Day 14

So here's the deal, I'm totally comfortable putting some pictures of me up on here, but not really my family, don't know why, just kind of the way I am. But my family has recently discovered this show, and it basically reminds us of our own family.
I've got a sister a lot like Claire, and her husband is like Phil.  I have a brother like Alex (but he's a boy), my dad and Jay are fairly similar.  It's awesome, so yeah, this one was lame... The end.

Day 13

Not recent, but here you go.

Hey,

I don't hate you.  I thought I would for the rest of my life, but I don't.  When I finally was able to understand what you did to me, I had to stand there in the rubble of my life, and all I could think was how much I hated you for destroying the perfect life I could have had.  I hated you. People would mention you, and I couldn't handle it.  The thought of your face, or your voice made me so angry, and I would lapse into my own world of self-pity and pain.  I just want you to know, that what happened was not okay.

But I also want you to know that I've forgiven you.  I don't really know what sort of things happened to push you to the point you were at when your life crashed into mine and unraveled everything I wanted.  That's what I realized after spending an eternity of hating you, there was a gleam of light that entered my heart.  What happened to you?  I can see the scars, and the reasons for the pain that pushed you into destroying someone else.  If I had been as broken as you were, would I have made it, or would I have crushed someone smaller? 

It's weird how hate can turn to pity.  Maybe you don't want my pity, but I still haven't reached the point where I can love you.  I just pity you for all that happened to you.  I don't know where you are now, and I won't in this life .Just know, I forgive you.  The hurt you left has healed, the scars are still there, but the pain is gone.

Not really sure what to put here,

Me.

Day 12...

...Proves that I just stole this thing from Tumblr...
This whole how I found out about Tumblr is dumb, but I'll explain it to you, because you're here, and obviously you have nothing better to do, so basically, had a friend in high school, who was really sassy, and she showed me the link to her tumblr, and I wanted to write more, so I made one. The end.

Day 11

My favorite book is The Picture of Dorian Gray.  For being a classic with a theme, I love the fact ta Oscar Wilde is able to teach the moral, without getting extremely preachy.  I love the plot, it's original, and actually really interesting.  The characters are developed, and even though Dorian is kind of a punk, I still find him very captivating, and see myself in him.  I just really love everything about the book, I could read it twice a year and never get bored of it.
This book is actually how I converted someone to the ways of the English majors, so it's a pretty special book in my heart.

Day 9

Without the attempt of sounding cliche, my biggest achievement was surviving a two year mission for the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.  I was one of those guys who shows up uninvited at your door, and wants to talk to you about Jesus, and all you can think is "I really don't have time for you."  I spent two years trying to teach and love people in Southern California, while simultaneously trying to learn what I really believed and learning how to love myself for who I am.  

Every single person who has ever served a mission realizes that it's hard, but it's not necessarily the aspects that you think will be hard.  It's random things, when I left I thought it would be hard because of the rejection, and the absence of friends and family, and the hardness of the work.  But those just sort of are life, and they don't make it hard at all.  It was hard for me in unexpected ways. It was hard because I realized there are people I seriously struggle loving. It was hard in the fact that the whole time you feel completely incompetent.  It's hard in the fact that I've never been able to really express how I feel, and that's essential as a missionary, whether you're talking about the gospel and what it means to you, or you're expressing to a companion why you're acting a certain way.  It's hard in the fact that even though it is so hard, you know that your family back home is expecting nice uplifting messages from you, and so you can't turn to them and wallow in self-pity.

And it's those things that make me so proud of surviving.  I did make it. I love myself a little more, I try to love others a little more.  I don't wallow in as much self pity.  I also have learned that rejection is not really that bad, (and now I work in a call-center), and I realized that as incompetent as I feel, I still have gifts and talents, and it is possible to develop and progress, even if right now I feel like I'm not good enough, that just means work harder, I'm not stasis, I can improve, and learn and grow.
