Traveling Pants, Brain War, and Tan men

I am realizing I feel emotions so deeply that when something is in my head, I cannot function. I wear my emotions on my face a lot of the time. And it is easily noticeable. I really have been struggling with this lately. I have a hard time understanding why people do the things they do. If I think something is wrong, inappropriate, or just strange, my mind starts going crazy trying to figure out the equation to the action. Until I figure it out, I am reclusive, and cannot focus on all of the other qualities I do understand. AHA! help!

I know a lot of it is surrendering my complete and utter stubbornness over to God, and realizing that people are going to make their own decisions, that I am not going to understand, and I just have to suck it up and love on them. BUT then that is when I get into this confusing spot in my head again. How do I show love and care, while still standing my ground on not agreeing with an action. How do I stand my ground, and not wear it on my face the whole freakin time. I don't want people to feel inferior to me, or judged.

Anywho. I watched Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2. That should be my confession of the year. And first off, can I say that it was much more... open... than the first one (which should be my second confession of the year, yes, I have seen the first one too). Don't 8 year olds watch that movie? To my original thought though: I love how different each friend was. It fully reminds me of my close girl friends and how we all differ so much in personality and style. Yet in the end we all (sorta) understand each other. We will always be there for each other in time of need. Even if that means traveling to Greece and staring down tan muscular men.... such a sacrifice.

If anyone is reading this, send me some prayers?
