I Miss It

I got the kairos letter I wrote to myself a few days ago. It was a trip at first. I was looking at the envelope and I knew the handwriting on the enveloped looked very familiar. Thaaats because it was mine. hahaha. Anyway, I went to my room and read it and it took me back. And tonight, I re-read a whole bunch of my letters (it's currently 3:34 am by the way). A majority of my letters were actually pretty hillarious but, back then I was crying for every single thing. I remember reading all these letters on the steps in front of the chapel freezing my ass off, shivering, and crying. Whatever, I didn't care. I was worth it. Kairos was the best. It was the first time in my life when I was able to open up. Before kairos I don't think I'd find myself having the strength to face a crowd of 52 and talk openly. It felt okay to cry in front of everyone when I got up to the podium to share...Let's just say that Kairos is pretty damn INTENSE!

Things I Miss.

 I miss sleeping in that little cubicle thing(even if it was scary sometimes), looking at that breathtaking view, the alone time, the together time, laughing, crying (my eyes have never gotten so swollen), the talks, snack table (haha), and table Integrity. I miss all the 52!

A few quotes from the talks

-"Knowing yourself is an ongoing practice that will continue for the rest of your life."

-"Sometimes we don't know ourselves because we are afraid to be ourselves."

-"You need to learn to love yourself before you can learn to love others."

-"My values are the root of my ideals, my ideals stem from values."

-"Chance made us friends and hearts made us brothers and sisters."

-"love is just not there to make you feel good, when it comes to real love, you have to take the good and the bad."

-There will be many times we fail to put our love into action , but failure is a part of life, and you must be willing to start all over again."

...AMAZING...
