Friday, Sept. 09, 2005 - 4:17 p.m. REFUGE This may have been a record period of time since I have avoided updating my diary. The main reason I have not updated it is that my life has been quite uninteresting, or at the very least, I have not found it interesting enough to write about. However, the lack of interest in my life is not necessarily a bad thing. Overall, I am quite content with how things are. Sure, I have my bouts at work, but one has to take the good with the bad. No, I do not have a girlfriend, nor am I actively dating. But so what? I do not need someone else to cling to in order to be happy, especially when I seem to be surrounded by a bunch of miserable people–and I am not talking about the hurricane victims. Oh yeah, the town I grew up in has been wiped out by a hurricane, and I have seven relatives living in my house right now. They are among thousands temporarily relocated to this city. When I see all these people displaced here in Baton Rouge, I can only look at them and realize how thankful I should be. In the end, the stability of my life has been, and will be, the refuge of others. |
