So, I'm studying Cultural Anthropology as well as Arabic this semester. The interesting thing to me is that I am passionate about Peoples and Cultures and customs different than my own; yet I am consistently finding myself to be a spectator on the outside of every group I have association with.  This is the biggest trial or frustration of my life. I have huge desire and need to connect; and am just not allowed to. Thus, goes my life, in a room full of people I know at church yet as lonely as someone in the icey expanse of Antarctica. Go Figure.
