Ok. So am I excited about graduation, or am I afraid to leave a very comfortable atmosphere? One in which I have tons of friends who accept me for who I am and respect my decision to follow Christ whether they have made that same decision or not. An environment where I never have too much "stuff" to worry about, even when I make life out to be stressful and difficult. An atmosphere in which I have amazing people who disciple me and help me to grow.

I like how our emotions follow exactly what we are thinking in our minds. It is really stupid. Here I am thinking about all of the things that I will be leaving, and not thinking about all of the amazing things that God has for me next year. Your emotions are responders....they only RESPOND to what is going on inside of your head. If error or completely false thinking is going on, your emotions react to that false thinking as truth, when in all reality it isn't.

I doubt any of this made any sense...but it's clear as anything to me.

Just the fact that you have grasped that emotions are responders puts you light years ahead of 80% of the world's population.
