as the world is slowly trying to push through the cold hard wintery ground and push into spring, I'm beginning to realize that every season is a great one. Whether its spring summer winter or fall its yet another day and season to love this life we've been blessed with. As the warm sun beats down on your face next time, think of just how beautiful and precious our lives really are. Learning about issues in countries all over the world and watching the Olympics makes me feel so incredibly small. Like, I am one person in one city, and there are millions of people 17 hours ahead of me. Its crazy. Sometimes you just need a good dose of reality and you just need to feel small. & not just "oh I'm one student out of 35,000" but the "woah. I'm nothing compared to our world as a whole" it makes my heart break. It makes my heart break to know that I will never be able to see every last inch of it. Every last inch of this beautiful, scarred, marvelous, and hideous world that we live in. With all of its flaws and all of its majesty I have come to learn that that is something I must learn to do to myself. Accept the fact that I'm imperfect and that I change my mind and that sometimes I just don't make any sense. The world can teach you a lot actually. Although people always talk about how shitty (excuse my language) it is, sometimes you have to learn from the bad stuff. Learn that no matter how many times you are pushed down you have to get up. That if you are sick and tired of starting over (like I am) quit giving up. Quit saying "I'll do it tomorrow" hell, cram it all in today and make the most of those short 24 hours you have today, ya know why? because you may not get them all tomorrow. Quit Quitting. (can I say that?) oh well, I'm going to. Stop trying to start over when you make a change. Make a change in your life or behavior and keep right on rolling. The more you "start over" the more you're gonna quit it again because it gives you another chance to "start over". No one starts over, life keeps beating on whether we want it to or not. Its not stopping. I've learned that sometimes you just have to say "screw it I'm going for it". and risk everything you have to make sure your life isn't wasted worrying about some unimportant little detail, like a grade on a test, what's for dinner, or getting your hair done just right. You've got to remember that everything you have been so graciously blessed with in this life, can't be brought with you to Heaven. at least that's what I've been told. So, spend all your money traveling the world, skip a day of school to sit on the grainy sand beaches and watch the sun come up, get caught up in the moment and be thankful for every last thing that you have.
