sex, drugs, and rock and roll

We talked on Tuesday about some very serious issues. I think it would be very hard after being sexually assaulted to go back to normal life. I think it is very important for me to be a good friend to anyone who comes to me with this problem. im glad to know that there are people on campus that can help us with this problem. I know it is a problem that is even on our campus, even though we have a Christian campus.

We also talked about self-image. i am very mad and heartbroken when i think about this issue because it sometimes feels that at least part of it could be prevented if people were not greedy and wanted to make money from adds for things in magazines that none of us need. i think it is important to get to know a person. that is what makes them us is how they act, what there sense of humor is about. and how comfortable they feel in their skin. I think it is important to encourage one another to get to know each other on a deep level so that we can eliminate walls between people who like different styles, and looks. its cliche to say that the only thing that matters is the personality of the person. looks do matter, but i think its more about the presentation than the actual size and figure God gave us. if we present ourselves like prostetutes and change our appearance to please people, thats just crap. Its so fun just to be myself and find people that really love me nomatter what, even if my personality sucks, there are people who still love me. its also good to know that God will still love me even if i make mistakes, and still has a plan for me :)
