Haha ah yes, the meat market corridors. This year I couldn't be bothered looking at any of the fellas... They have completely different views and goals in life than I do now. The last thing I want is to wind up as an elder's wife. *puke*

This year it has really hit me how superficial many in the borg are. The young kids aren't really there for the program. They are there because that is what they have grown up doing. They don't really think about what is being said. They catch the few "important" things that everyone else catches, and say "Oh, the program was so good!", but how heartfelt are they? I'm a pretty black and white person. So to me, I could never understand those who would go to bars, get hammered, celebrate bdays (by going out and getting smashed), and yet at the very same time call themselves witnesses. And I love when they say "they totally believe it's the truth". Then why doesn't your life reflect that?

I suppose it was nice to see some of my friends. But to be honest, there are only maybe a handful of people in the borg that I actually maintain real relationships with. There are a lot of people that I love in it, but no one has time to genuinely keep up with hundreds of people. I have a tough time accepting this as I am a perfectionist, so I want to be able to do everything, but I'm trying to make peace with that.

Thanks to this board, my mental state is doing alright
