Update on Life

I don't want to stop doing this just because I got busy, which is how I end most things.. Plus there are some things that I want to write and that I would have liked to know/find interesting.
So I have a job now (yaaaay me). Almost everyone else that was hired (10 of us) lives far away as well so that's interesting.. recession and all. So I learned some things in these last two days of semi-training. First off cineplex is REALLY good with customer service! Basically if you complain about something they'll give you a free movie pass. All they care about is making the customer have an exceptional time and exceeding their expectations. I had no idea. Also, if the customer only talks about how good or bad the movie is then you (as a cast member/employee) have done a great job, because our job doesn't matter and customers will only (mainly) notice bad things that happen. Also, there are incentive programs for people to buy combos, which I never knew. For some reason they want to sell combos and so if you sell them you'll get more money. :)
And they have a deal with coke so that when you ask what pop the customer wants you don't say 'what drink do you want?' you ask 'would you like a coke?' Isn't that weird/interesting? And mostly people say yes or if they don't then they'll decide quicker than if you'd asked them what they'd like for some reason giving them one option makes them think faster.

Anyway, about me.. I'm learning people's names a LOT faster than I ever have before. I think I already know all the newbies that got hired with me plus three managers and the two cast trainers. Basically everyone I've personally met/talked to. I don't remember anyone's name who was just passing by and was introduced to us.
Also, I'm a skytrain pro :) but ever since my friends were talking to me about how awkward it is to glance up at someone on the skytrain that is happening to glance at you it's been SO awkward. So thanks for that, guys. I've never had that problem till now.

So yesterday I did my orientation/walk-through for an hour then they offered to let us go see a movie, but I had to go to a concert at Granville with some friends so I met them at the station and we went together. It was freezing cold, but besides that a really fun night. We saw these acrobats that like danced with fire and climbed these rope things and danced and I was thinking how great a story it would be to write about the dance that they did. I don't know how to explain it, but it was really cool. Like they would come together and then move away from each other and then grab onto one another's feet (whilst like 10 feet off the ground  btw).
Also at the concert.. it was just a small little group with an indie band and I went up into the crowd and danced a little :) well more like swayed, but I NEVER do that! There were some crazy dancers, one right in front of us, and I'm always afraid of dancing crazy.. even though I don't really dance at all. But anyway it was fun and just further emphasized how changed I've become. Even from just this school year alone.

So that's the update for now. Sorry it sucks. So much has been happening, but there's not enough time to write it all.

I'm afraid that I'm going to quit my job. I like it right now and I'm excited to start it and get settled and everything, but I quit everything I do and so I'm really afraid that, that is what's going to happen. Oh well, one step at a time.

Right now I'm 'doing' the e-training. It's just some small amount of info in a long presentation online and then a quiz at the end that you need to get 80% or better at to get this certificate so you can do the job.
Online on my account it says I'm working for Burger King though and that would SUCK because I really would like to NOT work at Burger King out of all the possible concession stands and it says that I am 100% that and nothing else. It must have been decided randomly, so I hope it's not definite. I'll ask next time I'm there, which will depend on when I'm finished the e-training. I'm officially 4/7th of the way done :P
I'm getting paid for 4.25 hours ($8/hour) but it's taken me longer (when it should be shorter) because I keep getting distracted. plus I'm totally wasted right now as you can probably tell by my poor writing and grammar and punctuation and what not. Anyway, I'll leave this post at that and go and focus on my scholarship/psych/e-training/maybe sleep? I'm not sure.

OH, last thing.. tomorrow I will hopefully be getting my new/old bed! (from storage at my grandparents-I just sold my loft bed, because I just didn't feel like climbing up to sleep on a bunk bed anymore-- and I've only had it for a year) but we sold it at the same price we bought it so it's all good. Anyway, that's not even what I wanted to say-- I'm going to be getting my bed by DRIVING :) yeahhhh. first time ever. I'll let you know how it goes. If I remember

peace and love
xoxo

Update on Goals 2

-I'm officially part of Collectively Canadian (as of like last week) and the first official meeting is TOMORROW. I'm really looking forward to it. I LOVE THE GROUP. Some people in particular, if you catch my drift ;) It's been a while since I've met people I really liked. 

-I'm currently TRYING to finish writing a scholarship essay.. I'll let you know how that turns out. WISH ME LUCK. My goal is to win it/them obviously.

