NaKyoung talked the Hyewon story out of me today ㅠㅠ I don't particularly like re-telling that, but she saw the hand-holding pic on my phone --I had forgotten to delete it. She deleted them for me. The conversation we had makes me think that she totally knows I used to like her. I still would, but I think that she doesn't like me. We got to talking about a long distance relationship (not with each other, just in general). From what she said, she seemed up for a relationship, just not a long-distance one. (story of my life). So that's that.

I realized that I hang out with way more girls than guys. I eat two meals a day, and have meetings scheduled for 10/14 of those meals this week alone (probably 9/14 on average) -- each time with a different girl. Ok, that said, I usually only talk on here about girls who I am either especially close to or "like". However, the way things have been lately, I've kinda wanted to talk about stuff happening with other girls too, but I've been self conscious because I know some people I know have been reading this and I don't want to seem like any more flaky or girl-crazy than I already am. Therefore, just to clear my conscience, I'm writing now: if I blog about a girl on here, even if I say I had a great time and really like being around her, don't assume I have a crush on her.

Ok, now that that's covered, a perfect example: Minjin. I hung out with her for only the second or third time today, and she's incredible. The only thing she wanted to talk about was God, (a characteristic natural to her in the last few meetings, but today in particular because we hung out longer). She has some really great stories about miracles in her life, and seems to know a decent amount about the Bible in general. It was like talking to a pastor, but much more interesting. I hope I can hang out with her more. I felt uplifted for the rest of the afternoon after that. Maybe because I haven't had a good, uplifting conversation about God with a like-minded believer in a long time. Everyone has something to prove. Most of the time, I prefer to just relax in the commonly acknowledged truths: God is good, God is great, and we thank Him for our food... amen.

jk, but for real. It's the simple things that God gave us, which are beautiful enough to be taken as they are, and, when over-thought, can be complex enough to satisfy even the staunchest confusion-hound. ... like... a tree. especially a bunch of trees... in autumn... like what I'm exposed to here frequently enough to help make me forget about missing America as much.
