I had a real 'student' afternoon today, with my good friend Sarah. We went out for a coffee at Starbucks, at 4, and we talked about lots of things, I lost track of time totally, looked at my phone to what I thought was about 20 minutes later...it was 6.30! I had missed tea! I was just so shocked that I just had no clue of the time...it was so cool chatting with her. Just working out a lot of things in my head.
Sarah thinks so differently to me... she is in constant deep thought, and this can really make her tired, and she doesnt get much sleep at times because it keeps her awake. I thought back to when I was smaller, and I remembered that I used to do the same thing. I used to be awake til the early hours of the mornings, just thinking; chaining things together. Then I realised that it made me stressed and upset to think so much, and it made me tired too, so I trained myself not to think as much, cos it meant that I could get sleep,, and be less stressed. I realise that I have just gone to the other extreme, and am seemingly so 'unthinking' that I seem to be apathetic towards people's problems. I trivialise things, and seem to know what my own opinion is on different subjects, but really I don't think as much as I should.
I am going to train myself to think more. It might take a while, but hopefuly I will be able to consider more things.
I think its helpful to think about things. I think God wants us to be thought-filled. Maybe this is something I'm being taught.
