Do you believe there is value in suffering?

We have to go through some rough, depressing, and painful times so we can be strong and learn.  If we don't hit a few rough spots in life, we'll never be able to survive.

My personal story would be of this guy I totally adored.  He turned out to be the opposite of what I believed him to be.  Instead of a sweet, caring, and sexy guy, he was a liar, a cheater, a drunk, a druggie, and he had actually beaten a few people to the point of near death.  Oh and he had.. two kids?  He was only 18 at the time too, so ya'll know.

Thing is, even though I was really hurt and that was kind of the start of a depression phase for me, I don't hate him.  That experience has made me really strong and very wise.  I'm not afraid to tell people when I don't like something, and I'm not afraid to stand up for myself.

Bad experiences help us deal with life

Starting the New Year

Posted on Jan 5th, 2009 by flyingfar : Honest Little Listener flyingfar
I'm guessing this is just a personal blog... like a diary... But I'm not positive for sure and so that's why I'm writing here! 

Today I started my second quarter in college and I am so tired.  It took me just about forever and a half to go to sleep last night, then also this morning when my boyfriend woke me up when he was leaving.  I didn't sleep very well, but only my eyes are suffering (yay for stinging.)  I only had two classes today; English and Sociology.  Soc 101 seems like it is going to be a lot of work, but the teacher seems really cool.  English has an alright teacher, but she hasn't gotten me hooked yet.  It just doesn't seem like she cares much for the students.

Tomorrow I'll have to go to my third class too, women studies, and I don't know if I'm too thrilled about it.  I'm not one of those overly-feministic women so I'm not sure how well I'll fit into the class.  Plus it's like two and a half hours long - ZOMGGGGGG!

Owell, guess we'll see! ^_^

What do you have the hardest time asking for?

I have a hard time asking for attention.  I am a pretty shy person around people I don't know, and that makes it so that I get looked over a lot.  I'm always trying to help people out and listen to their problems and stuff, trying to make those people happy.  It's hard for me to draw the attention to myself.  I'm so used to making others the center of attention.

What do you love most about yourself?

I love my honesty the most.  It is really hard to find someone who is honest about everything, so I take great pride in it. 

I have learned to just tell people flat-out that I'm not going to answer their question rather than having to make up a lie.  If something is too personal, or if I don't like something, I'm willing to let the people around me know.  It's who I am.  I love it   ^_^

What's your favorite part of this season?

This was my very first white Christmas!  It was SO awesome!  When I was playing games with my family around noon on Christmas, we were watching the news.  Turns out we beat the record of xmas snow.  The record was set back in 1924, I believe, and we only had two inches.  This year it was just about a foot and a half!  Way awesome

What was the biggest adventure of your past year?

More than a year ago I met an absolutely amazing guy named Justin Carter.  Turns out he lives in NY and that just happens to be on the other side of the country from Washington.  Well lucky me, I fell in love with this boy.  I don't have to even consider any of the other things I have done this year because I know without a doubt that this past summer was the biggest adventure of my life.  My Uncle volunteered to take me to NY to meet the guy of my dreams, and it turned out that he was as perfect in person as he was on the phone.  I had such a wonderful time in New York, and it was totally amazing to be able to bring him back to Washington with me on my way home.  Those two weeks were absolutely wonderful. -Dreamy sigh-
