Traveling Finally

Every shooting star,

Every bridge i go under, 

Every 11:11 on the clock,

i wish for one thing.

to be able to accomplish all that i want to.

It covers quite a broad  number of things.

that's because I'm extremely indecisive. & i want to go too many places to wish it all in .3 seconds.

well, wishes come true. This post explained my goal and desire to travel the world, and my first opportunity just unfolded into my hands, I applied for This program, so by June 2011 i will be in Thailand !! I'm so excited i almost cried!! i feel like a little kid on Christmas, well any kid on Christmas. Time wont go by fast enough. 

I finally get my own pictures of the most adorable little kids

 beautiful places

and the most incredible life changing experiences,

I get it, for me, i don't have to want it so desperately through others, and before my time in gorgeous Thailand, i get to do 80 hours of community service, most of which i will do with my "little".

 i think i am starting to realize that as i am struggling through my life, and trying to figure out who i am, while it seems others have it so figured out, i just need to serve, to stop thinking about my self and do things for other people and then i will find who I am..

Someday i

 Will go to Africa

 will have my own curly head kids

 will be wise and have served many

will do these things. someday.

have an exciting Friday, lots of adventures lie ahead.

Pictures found here

Your Life, Your Last day

Two books i just finished.

1.)  Before i fall

    - Sam dies,

 that day she was mean to her family,

 and a girl at school,

 after she dies she wakes up the next day,

relives that same day,

the same way though,

 she dies again and wakes up ... again,

 she does this for seven days, but by the third day she starts to realize whats important and changes the way that last day of her life happens, it makes me wonder,

 if today were my last day,

would i be happy with the way i lived it ?

2.)  Crank

             - Bree,

from a broken

 family goes to live

 with her dad and ends

up meeting a boy who does

meth, she tries it, gets hooked

and her life goes down hill from there,

it was written by her mother based on a true story,

 all about her struggles and journey on this drug,

she ends up pregnant in the end and the

sequel goes on to the next part of

her life, I'm stoked to read it,

 it was so real and raw,

  beautifully written

 all in poetry.

Today,

a good friend and neighbor took his own life, he had children and a loving wife, they    were always so happy, i don't understand.. i cant even imagine the call your father took his life, or imagine the heartbreak and grieving this family is going through, as i was telling my mom this today, she said you can imagine because you have been there, but i haven't, my dad fought for me and my family, he died a hero and yet i still get angry he left. i cant bear the anger and emotion i would be filled with if he intentionally left me.. my prayers go out to this family.

This

so strongly

ties into the book

"before i fall" is today

the day you would want to

 remember as your last, i know

today would definitely not be the one

 for me,    so as my dad taught I'm going to

 live each moment to the fullest of my ability,

don't wait to follow what your heart desires do it now..

Week [ends]

1st week [end] at college packing and unpacking

2nd week [end] at college cliff jumping !

3rd week [end] at college go camping and home.

a few things i have come to realize.

1.) I'm obviously a freshman because i still call life and school "college".

2.) My sister is the most beautiful, kindred spirit, she is brilliant and remarkable, i look up to her like she would not believe, and she has one of the most amazing spirits anyone could ever have she is so incredibly strong and talented. and i love her with all my heart Maddie is and will always be my best friend. 

3.) Don't ride a motorcycle without proper gear, i would have been dead if it wasn't for my helmet which i put up such a fight to wear. None the less i ended up running through, not past not into but THROUGH a tree & i have wonderful battle wounds to show for it.

4.) Camping isn't "camping" unless you have a "dirtstache" & "dirtunobrow" to show for it.

5.) The cemetery is now a place of solitude, not fear, there i had a long talk with my dad a good cry and a nap afterwards.

     The [end] of this week came swiftly but... i realized alot of things i didn't before, and i got to the point where i miss my family ALOT, but i also realized I'm growing up and i am learning new things everyday that are helping me in the process.

have a wonderful week...
