University, I've been told is one of the best times of your life and probably the most challenging. Coming home again reaffirms how tough it is, as you neither feel whole at home or at uni, you feel a little bit is missing when you're at home-uni and when you're at uni you feel a little bit is missing-home. This week is rapidly vanishing and the time I'm spending no longer seems to be my own, it's full of work and meeting with people. Whereas back at uni I know I will have too much time and so little to do. I'd rather be back at uni but at the same time rather be here-I'm in limbo.
But in a time of over analysing, far too many thoughts and so little time, it is a true blessing to get a message from a friend (who you haven't spoken to in a while) that says just the right things. Says those few words that you want to hear at a time like this...
I received a message likewise today and it was so touching, just to know that someone is thinking of you, enough so to send you a message and just to say that they are there for you and love you. It was just what I needed to read, a reassuring message because it's nice to know that someone understands! What a blessing! It made me realise that I need to send a letter to a girl who is sinking fast into the trap of an unhelpful relationship, where she already feels she may have gone too far and her own self-esteem seems in tatters. Maybe just sending her a letter telling her how beautiful she is and valued will help her find her identity not in him but in God, by sharing my past experiences (I'm not saying I have had loads, but I've had one that may help) maybe she'll feel like someone understands, and sometimes that's all it takes... One person to listen, one person to try, one person who can inspire, motivate and change a life.
