Better to write for yourself and have no public, than to write for the public and have no self. ~Cyril Connolly

Love
When someone tells you they would give up their seat in Heaven for you, you know it's true love. God made me the way I am for someone special. I have made many mistakes, but all can be forgiven if I ask. I hope that I can be all the my Love is. Love you are all that anyone could ask for and God put you in my life for a special reason. Tonight has been a rough night but I want you to know I love you. I want to be the best I can be for God and for you. God's answered your questions, now I must ask Him mine. He will show me the way. His plan will be revealed. Love always and forever.

Motorcycles!
So today I got my motorcycle permit which is kind of exciting! I don't actually own a bike, but I hope to get one someday. The problem is that I don't have time for an actual job right now. So I need ideas for alternate legal ways to make money while in college. Please comment and help me out.
Self
What makes up our sense of self? Is it how we were raised, the friends we made, or events? I believe all of these play a role in our sense of self. The way we are raised influences are beliefs and morals. Personality develops with socialization. Major events over the course of our lives play a huge role in our sense of self. Being raised in a Southern Baptist environment enabled me to develop certain beliefs about the afterlife, my view of God, morals, and also provided an opportunity for socialization. Many of the friends I made at church remain some of the most import people in my life. I can rely on these people to set me straight, provide comfort in times of need, and help me make difficult decisions. All of these have made me into the person I am today. Sense of self, for me, is a complex idea. Sometimes I feel like I don't really know what "categories" I fit in to. I was raised Baptist, played sports as an athlete, lover, southern, and tomboy. All these describe who I am, but there's a lot more to me. My hope is that I can be more honest with myself and find a place for me on this Earth.
