One

     okay, so this one goes out to all of you high school kids trying to figure out where to college, and for all of you college kids trying to figure what you're going to do for the rest of your life. 

It amazes me each day we are told to plan for the future. I mean, has everyone out there not heard about the fact that tomorrow isn't promised? I have nothing against planning and organizing (that's what I do best), but you can't dictate your life around something that may or may not happen. You can't get stressed out and unhappy simply because you have to plan your future. Now I know right then I was preaching to the choir, because getting stressed out is bout the only thing I have done since starting college. However, I'm beginning to ask myself now, why? Why should I , or anyone for that matter, freak out about the future? I can't think of a single reason. Yeah its scary, yeah its frustrating, but here's the deal folks: it hasn't happened yet. Freak out when it does (if necessary). Its very difficult to enjoy "the best years of your life" when you are constantly worrying about the future. But hey, it isn't all our fault. In today's world we can't help but be preoccupied with the future. Its essential. Just make sure that while you're out there "mapping out your future" that you don't miss the big picture. There are millions of adventures to go on, people's lives to change, smiles to be shared, everything! and trust me when I say that you don't want to miss it. In my case, that is a huge part of planning my future. I never want to miss an adventure, a "life changing experience". Its my nature. Personally, I think that's why I get so freaked out. Because seriously think about it, how many "careers" let someone be free? Not very many. Everything will be okay though people. I have faith that God will lead me exactly to where I'm supposed to go. That way, I don't have to worry anymore. I'm just gonna go out there and show the world all that I am (fire princess and all). Its all I have. Promise me something guys, that you'll stay strong. That you'll never let go of that burning desire to chase down your dreams. That you will never give up even when it seems that everything is against you. Right now I'm doing my best to do all of those things. As weak you may get in the next 4 years, I promise you that if you trust in the right person, everything will be okay. Get out there and see the world, don't spend so much time worrying about your grades or schoolwork. You are 18 years old with you're whole life ahead of you. You will have plenty of time to work in THE FUTURE (hahaha). Dare yourself.

some people are so poor, all they have is money.
