Texas

That's right. I'm going to Texas. To see Rae. Tomorrow. Finally, tomorrow. I feel like I've been waiting forever since I booked my flight. But tomorrow I will be in the air, before landing in Dallas and being picked up by Phill or Rae, and welcomed into their home for 2 weeks. I'm so excited! So excited to be with them and their kids. So excited to renew and refresh and relax and help and serve and be helped and served. I can hardly wait. And I hardly have to. And I can't tell you how happy that makes me. Hopefully this is a turning point for the better, I'm so sick of struggling. I'm hoping and praying that this at least turns something around that will go better.

Assumptions

Okay, so this is another bit of a rant, but also a lesson rolled into it. So just call me Teach! Haha!
I'm SO sick of people making assumptions about other people. So sick of it. People look at me, a single, cute, somewhat floundering 20-year-old and assume, "Oh, she must be desperate, let's try and set her up." NO. No. No. no. no. no. NO! Sure, I wouldn't mind Prince Charming coming and sweeping me off my feet. But I honestly (yes I mean these next few words) would rather be single for the rest of my life single than hit on by another creeper. I've been hit on by SO many these past few weeks it is RIDICULOUS! ((Maybe I'll post some later just to give you all a giggle, really it is laughable.)) And I haven't been on a date with a decent guy since high school. And the last decent guy I had a date with isn't interested in girls anymore. Sorry...tangent....
Anyway... Assuming things about people is not right. After that tangent about creepers my arguments a little weak. But there are facts behind the creepiness of the creepers. People all have struggles and vices and triumphs and glories. And we all need to do a little less judging and assuming (even if we think it's a kind assumption). Because you just don't know what they're really going through. You don't know the thoughts they're hiding inside, the feelings they don't let show, the situations they don't talk about. You just don't know. We all need to do a little less talking and a little more listening....especially me.
