Sixth Diary

A stumble is not a fall.
Remember that Jennie. You're not falling.

Leslie and Hunter

I always think about her when my mind asks me "why do I have to go through this?" Somehow thinking about Leslie and what she's done for me in my undergrad years gives me hope to push harder and energy to "just do it." I remember telling her "I don't know how to thank you enough," she told me her story and how I "can pay back by helping others who come to me with problems and questions." She is the one who reassured me for the first time that I have the ability to help others and not just ask for one.

Me and lovely Hunter. He is indescribable in words-- you just gotta meet him! There is something about babies that just lifts me up. Maybe it's their smell, maybe it's their eyes. Maybe it's just their presence, of a baby suddenly just being there, out of absolutely nowhere! I don't have to talk when I see him, but we still have a great time together. (I certainly hope he does) Hunter helped me realize that communication isn't all about talking non stop, bragging about favourite music, hobbies and life topics, rather it's all about connection. And you know when you're CONNECTING to someone when their presence is all you can see in front of your eyes, and somehow that's just enough.
