Hello Friends,
I’m sitting here at work, and the events that have recently unfolded are on repeat in my mind. I’m disappointed in the way our administration has chosen to respond, but I also understand that they were under a lot of pressure. I guess I’m more upset at how the Chancellor chose to speak to me Monday morning in his office, but I’m trying to keep those words from consuming me. Respond with love, right?
To tell you the truth, I’m not sure how I feel about everything. I knew coming into this that it would take a lot of endurance. I also remember saying that “I’m waiting for an anvil to fall.” At least now we know, in some sense, how enthusiastic TCU is to support us. It has prompted me to make a new video called “What are you going to say?” (Its still in the works.) I guess I just feel that, if the Chancellor is going to tell me that allies need to “come out” as supporters, I shouldn’t feel guilty for expecting him to as well. But don’t get me wrong, I haven’t given up on this yet.
And as I was sitting here contemplating our strengths and weaknesses, I continued to complete my duties here at the desk. A student came up, and I recognized him as the student that always evokes a “He’s SO pretty!” in my mind whenever I see him. He introduced himself to me with a handshake. He then said, “I just had to come introduce myself. I think what you’re doing on campus is really inspirational, and I support everything you’re doing. I think its really amazing.”
And with just that, I found my glimpse of hope. Let’s continue on this journey, okay? There are people out there who believe in it.
Never lose your passion. Always respond with love,
Skye
