I am in such a state of yearning; longing to connect with the world somehow, and change it for the better. Something has changed in me since the Switchfoot concert last night. I was at the front of the crowd, looking up at these people who have been all over the world, who have reached so many people, changed so many people, helped so many people, met so many people, performed to so many people. I realized in that moment just how broad their horizons must be, particularly Jon's. That also made me realize in that moment, just how much of the opposite my horizon is.
It pretty much brought me to tears - yes, in the middle of their concert, i was on the verge of becoming a blubbering mess.
I realized how much i want my life to reach people, just like Jon has done. I realized how much i wanted to be Jon.
And still do.
I want to be just like him - he has so much wisdom, and he has the world's ears listening intently to his every word. He impacts this Earth SO much. And i want nothing more than to do just the same.
I feel like i'm suffocating here, in this small town, in this small community with no connections, in me. I'm trapped inside my own skin and i feel like it's the only thing from keeping me going a million different places at once. I'm trapped in this cage inside of me and I just want out.
I don't know how i'm going to do it, but with God's will, and God's help, or really, basically with God doing it all and me doing hardly any, i am going to reach the world.
Now for the corny bit:

You went to the Switchfoot concert!! Sadly I couldn't go, but I'm sure it was incredible, and life changing like you said. That band is amazing. xox
ReplyDeleteI did, I did! It was so incredible. Jon actually crowd surfed, and fell on top of me! Not even kidding! But he found it hilarious haha. I can only hope I'll get the privilage of having such an impactful life as he does. :)
