hi, i'm amber

so since i have returned from being abroad, i feel like i have been introducing myself to everyone and their brother. geez. and frankly, sometimes it gets to be a little much. but i LOVE meeting new people so i can broaden my friendship circle.
anyways, like i mentioned above, it can get pretty tiring of constantly meeting new people and constantly pouring myself out and being available to meet new folk. but i read a blog post the other day and it really made me think. it said, "wherever you go in life, always pursue people, always initiate, always move toward others. don't ever wait to be pursued."

it would be so easy for me just to sit back and not pursue people, but i would get no where.

as i rebuild my life, i constantly need to be rebuilding my community.
this quote just encourages me to continue initiate community around me. to get to know more people. and to love people. just as much as i want to be loved and feel involved in community, there are others out there that need to feel love and community.

so i will continue to pursue:'hi, my name is amber. it's nice to meet you. we should go get coffee sometime!'

I needed this update. Thanks for nudging me off the couch and back to life.

We miss you. There just seems to be a darkness on this continent ever since you took your light away.
