Ranting.
As I was studying for my World Literature test, I came across a brief break in my notes where I had written a few of my thoughts. My teacher posed the question “how do you express how wars feel?” We had just finished discussing the Iliad by Homer. I wish I could have video taped the way my professor portrayed her fascination with World War II. It gave me much to ponder, and it sparked something within me. I felt drawn to know more. I was reminded of why I am here. I am here to learn and soak up all that I can. I am not here to be distracted by the things of the world. People die everyday and some of them much too young. Embrace what each day brings. I have been living for the future instead of focusing on the tasks which I partake in daily. Each day is a privilege, not something to be taken for granted. I am no better than another; therefore I should not act like it. Do not settle, and be strong. Do not be afraid of persecution; view it as incentive to be successful. Learn from anyone and everyone you can.

YOu are a great young woman! I love your posts! Living in the now is very hard to embrace. Glad you're learning that now!
ReplyDeleteI've been catching up on a few of your most recent posts. I've been thinking on life differently lately. I am usually very in-the-moment, but feel that I have to start thinking of the future now. It's not a bad thing, but I realized, the other day, that I can plan my way while still savoring every moment as it comes. I'm still trying to find that balance, but I don't want to lose sight of the importance of a moment.
ReplyDeleteI love you and your heart, Katie Shaw! I love how focused you are- on life on school on a moment, in the moment. :) You're a beautiful and wonderful girl with zest and zeal and (trying to think of another "Z" word to complete the alliteration trifecta...)
Anyway! I love you!