-JOB = FOUND! At least for now. If I find a better one that'd be great, but right now I have training on Friday/Saturday and who knows how long it'll last. In 3 months I'll get a review on my performance and then we'll see. I can see working there for around 6 months then going to Canada World Youth if that works out and then who knows.. maybe going back to work there once I return. There are two good jobs (cashier/registration person at two places in New West) that pay REALLY WELL. (16 and 18 bucks an hour) and I would be AMAZING and hard working and just really good at those jobs, but unfortunately I'm sure I won't get it. Besides I have no experience. So.. I'll apply, but I'm really doubting that I'll get it. But then again I didn't think I'd get ANY job and here I am.. with a new job. 

-Meet new people is obviously a never-ending goal, but I've definitely done alright for myself with my CC group and interview where I talked to this guy for like an hour :)

-CISV I don't think will work out, but I'm still hoping to go to the National Camp in August! IT'S SO CLOSE and the flights are what cost the most.

I'm one happy cat

ScotiaBank Theatre--

I GOT THE JOB!
Now I'm just worried about how much I'm going to hate it soon enough.
I've heard really bad things about movie theaters
and it's minimum wage, but I'm trying to think of bad things so that I'm not too disappointed. It's a bad habit, but has helped me in some situations.

The theater is beautiful. The nicest I've ever seen. Plus there's lots of different jobs. I would love to one day be the one to play the movies. It'll probably take quite a few years though. I got all the paperwork today, so it's final. This is so exciting! 

Interesting Psychological Finds

-If a placebo pill costs more than it works better.

That totally makes sense

I have always believed that if I set my mind to something - I mean really believed it -- it would happen. So I think placebos would totally work for me. I'm a push-over? Or something. I don't know what the term would be, but I am easily persuaded
OH and something else. Like I am now for some reason afraid to share my thoughts. So instead I sit quietly. More on that to come.

My Lived Life

At my Collectively Canadian Kick-Off meeting we did this ice-breaker where you have a 'bingo' of facts about people and basically it's a sheet of paper that everyone gets that has random facts like 'has gone fishing in the winter' or 'speaks more than one language' and you need to put a name with each fact by going around the room talking to people. This was the first time I have ever enjoyed this activity. I think it's because of all my practice doing it for CISV. I swear my entire life has been leading up to these last few days, but that's another topic.
I realized while doing this activity that I have done a LOT in my life. I have seen a live bear up close (this one stuck out to me, because I had a conversation with this guy about it, wherein he was shocked that I had seen not one, but like five bears in the wild), I have hiked Grouse Mountain -more than once- (I can't believe so many people haven't done it ever! The fact sheet only required you to have done it once), I have met people from around the world, I have traveled to different provinces and different countries, and so much more. I can't remember exactly what was on that sheet, but it got me thinking that I really have done a lot. When I see an opportunity for ANYTHING I try to get it and that's what's led me to have a lot of experiences, but also my parents are encouraging and all that. Other things I've done in life =

-swam with dolphins
-seen cirque du soleil twice (two different ones)
-been to Disneyland twice and Disneyworld once
-traveled to places alone -as in flights-
-been carried in a mosh pit (big crowd at concerts.. it's intense -- Mariana's Trench) -- and the carrying was me over the border cause I was being squashed. ~ I actually had a better time once out of it, just walking around in the cool and not crowded air and looking at random paintings in these tents that were set up.
-have emergency first aid/CPR training
-been inches from some giraffes
-met people from all over the world
-been away from home and my parents for more than a month
-been in a hostel with a bunch of people from my CISV Seminar
-been around the world
-seen a Christmas parade WITH LIVE CAMELS in Barcelona
-been on several cruises
-been to Egypt, Italy, Panama Canal, Alaska, Cuba, Mexico, etc.
-been skiing and snowboarding and tubing
-changed my clothes on a bus full of people (CISV Seminar haha)
-led a meeting full of people (Seminar again)
-to be continued


What have you done that is unique or unusual or just normal and you're proud of it?

Lottery of Lives

"An event that happens to but one in 1 billion people every day occurs about six times a day, 2000 times a year." -incredible statistic found in my online Psychology 12 textbook


(but then again I often read that stats are irrelevant and can never really be trusted. So, I'm not sure what to think.)


“The really unusual day would be one where nothing unusual happens.” -some statistician 


Did you know bumblebees aren't supposed to fly? 

Miracle of Life, right?

