Today, as I sat in my first class of the semester, it was easy for me to wonder if this is all worth it. Although I find the psychology field VERY fascinating and I am grateful for the opportunity to attend classes again, I was feeling a little overwhelmed at how far I still have yet to go. Far to go within this new field to make any sort of difference. Far to go to figure out if I even CAN make a difference. Then the lovely teacher assigned her students into groups to interview each other and that was the point I wanted to get up and run. High tail it out of there because I felt so uncomfortable sitting in this classroom. I didn't want to talk about myself and certainly didn't want to talk to anybody else because I am just plain tired of my story.
However, I forced myself to stay glued to my seat throughout the break, interview another classmate and even stand up and introduce my peer in front of 40+ people. U-n-c-o-m-f-o-r-t-a-b-l-e.
But during the midst of all of it, something miraculous happened. The little tiny stories about people started to surface, people fumbled, people cheered and at times we all laughed. In a super short amount of time I felt as though I got to know a lot more people. Some of us even formed the beginnings of a bond. Then I realized that we all just start by doing the necessary, then doing the possible and soon we are doing the impossible.
I think that's pretty darn FAB.
Monday's Gratitude: I am so grateful for drizzly rain in the land of sunshine.
