Joining my Greek organization ( Phi Sigma Sigma) was one of my biggest serendipities. I knew my love for service was something I couldn’t escape but I never could have imagined how adopting it into my life as a habit, hobby & pass time activity would manifest itself into finding genuine, intelligent, caring people seeing beauty in me as I see in them. I found organizations helping causes I always felt no one cared about. I realized I didn’t need to be rich to make a change. I realized I was so fortunate to be in my position that by sacrificing my time & efforts all that I lost was time & effort to help those less fortunate. I never would have imagined to witness all the beauty around me. People may think we come to do what we do for superficial reasons & I’m sure there are some who stick around more for the partying than for the cause but there’s also future movers, changers, leaders & first steps into a revolution. Who knows if any great change comes from our actions later in time. Either way, I’m sure the intent itself is potent enough to send a ripple to the cosmos.

Sometimes you just need to think of everything you DO have. In the end it might make you jump for joy, or put a little spring in your step. April is always the hardest month for me with so many people I love passing on… The nightmares keep me awake for days and I can hardly function. But I’ve got such an amazing support system this year I feel like I might get through it without so much wear this year. <3
