So here goes another one of my rants. A sort of confession if you will. Lately, I've noticed that I often do things for other people, expecting something in return. But I'm starting to realize that my heart is in the wrong place when I have that mindset. I need to do things for other people simply because it's the right thing to do, and not expect them to reciprocate. I need to learn to want to help out others. Not because I want something in return, not because I'll look like a better person if I do, but do it simply because.
Now that that little spiel is over. I only have twenty-six days remaining of my freshman year of college. I'm completely overwhelmed at the moment with everything I have to get done in those four weeks. Seems like a long time, but it's really not. Oh well, like the famous artist, Chuck Close said, "If you're overwhelmed by the whole, break it down into pieces." In other words, I'm going to just take one thing at a time instead of focusing on everything that has to be done.
But other than that, I'm super excited about this summer and school next year. It's going to be awesome.

  1. I think you should always expect something in return, but not necessarily from the received...you should expect it from yourself. Allow your self to feel better and bask in the satisfaction of knowing you did something good and right. That's just as important as doing the thing in the first place. "Give and you shall receive"...That means exactly what it says! Don't ever expect nothing in return. If nothing else, this Universe operates on a principle of balance.
    Enjoy the hols!
