We'll make it out one day. I promise.

I just hope we make it out alive. One day we will live in a world where everyone isn't so obsessed with how people perceive them. One day we'll live in a world where you aren't constantly ridiculed for being different. Society will open up and one day realize that it's boring to be what everyone expects. I'm not saying society has conformed me, but one day it won't conform my children, or their children, or their children. I myself am made entirely of flaws, stitched together with good intentions.
One day it will be different.
At least I hope...

This world is magical, I just haven't been able to see it all for myself yet.

(I will live here one day)

Traveling is my passion. It's an expensive hobby, but I can't help but fall in love with seeing the different ways of life. My favorite places I've been so far are Greece, Italy, Tanzania, Burma, and British Virgin Islands.

I know I'll be able to travel the entire world one day, I'm just not sure when...

Places I still need to get to: Australia, New Zealand, India, Brasil, Portugal, China, Japan, Uganda, Ethiopia, South Africa, Figi, Jamaica, Ireland, Scottland, Spain, and anywhere else possible.

i like things that make me think

keep calm and carry on

I know it's absolutely ridiculous, but sometimes I feel like I'm going through some sort of mid-life crisis. I freak out and feel like everything is going by too fast, like I'm wishing my life away. It's hard to explain, but one weekend will happen, then it's Monday again. I feel like I'm just moving robotically to get to Friday, but meanwhile I've tuned out of a week of my life. It's a vicious cycle that won't end until summer. Then summer comes, and I've been waiting so long for this, but an entire school year has gone by. I remember being in middle school and thinking everything would finally be better when I got to high school. Now I'm in high school, and I feel like I'll finally be content when I graduate. What happens after that though? Will I always be waiting for something bigger and better? I look back, and the last two and half years of my life are a blur. I hope I can learn to live in the moment, and soak everything in. 'Cause if I don't, I know one day I'll regret it. If only time could pause, so I can catch my breath.

Why are we trying so hard to be what we're not. Dare to be different. It's so difficult to stand out in a world where everyone is trying to be different. Originality is dying quickly. Let's keep it alive. It's been said before, but why try to fit in when you were born to stand out?

I know things change

I know very few things about life in general. I know that when you think things can't get any worse, they do; but I also know when you think things can't get any better, they do. I know things change - sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse - but it's just change. I miss the old people. The people we use to be when our biggest concern was when recess would start. I long for the people that have changed, but I suppose that's all a part of growing up. I know people are bound to transform, but I hope I don't lose myself in that process. I'm the one missing the old people, but I never thought about maybe someone is missing the old me.


I'm obsessed with change [but only in the small ways]. If I could paint my nails a new color every day I would. If I could transform my room everyday I would. I'm coming to terms with the big changes in life though. If things weren't constantly up and down and good and bad, how would we grow? How would we learn? I feel like I'm realizing so many things recently, I wonder if it will always be like this.
