I'm not really sure how I feel about this whole blogging thing. I'd like to say I'm a big diary writer, but I maybe write in my owl (my diary is this think leather one with a giant owl engraving on the front...a Christmas gift from a close friend during Senior year of high school) a few times a year. The entries that make the cut tend to be wildly dramatic. So since I love to write, maybe the fact that my thoughts are posted publicly on the internet will keep things in a better perspective. But nonetheless, the blogging still makes me a little uncomfortable because I'm not so sure that anyone will read this...but whatever at the very least this blog will be a fun little phase.
So tonight I carved pumpkins with my friend/floor-mate Alissa. About three seconds in I was reminded of my tendency to get very impatient. As soon as I start a creative arts and crafts project, I want it to be over. I think thats because back in the 4th grade when I took art lessons, my teacher yelled at me in front of the class for drawing my beagle "wrong." I was very confused as to how I was wrong...it was art, not math. And it was my beagle, not hers. Speaking of math, want to give a little shout out to my current Stats class, which will most definitely be the first and only math class I take in college. Truthfully though, its not really as bad as I thought it would be.
Last weekend I went home for mid-semester break. It was the first time that I felt like I didn't need a break. I loved being home and seeing family, but I would have been perfectly content to stay on campus and relax here. This year has just been so different from last year already. I'm definitely the happiest I've been in awhile and thats mostly thanks to a summer of reflection, Breathe Yoga Studio, and eliminating the things in my life that were keeping me down.
Anyway that little detour was necessary in explaining my blog title: PEACE LOVE AND HAPPINESS. I feel like these three words became my guiding themes this summer. So i thought it was appropriate to use them as the title. A little dramatic perhaps, but it works.
I decided to end my blog with a sign off lyrics instead of something lame like "Over and Out." So at the end of every blog I'll just give a lyric to the song that is currently playing on repeat throughout my day.
"I just saw a shooting star
We can wish upon it
But we wont share the wish we made
But I cant keep no secrets,
I wish that you would always stay."
