Here are somethings about me that make it hard for me to relate to others...
I live in a strange world where the only things that matter are things that actually matter. I don't concern myself or fret over small things that can easily be overcome with a little bit of problem-solving. Time can be so much better spent on things that actually matter. Unfortunately, some people (even myself at times) don't have good judgment on what matters and what does not.
I see and understand things so clearly and simply, that it confuses me that anyone could possibly think differently. That isn't to say that I always assume I'm right and everyone else is wrong...but just that the conclusions I reach are (in my view) the simplest and most logical progression from the given information. This, at times, makes discussion difficult.
And finally, I am so happy right now. Words cannot capture it in full. Life is good, God is good. God is so good. I think on how immensely blessed I am, and it just fills me up. I feel so amazing that I actually get confused when I hear about anyone not feeling awesome. "Wait...what? You're not happy? Why not? Explain this to me...I don't understand. It's a glorious day. Life is good. Everything is good, God is good, you are good, it's all good. I am good, why aren't you?"
This obviously makes it hard to relate to depressed people.
Also, I can't be bothered to write a post on the retreat...I spent most all of my freetime during the retreat writing, hahaha. I am more than willing to share select passages, so hit me up if you're interested.