{Why is it called the Miracle of Life anyway? Aren't miracles supposed to be things that are unlikely to happen?}




This title makes me think of the lottery that I saw on the news in America in poor towns where they put kids names in a lottery and the kids that win get to go to a better school.

How insane is that?

rich white kids everywhere drop out of school to do drugs and party instead.

I didn't even go through school all the way, because I got bored, but still. I should have and I felt guilty even before I 'dropped out' (I still finished, I just did the bare minimum instead of AP courses and a film thing I wanted to do) because I was thinking about those kids and others that don't get the chance to have the amazing education I got


And now I'm sad :(

My Escape from a Scam

Scams.. why do people have them? Who in their right mind would create something with the sole intention of tricking other people into giving them money or their possessions. Why would anyone want to do that? I don't understand humans.. I wish we were more like .. I don't know actually, because I just read today in my online Psychology textbook that other animals deceive their own kind as well. The example used was a chimpanzee who repeatedly pretended that another chimpanzee was fighting him so that his mother would chase this other chimpanzee away from the his food. How crazy is that? But anyway that's nothing like the scams that some people come up with nowadays. That and viruses, I've never understood. Like who would make a virus? What's the point of that? To mess up someone else's computer? I kind of feel sorry for those people, because what kind of life is that? Knowing that you ruined someone else's.

Regardless, my topic is my narrow escape from a scam of my own. This one is called Vector Marketing and was a job. A very good sounding job. I first saw the opportunity and thought 'oh sketchy' and so ignored it.. but I had already submitted my information to them, because I was on my desperate search for a job and had submitted my info several times before. I also thought that it was a job search site where you put in your info and they find jobs for you, but alas it was not. Anyway, it wouldn't give me information about what it was until I put in my info, so I did, and then it said 'call for an interview' but instead of me calling, they called. Twice. In two days. I sent the website to my mom to see if she thought it was a scam too, because it did sound good  and no one else had called to set up an interview. It was $16 an hour and wanted you to sell their knives, which didn't sound fun, but they said that even if you didn't sell them they would still give you money. So I sent the website to my mom and she said it looked bad, but call them back anyway, so I did. I set up an interview and they told me how good my resume was and how I was already better than other candidates. They said that when you come in you are either hired or not hired at the interview. It all sounded very promising. Then my parents came home and my mom decided to tell me that it was a bad idea and I shouldn't do it.. after she told me I should. So that kind of screwed with my mind. So I just didn't go and instead looked them up intensely online and found a wholeee bunch of sites and people explaining what a scam this company was. Basically they get students to get a job there and to get the job you need to buy their 'trial' knives so you can show them when you're working. You then have to give them a whole bunch of contacts, including your high school registry or whatever it's called. And then they call everyone on that list and get you to call everyone and then they get you to give them your friends numbers and THEY WILL CALL YOUR FRIENDS AND TELL THEM WHAT A GOOD TIME YOU'RE HAVING AT THIS JOB! To make matters even better (sarcasm) paychecks are about $3 as opposed to the $16 bucks an hour like promised.

So that was an interesting and short experience.

Me and My New Self

Group job interview today at Cineplex Scotiabank Theatre. I had a really good time. First off the theater itself is AMAZING! three floors of sweetness.. It was really casual and we were taken into a VIP lounge with incredibly amazing chairs! There were about 15 of us, but I'm not sure how many group interviews they've done before this and only about 10 will be hired. I sat at the same small table as this guy (there wasn't any other girl there yet and there were only three others in the interview) and he asked me when I applied for the job. I applied 4 days ago whereas he'd applied a month ago. We talked for a bit after that. Turns out he lives in the same area as me! I was surprisingly good at small talk. Then for the interview the managers seemed really nice. We made nametags and then were put into partners to share the other person's name, fave movie, and reason why they want to work there.. I talked a whole bunch (thanks to my amazing new small talking skillage ;D) to the guy I was paired with and then we were asked random questions like.. what stores do we shop at food and clothing wise, and if we'd ever been to their theatre before/what we thought of it (I hadn't), and where we'd seen great customer service.. I tried to answer as many as possible (meaning all the questions except for the 'have you been here before' one) or done, and stuff like that. Then we split into groups and wrote down 5 of the things that people need to give great customer service.. I wrote and took the ideas and was just a good leader and they watched us and then we presented our ideas -the guy from the table was in my group- and then they talked about the job and that was it.. They said it'd be 45 minutes to an hour when we walked in and I was surprised that it'd take so long, but then was shocked when it ended so quickly. Then me and random guy took the skytrain together and talked and laughed and it was awesome :) I really had a good time and I felt confident and like .. cool I guess. My first job was nothing like that already..

