I never have, and I never will, understand how some people can wake up in the morning when facing something horrible, like cancer in themselves or a loved one, and feel like they've failed in not greeting the day as joyfully as usual. I can't ever greet a day with joy, and these people... these people who could walk through glass walls with the power of their faith and never be scratched... they amaze me, and they make me wanna be a better person.

Amazingly, half the time I've been at this school, they've been my roommates.
