I filled out the application for my summer missions project. they asked if you had struggled with an eating disorder in the past 6 months. I answered no, but not in good conscience. I'm not normal, but I don't think I qualify as disordered. I don't know, actually. however I answered the question I knew I'd feel like I was lying to a priest.
I went apartment hunting with some boys from my floor who got kicked out of housing. We went all over Boston and never found a good place. But at this point they've gotta be willing to settle for good enough, amazing just isn't gonna happen.
The one guy said he was really glad I came along. "we'd have been so depressed if you weren't here to point out all the good things." I'm glad I can be a light in someone's life at least.
awww, what the boys said is kinda cute :) and i know how you feel about lying, i had to do the same on a uni form :/ i guess it's part of i all though, xo.
ReplyDeleteSee! You are a positive person, you're incredible!
ReplyDeleteFilling out the form sounds tough, but unless it gets truly unbearable to deal with, or you feel comfortable enough to talk to the priest once you get there, outing yourself through paperwork probably isn't the right choice.
