As a child of divorced parents (who split up during spring break of my freshman year in college) I can totally relate. Now, 11 years later, I was still concerned with not placing my parents too close to each other at my wedding! I don't know how much of a comfort it will be for you now, but my parents DID make an extra effort to be not only tolerant but kind to each other both at my wedding and throughout my engagement. It CAN get better. In the meanwhile, is there anything that you can take action with regarding your parents? How can you incorporate that want of peace and assurance into your relationship with your parents? I know that it seems impossible, but there might be just a sliver of something that can be done to get things towards that path. If you feel like there's nothing that can be done regarding your parents behavior, is there anything that you can do for yourself to be more at peace with this? Something that is in your control to do? Regardless of all the sad talk, CONGRATS on your college graduation! Hope you had a GREAT celebration!!!!

I graduated college on Friday..and had to pick which parent could watch..because they can't be in the same room. It wasn't fair. Why can't people get along? Is the same thing within us that makes us love..makes us hate too? I want peace..and to know that everything will be OK. I know it will be, but having assurance in something is much nicer.

It wants to release struggle and embrace passion. I know that sounds a bit hazy and unspecific, but it makes sense in the context I have it in my head. As someone who has lived in a crazy urban world for 12 years, always going-going-going and doing-doing-doing I find my heart looking for peace, and calm, and going-going-going that only leads to love-love-love and passion-passion-passion. It wants to get out of the rat race and find out how to give every day meaning, inspiration, creativity, and (here's that word again) passion. What does my heart want?
