more and more i am discovering that i love to be taken care of. maybe not need to. but i just bask in it. i don't really know how to explain it. there are a million instances, though, where i have been taken care of. last week, after being discouraged about economics for some time, i thought--gee if i were in high school, all this complaining would get me somewhere. i flashbacked to ap calculus. mr. green would always grudgingly encourage me to work hard and be optimistic. take the test. you'll be fine. just as i'm reminiscing in the lab, my favorite econ ta pulls me aside and says 'hey, you need to leave. you've been here for way too long...' i completely ate it up. this ta is older and married and has a child. i so appreciated that someone cared.
whether it is rescuing me from the middle of the highway, giving me interview advice, rushing me to and from st. george, etc., i feel that i could not survive without what others are reaching out to hand me.
i wish i had something to offer.

I feel the exact same way and I'm the OLDEST. Maybe it has to do with the fact that I don't have someone to model my life after so I feel like such a naive baby. Plus no one in my family has the gospel in their lives except me so maybe it has to do with me feeling unsupported. We can take care of each other Ame, haha just teasin.
Don't you ever EVER say you do't have something to offer! Look at all you've written in your blog, the uplifting messages you have put out there, just as (whoever it was) said you should use blogs to do.. spread the "good news", the service motivation, the sweet feelings of family and appreciation. You do so much, every day, just by pointing to the beauty, reminding us to look, to touch, to reach out.. you are amazing, you offer SO Much to so many, you are so loving and so loved.
