today i was at an event where i saw a lot of people that knew me when i was small. so i got to tell a lot of the same stories to everyone.
i've been to four schools in four years. switched majors, still undeclared. still undecided.
this normally discourages me because other people my age are graduating from college this year, with big bright plans and exciting prospects for a successful future. but i did things differently. so my stories are not satisfying because they're all cliffhangers. and when you're at a party, people aren't looking for suspense - they are looking for pleasantries and resolution. which i can't honestly give. that's not what's happened.
usually the problem-solvers try to probe deeper, asking questions like, "but kelsey, what are you passionate about?" "what do you want to do for a career?" or my favorite, "kelsey, is there anyone special in your life right now?" but today, these people were just excited to hear where God had brought me, and offered me encouragement for where i am. where i am, here today. i can't tell you how refreshing that was.
my story is different. and i want to get to a place where i enjoy telling it.
