I'm sitting in a cafe on campus right now. How did I get here? I walked over from my sociology class. I took the bus to the sociology class with my best friend and roommate Charity who suggested that class to me. Charity and I became friends because we went to The INN together and lived on the same floor last year. I lived on the same floor as Charity because I chose to live on the fourth floor two years in a row because I wasn't ready to move out on my own yet. I went to The INN with my roommate at the time, Laura. Laura and I became roommates after I requested to switch after the first week of freshman year.
This obviously doesn't end here. This thought of how every single little moment affects the paths that we are on was brought on by a prayer I heard at a worship night. Now I can't stop thinking about this idea.
People say that it is the little things that count and while this mentality usually annoys me. I can't agree with it more at this moment. This realization has really taught me to be thankful and thoughtful with every single little moment I live. The little things lead us up to the huge events. The beauty and complexity of this idea boggles my mind.
So I will let my mind boggle as I leave this cafe and go to meet up with my now boyfriend Andrew. I started talking to Andrew because I found out we were in the same major. I found out we were in the same major through another friend who I ran into on campus a month ago while I was waiting to be picked up after work to go to Trader Joe's...and on and on it goes.

Hey now, I vaguely remember writing about this :)
ReplyDeleteHey now, I think you remember THINKING about this.
ReplyDeleteUnder a post titled "Puzzle Pieces":
ReplyDelete"Through the entire history of the world, no matter what you choose to believe, if one thing hadn't happened, that would have altered the entire course of anything to follow. I guess what I am finally starting to understand but not completely fathom is the butterfly effect. I am starting to see such beauty in every single occurrence in everyday life. Even in terrible instances, it is completely amazing how one simple action based on one simple idea could cause such an explosion of other instances to follow. None of them would be the same if the original would have been a little different. Here is where my mind is blown."
