Thankful (for my classmates)

Miels and Jules:
Oh my lord you two, words can not describe how thankful for you I am this Thanksgivingukah. But here I go! For starters, I am thankful for the laughs we share everyday from lunch through chem. Even though it may make some people think we are completely crazy, you two can always make me laugh and brighten up my day. We have so many inside jokes, and I love how we can make the simplest things into punch lines and laughs. I am so thankful for your guys' friendships. You are two of the sweetest, craziest girls I know. You never let me take myself too seriously and help me keep my (relative) sanity. We always have fun when we hang out no matter what we do, and I truly cherish you two for that. I am thankful that you two understand me, and put with my craziness even after you know all of my weirdness. I love you two so much and am thankful for the memories and laughs to come. XOXO 

I celebrate myself

It has been said that there there are three ways to live life: you can go with the wind, against the wind, or watch the wind blow. I run in the wind. Life isnt so simple, there are times to carve your own path and be a trailblazer, and there are times where its nice and fine to go with the crowd. There is both power in numbers and also in being an individual. But the truly powerful and enlightened are the living. There’s a difference between being alive and truly living. Of course there are times to be serious and mature and really weigh out the consequences of every thing you do. But what is life if it’s not enjoyed? What I’ve learned, and continue to learn, is not take myself too seriously. I try not to sweat the small stuff and remember that everything happens for a reason. Everything will fall into place. So just live. Be a little crazy, try something new, find a passion and pursue it. Passion and love, and doing what you are passionate about and love, is what gives life color. Be colorful. Celebrate yourself. Do what makes you live. Run in the wind. 

That's my philosophy. That's me.
