[day 23-37: life is amazing]

holy cow. i haven't been on here for a really long time.
i've been soooooo busy...
but it's been with really good things!
i got to go with my mom on theee best spring vacation
with my mom, and it was so much fun.
we got to relax with my amazing family,
we went beach hopping,
and went to torrey pines
[the state park and the golf course]

it was one of the most
relaxing,
gorgeous,
adventurous,
memorable
vacations of my entire life.

once i got back, i was kickstarted
into one of the busiest weeks of my life.
i caught a cold,
created two binders that felt like
they contained half of my life,
and by saturday,
i was completely exhausted.
to continue the insanity,
i went to the color festival.

[i know it's cliche to talk about it]
[but it was my first year.]
[don't judge]

it was basically a huge hippie jam-session
with thousands of bags of dyed cornstarch
and people throwing it at each other.
so awesome.
peace, love and color.

finally, i'm back to sunday, and i'm ready
to start it all over again!
i've got finals starting in three weeks,
and then my [summer] will begin.
whoooohooooooo!

but, until then, i've got a little thought.
has anyone ever realized how crazy our lives are?
through all the chaos, the stress,
the happiness, the laughter,
the tears, the love, the hurt,
the adventures, the sickness,
and everything else we experience,
we are all on this earth.

not only were we blessed enough
to get here....most of us are healthy,
and we have families that love us.

on top of that,
we are living, breathing, existing,
on top of a heap of [beautiful] rock
that is spinning 600 miles per hour,
spinning in a circle 60,000 miles around the sun.

on top of that, think of our bodies.
think about how they are wired...
we are the only creatures on earth that
can simultaneously think, talk, create, move, and breathe
at the same time.

we have the capacity to constantly be learning and growing,
becoming whatever we want.
we can choose to be positive and make the
best out of every situation we find ourselves in,
regardless of circumstance.
happiness is a choice.
and i choose to be happy.

for a while, i've been hiding.
and i have absolutely no reason to.
i am alive, doing great things,
and working on doing better things!

from here on out, i am going to be working
on unlocking my true [full] potential.
there are plenty of things i want to do,
and there is absolutely nothing holding me back right now. there never will be.

full potential is coming out...
right now....
be ready.
