boredom

i am so bored,
but only because i've got so much to do.
so much homework: papers to write, assignmets overdue, tests to study for, classes to finish up. it's all killing me.

boredom, i am realizing, is a terrible demon to have.
it creates the longing to be somewhere else;
somewhere more adventures and different.

i am indeed happy with my life, no matter how much i complain to you about it. i wish i had the motivation to be a better person; a person with virtues like yourself. i long to be someone that catches the eye of those around. i want to be so on Fire with passion, that nothing else matters but Christ.

boredom belongs under my feet, far away from my soul. and i'm going to put it there.

peace & love,
