My Dad sent me this today and it just struck me. I laughed so hard I literally went into silent-laughter mode, complete with tears coursing down my cheeks. It is so powerfully effective that all I have to do now is think of it… the baby orangutang! The THING! The utter random bizarreness of the whole situation! …and I’m wheezing like my Great Grandma Katie. It’s too awesome not to share.
I’m here because I’m lonely. I’m here because people who are lonely in the same way I am lonely have a very hard time finding each other. .
Being hearing impaired / deaf is lonely.
Having bipolar disorder is lonely.
Being an undergraduate student in your mid-thirties is lonely.
Being a Biblical Studies major is lonely.
Being infertile is lonely.
And even though it shouldn’t be, being desperately in love with God is sometimes the loneliest feeling there is.
So there it is. I’m dropping any attempt to be slick or intellectual or one of the cool kids. I’m just here to share the things I struggle with, the things I’m trying to understand and the things I am learning.
Me too!!! All I have to do is think about, and I crack up!
