This blog is my happy place. Whenever I write something, I
imagine talking to my friends in Los Angeles. Even though they’re not
physically in front of me I hear them laugh and converse with me.
I guess that writing blog posts are my way of coping with the
difficulties at home. I hoped that home would be calm and peaceful. It would be
easier to recover from health issues. But if I were to be extremely honest,
it’s everything but that.
UCLA was my escape from home, but I don’t physically have
that anymore. God temporarily took that away from me. But God never took away
my friends and the memories I share with them. They still live in me and make
me happy.
But again, I don’t physically have them anymore. Something
else fulfills my happiness: my happiest moments are when I read the bible. God
humors, encourages, and comforts me in ways that I cannot comprehend.
How do words on a page replace the intimacy I had with my LA
friends?
Whenever I learn something fascinating from God, I get
really excited! My mind just explodes and I praise him. I pace back and forth
and I preach the blog post several times in my head. I imagine being behind a
podium and proclaiming God’s glory. My friends are listening to me, laughing
with me, and are in awe of God.
After speaking to my imaginary podium, I write down my
message and publish it.
