A personal reflection on my journey in the pursuit of meaning

a good second day

Friday 13th December ’24

Today was a good day. I was busy the whole day at the wedding, and nothing else was on my mind. I had a fun time dancing, and the food was delicious. Oh, and a kid priest came to the wedding at the end, which was pretty—I don’t know how to say this—weird, I guess. He’s called Aryan Bhagat, and he is apparently a priest at the age of nine! He gave a pretty good, insightful sermon, but I couldn’t get over the fact that he was a kid. I definitely thought something fishy was going on, with maybe his parents telling him to stay these things and that he was forced into this life, but he seemed quite a pleasant kid. I did sit with him when he was eating, and he was acting the same as the same lively kid that I saw at the sermon, saying jokes that a child at his age should not be able to come up with and make a whole room laugh. I will give it to you, though he was quite a smart kid, but I still don’t know what goes on behind the scenes for him to get like this.

I think that today is a strong start for this journey, and am glad that I have not left this. I feel more motivated then ever to continue doing this. I am going to go into more story times in the future and will not make the journal entries this short.

Anyways, I will see you guys next time.
