EFY

Right, now don't take this the wrong way, but today I made a realization that I'm quite happy about. Today I was thinking about mutual acquaintances/friends. Those are always interesting situations. I love playing the insta-friend game. As I was thinking about said relationships, I was thinking about all of the random ways that my life is intertwined with those around me. I know so many people through the friend of a friend of a stranger who I know through a distant high school acquaintance. Or maybe we just had a class together or something. Of all the ways that I know people, I was so happy to realize that I never knew anyone from EFY. Now, I could not tell you why this created such satisfaction inside of my heart. While I think that EFY is a great thing, it was never for me. For several reasons. 1. I always equated EFY with dances. That was no bueno. Ever. I hated stake dances more than most detestable things in life, and on principle swore them off at age 15. 2. I hated the concept of being escorted around everywhere. I can walk by myself, thank you very much. 3. I thought it was nonsensical that a big part of EFY was "hooking up" with some 14-year-old hunk for a week. Now don't get the impression that I am in fact anti-EFY. On the contrary. I think it's a wonderful thing where teenagers can come unto Christ, and gain a testimony of him. Awesome. I just could never take all the excess of nonsense. With that being said, I stand by the fact that I'm so happy that I don't have ties to anyone awkwardly though EFY. One more little accomplishment in the life of Emmilie. Thank you, and goodnight.