Plus I went to the gym RIGHT before going and had a really good workout class so that made this whole thing even better.

*ALSO I didn't mention some of the perks of the job..
-Free movie tickets for me and a guest
-You get to keep movie posters/cut-outs/whatever.. such as cardboard life-sized cut-outs of various movies.. there's a REALLY sweet one for Pirates of the Caribbean that is like a skull that's taller than I am.
-Plenty of staff bonding events.. including Cultus Lake, but more impressively MOVIE MARATHON SLEEPOVER! ~ that may be the main reason I now want to work there. :D

Description of Me or You

"When I let go of who I am,
I become what I might be."

- Lao Tzu

24 Hours

So, the last 24 hours have been intense.
Yesterday I did an Emergency First Aid/CPR course and so am now certified to save people when they are choking/having a heart-attack/are unconscious. But by 'saving' I really mean rushing towards them checking to see if they're breathing and then getting someone to call 9-1-1. Well actually the 9-1-1 thing first. Anyway, I learned something from that, but I can't remember what it was. I was all excited to have a blog so I could tell everyone, but now I forget. My instructor-man was really nice and I was surprised at how easily I was able to fit into the group and talk to people. I used to be shy and I guess now I'm not so much. I took the lead in a lot of things. Apparently First Aid courses have a lot of acting involved ;) I didn't know that was what I was signing up for, but just so you know, there will definitely be acting. Also, the dolls are gross, but at least we didn't have to actually 'kiss' them while we were 'saving' their armless, legless, and kinda freaky lives. Seriously, those dolls were scary.

Things that were awesome about the course:
-It ended an hour early
-The instructor was really funny
-I was a leader in a way [for example the first activity was just to get us warmed up.. just charades and in my group of three I was the one that did all the talking]
-I talked to quite a few people and even walked to the mall for lunch with a group of them and they were friends from before and I was in the middle and talking with them as if we'd all been friends. It was pretty cool, I'm not used to that. Maybe it's because I'm older and so now the programs I'm doing are for younger kids as well, but maybe I'm just more confident.
-I can hopefully now get more jobs, especially in the summer, especially in the camp genre.. but I might need a different type of First Aid training..

ANYWAY, so after that I went to Collectively Canadian.. an AMAZING program! (so far anyway). We went with all our families to a potluck orientation and then most of us slept over in the facility (this amazing YMCA). We just played games and talked and went swimming in the morning, but this group of people are so wonderful and everyone.. well almost everyone.. got along really well. I was so proud of myself today/yesterday/the day before. I just jumped right in to introductions and trying to talk to all these new people and I suggested a WHOLE bunch of activities that we played for the most part. It was really great and I can tell that I'm going to really enjoy this newfound confidence I have in myself. Again, I was one of the older kids.. if not the oldest. But I already have some people who I can DEFINITELY see being friends with. I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone better and it's only been ONE DAY!

Things that were awesome about Collectively Canadian:
-People listened to me
-I talked quite a bit
-So far I like almost everyone
-I already see myself being friends with people
-I led some activities and suggested even more!
-A lot of people's names are hard so mine's almost one of the easiest! :D
-One girl who came into the building right after my family did -- so first I talked to her mom a whole bunch and she was super nice and I got to talk about myself and my life and what I want to do -- but then at the end when we all said what we liked about the day and what was challenging this girl said that the challenging part was getting there, because she didn't know how this would work and what the people would be like, but once she met me I was super friendly and she knew it'd be awesome. I didn't even think I was being super friendly and I thought she seemed a little.. distant. :) So that's awesome.

~ also when we went swimming I went into two floaty things that I normally wouldn't have gone into.. One of which was during a contest so that my group had to push me in the floaty thing to the other end and it was awesome! Often I want to do those things, but let people who are 'smaller' than me do it, because I'm self-conscious about my size, but honestly if I don't care then others won't and even if they do, I won't, so it won't matter anyway.. and I just have to realize that. My low self-esteem regarding my size and my face have stopped me from doing a lot of things in the past that I should have. Including just like speaking up more and stuff, because I didn't want to bring attention to myself and my size. It's a ridiculous thought and I hope no one else feels that way, but I know others do. I just can't help but compare myself to others who are thinner and prettier.. And that's a silly thing to do.


