Space to breathe

On my college campus, I have had my moments of feeling confined. When I itch to get away, I head to the student union, where I inevitably see a person I know. I go to the library and feel like I had just been shoved into a box. Finally, I end up just walking around…

No control

Don't you just hate when something does work out the way you expect? And usually when I think about that, I think of a piece of my schedule not working - a friend cancels dinner, a family member or loved one won't be at a holiday celebration, etc. Lately, the lack of control I have…
