Tuesday, 24 May 2011

Today I spent most of my Latin Grammar class making post-it notes with small messages like the one in the picture. It may seem rather pointless to some people but I believe in the saying that a small kindness can go a long way.



Today, I decided that college classes are not worth stressing over. I worked on today's assignment, I didn't get to do all of it, but I was still able to go to that class I had in the evening without feeling anxious. For the past few days, I have been feeling way better than I'd been feeling for months, probably years. Life is such a beautiful thing if you actually take the time to look at your surroundings and pluck up the courage to talk to people. I've been able to settle things with someone I hadn't been talking to for months because of a mistake I had made. I've met new people, I've even made a few friends. I've realized that, for now, my mission is to be kind, plainly speaking, to be human. For some reason, the hardest things is to be kind towards those who are closest to me - my family. But with patience and most of all, with God's help, I know I will manage eventually. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

The lecturer mentioned in yesterday's post deserves credit for most of this, because basically, he is the one who inspired it. Maybe I will show this to him at some point in the distant future. For now, I will keep his identity to myself because I feel it's the right thing to do. I don't want to mix up personal and academic things again.

Actually, there are so many amazing, inspiring, beautiful people out there that would deserve to be named. One of them is a dear friend of mine who has a blog called Love Movement.
She is a supporter of TWLOHA (To Write Love On Her Arms), GivesMeHope and Operation Beautiful. One of her goals is to spread their messages of hope among German-speaking people as well. A big thanks goes out to her for sharing these positive thoughts!
