Self-worth. On the sur­face, I think most peo­ple just con­sider that how you feel about your­self. Although I obvi­ously don’t have all the answers, I think through talk­ing with a cou­ple peo­ple lately about the topic I have some level of under­stand­ing about it… finally. The bot­tom line is where you get your self-worth from; whether that’s Christ, some­body in your life, some­thing you do, or per­haps noth­ing at all. For me, I have the ten­dency to try to get my self-worth from oth­ers which screws me up all the time. I guess I’ve always assumed that if you care what peo­ple think, you tend to get your said “self-worth” from oth­ers; how­ever I’ve never really cared what peo­ple think about me. Not to say I’m not effected what­so­ever by people’s opin­ions about me, but for the most part I really just don’t. Think­ing about self-worth got me think­ing, though, about some­thing else that some­what relates to the topic: passion.

Pas­sion is such a weird aspect of life; it brings to mind so many things, doesn’t it? Per­haps the first thing I think of when I hear the word “pas­sion” is music. Didn’t see that one com­ing, did ya haha? Seri­ously though, there’s really not many other things that are as pas­sion­ate as music can be. Of course, pas­sion can also make you think about the sin­cere inti­macy in roman­tic rela­tion­ships, specif­i­cally within a marriage.

I’m not sure that all that rant­ing makes much sense, so hope­fully it makes a bit of sense to some­body. I think that lit­tle rant was a result of me buy­ing the Snow Patrol record, and yes, by the way it is amaz­ing. While I’m post­ing, I’d like to express my sin­cere thanks to those of you that started read­ing this blog recently due to my… cir­cum­stance; and con­tinue to encour­age me through it all. I appre­ci­ate it more than you know.
