that I feel God has made me have throughout my life to help understand and glorify Him for the rest of my life. These characteristics are great, but are also a sense of weakness in that sometimes they can work against me.
I very seldom feel nostalgic or sentimental. The last thing I felt really nostalgic about was parting with my accounting group. And even though I do miss the times I had with that group of people, right now I'm not really nostalgic about it. The number of things I can feel sentimental about are my cameras, my toys (stuffed animals...), and the piano in my room. Maybe put in this house I grew up in, too.
I'm not sure how to call this other attribute, but it's essentially that I am quick to feel indifferent. Harsh example? Sandy Hook shooting. Horrible event, crazy murderer. Prayers. Keep praying - but we have to move on because if you let this event drastically change your life and you can't ever live the same again, then evil has won. Murder is definitely not good, but I don't exactly cry over deaths. Death isn't sad for me, especially if I know you're also a follower of Christ. In fact, if you're a follower of Christ, I'm more jealous of you than sad for you (but overall, I'm happy for you) once you have to pass away from this Earth. However, sometimes this indifference will lead to a lack of compassion and finding a way to control that is something I'm still working on.
Unlike most single girls at my age, I actually don't really care about whether I get a boyfriend or get married in the future. If I do start to care, it's probably because of societal pressure and definitely not from my heart or soul. I personally think this is good, and so does Paul (?) in the Bible that I naturally think about more important things (not that other girls don't), and these important things occupy my mind a lot more often.
