Egey's "New" New


This past weekend I was lucky enough to get invited on The Community Church's ski trip to Seven Springs. Upon first glance I was skeptical to see if I would fit in with the other people and make new friends. As the weekend progressed I really began to grow friendships with these new people through snowboarding, food, dorm life, and Christ. I have to admit this has been one of the best weekends of my life.

Sometimes you just gotta get away... Experience something new and totally different to really self-analyze. I've been spending a little time lately trying to figure out what ingredients really make Egey what Egey is, and how can I alter my recipe to make a better more wholesome Egey. What I realized what I was missing was some real friendship and companionship. This is no knock on all my buddies from Ashburn and in school, but there's nothing like being put in a situation where you are forced to meet new people and learn about them. I realized that the new friends I made are very unique and different, yet we all shared the same daily struggles. I realized that I'm not so odd or different after all, that I'm totally not out of my mind for making the choices that I make and being the person that I am.

I realized that there are things I will never understand. And I'm okay with it, I'm okay with walking a different path, because of the way it makes me feel. I'm starting to get off topic but overall this weekend was great and I love the new people I met. No better feeling than meeting new family and wondering where they've been all your life. Much love to my new FE brothers and sisters.

Keep The Peace
