"If we could raise one generation with unconditional love, there would be no Hitlers. We need to teach the next generation of children from Day One that they are responsible for their lives. Mankind's greatest gift, also its greatest curse, is that we have free choice. We can make our choices built from love or from fear."
-Dr Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

I just really enjoy that last part of the this quote. I dunno, maybe it's just a time in the lives of millions of people in their early 20s...where we are overloaded with decisions. Life feels too much a like a "choose your own adventure" sometimes where every little deceision will either make you or break you (Even though that's so not true at all)But lately I've been trying to decide whether or not I want to do my third year in 1 year or 2. And up until yesterday I was convinced that I was going to do it in two (I mean...more basketball? duh!). I find that I'm questioning my motives a lot more lately, and as a result persection has been changing. Now I'm pretty sure that I'm going to take the plunge...have a year where terror will reign and still graduate 2008.
Haha and I think most of that decision has been influenced by how much I appreciate people in my class; the support that is there. People like Robyn, Andrea, Steph, Julie...that I could NOT do this degree without! I'm so committed to these people which is strange for me to realize because I always thought that I was detached. And then again this week it hit me when I was talking to Stefani and she mentioned just how committed we both are to our friendship. Committment has always been such a scary and boring word to me. Something that if I could avoid that I would more crazy or adventurous. But there is just so much safety in committment. Could you image what it would be like if God wasn't committed to us every second of our lives? (even though we can't return that as much as we try). But there's a special kind of safety that is built even in relationships that have lasted for decades! I dunno, that was huge for me. And remember committment and attachment are two different things as well. Hmmmmmmmmmm....
