last night we had a meeting for the youth and young adults of our cluster, of which there are 40+. 11 people showed up. 9 of which are from my community and the neighboring community. it was frustrating to say the least. reminded me all too well of the georgia tech baha'i club, where we have about 15 baha'is on campus, and no one shows up to anything.
anyways, we talked a lot about how we cannot be reliant on anyone else to do the work of the faith for us. how the entire weight of the world is on our shoulders. and not on our collective shoulders, but on each individual's shoulder. the entire weight of the world is on my shoulders. i can't just sit back and wait for someone else to do the work. last night put a lot of things back in perspective for me.
recently, many of my conversations with dear ones has revolved around the topic of independence, strength, and respect. i've learned so much from the hardships that were endured a few months ago. and there is still so much to learn. i'm ready.
hopes for the next two weeks:
--to sleep outside under the stars at least once
--to spend as much time with my grandmother as possible
--to visit maya
--to spend at least one afternoon at the beach
--to lie under the santa cruz stars
--to fall in love with 17 other individuals
--to not hold back
--to enjoy every single moment of youth week
--to not take anything for granted