Plus then when I got home I re-switched rooms with my older sister and set up a new desk in the smallest room in the house [which is my bedroom]. So, we'll see how my bedroom turns out- since I'm switching my loft bunk to a regular bed and there is REALLY not that much space in this room.. and the new desk is HUGE. But anyway, I did really well in these last three days.. so let's hope it continues for tomorrow/later today (it's after 12 so this whole post is kind of confusing) for one of my very few job interviews OF MY LIFE! (Cineplex -ScotiaBank Theatre- about an hour from my house). Wish me luck.

Update on Goals

-CISV IYM that I thought I could get turns out to no longer be available, meaning someone else got it. It's so frustrating to become hopefully and plan out things only to be crushed. This happened to me with the interchange, JC, summer camp, seminar and now this. Almost every possible program! I should stop getting my hopes up, but what are the ODDS?! I figured I would get at least one of them! I just don't get why the world doesn't want me to go.. all the camps would have been perfect for me! I'M NOT DOING ANYTHING AT HOME. Maybe I'll never know.

Things I Love

-I LOVE that when you don't use something it goes away. For example, muscles in your body.. When you don't use them, they become weaker, because you don't need them. When you are on your computer all day your eyes become weaker, because, again, you don't need them for anything else. When you don't drink water for a really long time as a part of a routine.. you don't feel thirsty as often. I LOVE that our body changes when we change. Even in bad ways. It shows how amazing we are and how powerful evolution is. I also love it when it does good things.. Like knowing where the light switch is in our bedroom even when it's pitch black and creating mental images of what you see so that when you blink you don't see total darkness. (Try it, it really works! When you blink you continue to see.. everything doesn't just go black. But you can't keep your eyes closed for a long time obviously, because then it won't work.)

- This:

and the fact that different types of animals can still get along together, like guinea pigs and rabbits, or even strange combinations like a tortoise and a hippo. Believe me, it's happened. I saw it online. (Not that, that necessary means it's true, but it was also on TV and in the newspaper.. although again.. doesn't mean it's true, BUT THIS TIME IT IS!)

We're animals too, so why can't we at least get along with each other? There is less different between a black person's features and a white person's features compared to two black people or two white people according to some source. I don't understand how that works, but basically we're a lot more similar than we think and why do we categorize ourselves by skin?

And why do we feel the need to kill everything.. all these animals that are slaughtered brutally, for what? To eat? We don't NEED to eat them. It's called evolution I talked about it in the first bullet point.. I've been vegetarian my entire life and there hasn't been a problem. I know some people are recommended against it due to health, but there are ways around that! I don't get how people can mistreat animals.. I don't understand how it is mentally possible to do. But anyway this is things I love so I'll stop talking about things that are frustrating.

-to be continued

Crazy Things

- I often don't enter contest, because I just think about how small my chances are of winning.

- There's a quote I once read about how one shouldn't feel bad about themself, because no one can do a better job of being them. It was then that I realized that sometimes I feel like someone else COULD do a better job of being me and that's why I'm shy and don't talk my mind or do courageous things often.

- I think I'm internally racist. I don't like telling people my name. It's frustrating. However, I love telling them my nationality. Specifically my European roots. I don't like my Indian half. 

 ...

Insignificant

Nothing Matters. Honestly, nothing. I just had a huge fight with my sister with my parents input included about who should get the bigger room in our house. (I was just about to call our house 'small' but honestly it's not!) My parents kept reciting how many people would be happy to live in the smaller room with their entire families and it's true.. there are so many places in the world where the people have nothing. And honestly the only reason I didn't want the small room is because I finally had some power that I thought I could use. Turns out I didn't. I only didn't want to give up the big room, because I thought I had the choice. There is a whole back story involved in this that I won't get into, so I'm making myself sound like a bad guy.. I just don't want to write everything down.

I've heard before that people in Africa in their crowded little huts coming home from walking miles and hardly eating a thing are some of the happiest people. Some Americans or Canadians, can't remember which, were telling me that when they went to Africa these people shared what little they had with these strangers simply because they were company. These 'strangers' had so much money and these people had very little and yet the poor fed the rich. And were happy to do it.

Why are stupid things so important to us?

Maybe I'm just speaking about me and my family, but for us anyway it's hard to find perspective when we have everything we could ask for.

*Correction. Almost everything we could ask for. That's the problem. We can always think of more things to ask for and it's a never-ending cycle. Besides the media knows it and exploits that fact.

