This past weekend, I've learned a great deal about myself as an individual and about others around me on a religious retreat through the Faith Hope Church. I learned first hand some of the most amazing stories about people that I used to just pass in the hallways at school. Many people on this retreat held back and didn't know how to openly talk to strangers about struggles from their past, or anything that's going on in their every day life. For everyone this wasn't an easy thing to do. Most importantly, this outstanding experience showed my I'm not alone in any aspect of my life. It showed me that the people you would least expect to have every day struggles, really do. No one's perfect and the image of perfection can be easily seen through. I've never in my life looked at a person this way until now. One of the most valuable lessons I've learned is to forgive. "Forgive but don't Forget" is the new outlook I've had for the past 4 days. Right now, I don't know how to look at an situation differently. The friendships that I've created this weekend will stay with me forever and are unforgettable. I hope my new outlook on life stays with my forever, because it has changed me as a person for the better.

The whole idea that we're not alone on pretty much any topic or facet of life for that matter finally occured to me this year. When you think about it, with over 6 billion other human beings on this earth chances are there is someone similar to you who shares an opinion with you that you may never even meet. Also, by using technology such as the ipod we're only shutting other people out and not embracing the large communities around us.
