As I watched the first session of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints general conference, I didn’t know what was about to hit me. I watched, I stitched Lynsie’s Halloween costume, and I actually took notes. The Spirit was so strong, from the start to the end, from my head to my toes, I was filled. It was during Uchtdorf’s talk that my life was changed.
His talk, to me, suggested that we all re-evaluate our lives. I then started crying like a small child and came to the realization that I’m going to transfer schools as soon as I can. I’ve picked a school, and it’s been confirmed by three people telling me that they thought it was the school I should have picked to begin with. There is a reason I am here, I’ll find it before I transfer. There is nothing wrong with this place, but that place is the better place for me.
"All my life I had been looking for something, and everywhere I turned someone tried to tell me what it was. I accepted their answers too, though they were often in contradiction and even self-contradictory. I was naïve. I was looking for myself and asking everyone except myself questions which I, and only I, could answer. It took me a long time and much painful boomeranging of my expectations to achieve a realization everyone else appears to have been born with: that I am nobody but myself." ~Ralph Ellison, "Battle Royal"
Reavaluating your life is a good thing. But what does this have to do with facial hair?? For a photo of the facial hair and much, much more see my blog posts.