I don't really have a conclusion, but basically once this whole room thing happened and I lost the fight and my power I wanted to rage about it and swear and tear something apart and I knew it was stupid, but that didn't change my feelings about it. However, I didn't write a single thing down when I was angry, because I know that once something's on the internet you can't take it back and that usually makes things worse.

Regardless of anything else.. It's important to take a step back from everything and think about how lucky we truly are. Every last one of us. Even if you do live in a hut, which there's totally nothing wrong with..

Also, just wanted to clear something up. I don't think that Africa is all poverty.. nor do I think everyone in Africa lives in huts. There are some damn sweet houses in Africa that I think would be AMAZING to live in.. such as some tree houses and what not, but I am talking about whatever percent of people do live in poverty there in mud huts and don't have enough money to feed themselves everyday.

Africa being poor as a whole is a common misconception that I assume everyone knows, but sometimes realize people don't always know.

Why Now?

I'm 17 and I've had probably eight blogs in the past where I posted only a few blog posts and then quit. So, why now? What makes this one special?

I usually don't like sharing things online. But then again, I'm not a big 'sharer' in person either. So, where should I share things?

"Why do you keep a diary?" -Michael Scott
"To keep secrets from my computer." -Dwight Schrute

~The Office

I also haven't kept one up, because I've had no audience. Who would be interested in hearing about me and my life and what I have to say?

What's changed?

Well now that doesn't matter anymore. I am trying to be more honest with myself and the world and that means sharing more online and in person. I also want readers and if I don't have anything up then that's not going to happen anyway, right?

Besides, this whole blog is about inspiration and doing things that may seem impossible, so this is my first task. Beating the impossible task of creating a blog that someone reads. Maybe even a stranger.

So, why now, you may ask? It's for you.

My Goals as of Today

You need to know more about me. I need to know more about me. So, here goes. I have life-time goals (more like wishes), short-term goals, and long-term goals. Pretty much any variation of goals you can think of. I once read on a Lulu Lemon bag that writing down your goals helps your brain focus on them. I don't write down my goals often enough. So, I'll start now.

My Goals -Feb 17, 2011:

-Participate in Collectively Canadian* this year (The second after I wrote that I got a call from the Collectively Canadian office telling me that I got in and saying how happy and excited they were to have me.. So, maybe this whole goal thing really does work :D)

-Earn Scholarships! (Which means finding and applying to them)

-Participate in Canada World Youth**

-Find a Job (I've been looking and don't know what else to do, but I'm nervous about finding one. It's so much commitment and I'm not good at that)

-Meet new people/Make new friends (I'm home alone all day and don't get out enough)

-Finish Grade 12!

-Do stuff with CISV***

-So much more! ~I'll keep you updated

*A program that revolves around inter-cultural and inter-generational bonding and talking about issues. Commitments: meeting every Thursday in an office in Vancouver, a weekend in May, and a week in August.

** 6 month program in Canada and then a third world country. Application pending.

***CISV is my favourite thing in the world. Every time I think it's not as good as it is, I change my mind and decide it's even better. I'm addicted to it. It's a non-profit international organization focused on global friendship and peace and there is so much good energy in the people you meet. Anyway, there are two possible camps for me to go to.. National Camp in Victoria and/or a International Youth Meeting in NORWAY in April, which would be PERFECT for me, because I'm not doing school! And it's 10 days and not all of them are that long and there isn't one this summer so it's the only one I can go to and because I'm so old I can't go to many more things. I might be able to be a junior leader for an interchange, but I don't think that'll work out, because I don't think the interchange is going to happen.

What do people look for in a blog?

I guess interesting topics, good writing ability, and something they can relate to. I hope I can make my blog correspond with that criteria. My blog is about me and my life and my goals and my inspirations. I'm writing this for you, whoever you are; it's for you. I hope to inspire you and help you do what YOU want, not what you think you should do, not what you think you're able to do; what you WANT to do. Abiding by law of course.

I have so many goals in life right now and so many directions to go. I don't know what to do or even if I can do it. I want to inspire myself and in the process hope to inspire others. If that happens, then yay me, and if it doesn't then I tried and that's better than not.

I find things almost everyday that I want to keep.. such as quotes, pictures, ideas, etc. but I have a million places to keep them, so I'm going to try to keep them here and we'll see how that goes.

So, welcome to my adventure.
