Relationships?

It seems at least here at Ozark, that so many people put emphasis on finding a girl/guy before they leave the school. I, however, am not one of those people anymore. Ever since I moved out of the dorms and the constant hypocrisy of it all I have begun a journey to better understand why this is such an important thing to so many people. I think that insecurity plays a huge role in all of this garbage thinking. Students need to be focusing on things that are important for them to focus on: Graduation! It is so disheartening and frustrating to hear time and time again, 'I'm not gonna find anyone' or 'Man I really wish that he/she were into me!.' The fact of the matter is that people are built to make choices and we can't force anything that isn't there. I'm not trying to 'bash' those that are happily married and are leading wonderful lives together. I'm just trying to say that getting married early is not an option for everyone.

I was totally hell bound on trying to find a wife at Ozark that I wouldn't even talk to a girl if I didn't feel attraction towards her. That is ludicrous when I go back and think about it! As guys/girls we need to realize that we are, in the words of Lil' Wayne, 'The sh*t because I was leaving skid marks on everywhere I sit. I am it.'

Confidence is a huge part of what girls look for in a guy. They don't want some whiny, Halo playing looser to come up and talk to them about how depressed they are. God wants us to realize how important we are first, then He wants us to prove it to people. If someone doesn't like you who cares? Honestly though, you are young, you are awesome and you don't need to worry so much! I'm not trying to sound arrogant, this is just what I have come to realize over this last semester. Stop trying to change who you are and start trying to prove to the world that you are awesome! Then girls/guys will get to notice you!

In the end we are Jesus' bride and we are going to join Him in a relationship that far exceeds anything we could imagine.

It is a slap in God's face when we look down on who we are and become depressed.

So rise up! Be who you are! And above, all things represent!

I love you! You are awesome!
God thinks so and that is all that matters in the end right?! RIGHT! Boo-Yah!!!
