i am in my mental health rotation right now, and i am really trying to make the most of it. for someone who is [incredibly] task oriented, it was almost a death sentence to be told to simply sit and talk to people for 6 hours twice a week. i say it again, i really am trying people.
anyway, one of the patients that i was talking to tonight made a statement that really made me stop and think...he said that "optimists really expect too much from the world." wow. since i [typically] view myself as an optimists i really took this statement to heart. do i expect too much out of the world? no, i don't think so. i think i have faith. faith in God, faith in others, faith in humanity. yes, the world can be a horrible place, i am reminded of this every single day [especially the days that i go to work]. but there is still goodness in the world, this i am convinced of. and the more that i learn about God and fall in love with him, the more i am convinced that there is a bigger plan for my life. me being an optimist doesn't mean that i expect too much from the world, but that i know that God will take care of me through it all. God has a plan for my life, even when it seems that my life is spinning out of control. i cling to this promise, sometimes it is the only thing that gets me through the day.
on a side note, i don't know if i have ever shared my love for a cappella music [especially male a cappella groups. anyone? anyone?]. it makes my heart sore. good music soothes my soul, and i definitely group a cappella in this category. in addition, i am somewhat of a closet katy perry [or better referred to as kp] fan. as well as a fan of the show glee. so you can imagine how i felt about this scene in the most recent episode. and for those of you that know of my addiction to itunes, yes, this song has already been downloaded and listened to on repeat. all day. current play count is 33. don't judge me...
