I miss the simplicity of life before college, yet I know finishing college will in no way replace that youthful carelessness. I'm fully aware that its unhealthy to live in the past, but sometimes I do wish that more of my life was akin to the days gone by - only with the knowledge I have now. There are so many things I would have put less emphasis on, so many lessons I would have learned in a less difficult fashion.

Yet those niave mistakes shape us somehow.

Isn't it odd?

Speaking of the past, I've had a recurring dreaming about a certain memory that really seems to bother me.

I was hanging out with a good friend, and he did something stupid - not intentionally mind you. It was simply a lack of experience, but an older person reacted violently. Threatened him, and I stood by him. Even as much as to stand in the way of his being harmed. I stood - and the older guy finally lost his anger and left.

It didnt really occur to me until after harms way had passed that we had been in a really scary situation and I had basically put my life on the line for a friend.
It's affected me deeply to just reflect on what I did somewhat unwittingly.

Yet Christ did it knowingly.

I hope I would do the same for you my friend.
