Hi Joe, thank you for your kind words.<br />
I am a Christian and am lucky enough to have not one, but two amazing Church families. I am a student so when I am 300 miles away from home at University I go to one Church and then at the holidays I go to my home Church. I don't think, without the help, encouragement and support of my Church here at University I would have been able to cope with living so far away from family and friends.

Cheryl your post is very impressive and revealing. I have no doubt you are on a good path. Life isn't easy for any of us; which is how it should be. Without some struggle life wouldn't mean much. I see that you are a spiritual person but perhaps not allowing that side of you to be nourished as much as it needs. We have to spend so much time on our mental development when we are young that we sometimes short change our physical and spiritual sides. I hope you are a member of a religious or…
Cheryl your post is very impressive and revealing. I have no doubt you are on a good path. Life isn't easy for any of us; which is how it should be. Without some struggle life wouldn't mean much. I see that you are a spiritual person but perhaps not allowing that side of you to be nourished as much as it needs. We have to spend so much time on our mental development when we are young that we sometimes short change our physical and spiritual sides. I hope you are a member of a religious or spiritual group. If not give it a try. You will find support and love from others in the group that will strengthen you spiritually and make life's challenges easier. I know that I do. Cheryl, I'm impressed.

Cheryl, I'm impressed. That was a very interesting blog post. I've always said there's nothing wrong with being different. Look back at all the successful people in history. They thought differently, they behaved differently, they looked at the world differently. Going along with what the masses thought or said was against their nature. They were ridiculed and dismissed offhand for their ideas but they continued on regardless to make successes of themselves. Invention and innovation has at its…
Cheryl, I'm impressed. That was a very interesting blog post. I've always said there's nothing wrong with being different. Look back at all the successful people in history. They thought differently, they behaved differently, they looked at the world differently. Going along with what the masses thought or said was against their nature. They were ridiculed and dismissed offhand for their ideas but they continued on regardless to make successes of themselves. Invention and innovation has at its very core one person who wants to do things differently. Believe in yourself, find your inner strength and you will succeed.<br />

What a lovely and thoughtful piece, Cheryl. You hang on to that small piece of light. Nurture it and it will grow. It's very easy to see the negatives surrounding us and it takes work to see the positives some days. But remember that you are not them. You'll make your choices and they will make theirs. And there will be more people you perhaps don't even know yet that think more on your wavelength than those who want to party all the time. Like you, they will know there's more to life than…
What a lovely and thoughtful piece, Cheryl. You hang on to that small piece of light. Nurture it and it will grow. It's very easy to see the negatives surrounding us and it takes work to see the positives some days. But remember that you are not them. You'll make your choices and they will make theirs. And there will be more people you perhaps don't even know yet that think more on your wavelength than those who want to party all the time. Like you, they will know there's more to life than materialism and superficiality.<br />

I believe in my heart that when you give out positive energy, you attract like minded people to you Cheryl. We all draw others to us unconsciously through the way we project ourselves. Birds of a feather and all that. :)<br />

Parents just do the best they can to help prepare their children for the world. I feel society is becoming more self indulgent every day but each person chooses whether to join that mindset or not. I don't think we're meant to have all the answers. That's what we need to seek out, and soul searching is part and parcel of that growth. :)
