My Love language...

Many of you I'm sure have read or heard of the book/workbook " The Five Love Languages".In case you want to take the survey too.. Well, just in case you needed a refresher of what they are.. here goes: Quality Time, Acts of Service, Gifts, Words of Affirmation, and Physical Touch. Most men from what I've heard are typically physical touch. Women tend to be acts of service, well... I guess I'm a "dude" because my top love language is physical touch according to the survey I completed a few weeks ago. I think that is why it's been so hard for me for awhile no,here in Texas, without someone who I can count on to live with, check on me, hug me, you know. I'm not trying to throw a pity party, to be frank, I'm just trying my best to figure out what my deal is with my lack of personality lately. The funny thing is most people are typically one love language or another but for me, . I was pretty "needy" all across the board so I guess sleeping, eating and working all the time is just starting to wear on me. I'm hoping once classes begin again it wil take my mind off of myself so much and more on other people like it should be anyway. I know I'm not here in this world to be catered to but to cater others. Once again I just need to remind myself that there are people way worse off than myself and to look on the bright side. Thinking of all the kids in Africa and how many are literally dying due to lack of touch. Crazy! Not that I'm going to die, but it just shows how serious/needed it is for humankind to be physically touched.

Let me know your love langauge if you google "love language surveys" to see or if you already know. I didn't expect mine to be physical touch but after doing the survey I completely agree with it. Have fun with it.

Summer's Almost Gone...

"Time flys by when your having fun".. Classes are coming up fast. At Southwestern they begin August 21st. I have a big test coming up August 25th I'm preparing for and trying my best not to freak myself out over my brother coming to see me in less than a week without his blanket complete! Eek! I'll be ready when it's complete not that I havent' enjoyed doing it, I'm just ready to see the end project. I guess it's much like life, huh. We hurry through life only because we are so anxious at paying off debt, completing our degree to be out in the "real world" only to find out that the real world can be a very scary place all the while wondering if or when you'll be married or if already married when you'll have a baby or whatver the case may be you get my drift. There seems to be more and more people as days go by bringing up the topic of choice, Recession, and following along with the words,"well if we're not in it I'd hate to see what it's like". While driving to work today as I drank a starbucks drink merely because I was driving by and felt like having a caffeine/coffee rush before work. As I drove to work with gas in my tank, the ac on, radio blaring, cellphone by my side, starbucks drink in my hand I realized just how spoiled I was. How many people can just grab a starbucks drink just because they feel like it or even have a car to go through the drive thru for it? I once heard the percentage of people who own a car in the world and well I dont' remember the exact number but know that it was a VERY low percentage. I complain about so many things hourly, daily, weekly that when it comes down to what I'm complaining about, it clearly DOESN'T MATTER. Who cares if I'm single? Just because I think i'm " behind" doesn't mean I am. Who cares if I don't have kids? Who says having these things makes life any less complicated anyway? Life is waht it is and I firmly believe it's what you make of it. A goal I'm going to do my best at before this year is up is to work hard at what I do but make time for things that maybe I dont' have to make time for but want to, to help others in need or to put a smile on someone elese face other than my own. Have you ever heard someone say that the harder you work at not becoming what you don't want to become.. the more likely you become it anyways if not careful? Well, if you haven't, . maybe I made it up? but the point is I think I've become so closeminded with my own priorities that I've neglected everything else I ever or aspired to did/do.

I'm moving in an apartment soon ( next week) in fact, maybe I can start through hospitality and being a listening ear. I talk enough for two people at times, it's time for me to take a back seat.
