Our truest responsibility to the irrationality of the world is to paint or sing or write, for only in such response do we find the truth.

identity and vanity
i've officially stopped trying to identify with my family. in fact, i've stopped believing that anyone in my family gives a shit about what i think... or struggle with.
and i've never felt more selfish in my entire life.
adam when school starts up again, lets have a real conversation...where you can just vent, i'll listen ...may not have much to say but i'll listen. then perhaps i could vent.
Adam everyone changes in their own time. I know that some people in your family aren't "there yet". THey are comfortable and don't want to change as it is uncomfortable. I share some of your concerns but with certain people it is hard to get past the surface stuff. Continue to pray. Maybe someone else entirely will wake them up.
