them...not AFTER they're said.

Thing # 2 has been bothering me for quite a while. I have an internal "you need to fix their problem" mechanism that kicks into overdrive. When really what I NEED to have is an internal "you need to pray for them" mechanism. I can't fix very much on my own...only God knows what each and every person truly needs. For some reason, I can't get that through my skull. Fingers and heart realize it...but brain just won't accept that. HOW ANNOYING!

Thing # 1 is just a pet peeve. Not really a problem per se.

Anyway, those are the things that have been on my brain and heart for the past few minutes...so there ya have it. Any suggestions?

Just a little glimpse

I live the life of a college student. And although it is time consuming, demanding, stressful, etc....I try to capture every single second of it. Trying to make sense of life is like trying to make a square a circle...some things just aren't meant to be. As I attempt to figure things out, I will let you know of my findings!
