A Page from My Journal-

Annecy, France

<< So I haven't written in awhile, but this past week was pretty awesome and I hope that I can continue to have weeks such as this. The only thing is that I hope that I find some type of theatre or someone I can assist because right now I'm losing my mind. I have to keep myself occupied and unfortunately a lot of my preoccupation is with homework. But I'm trying to keep up with other things and lately I've been thinking about my future. Ugh...My poor, poor future. I want to do so much and its necessary that I do a lot because where I want to be, along with my occupation of choice, I really have to take risks and hope, pray, that everything works out. But I want my art to be out there as well.

Annecy, France

I'm really not certain, but I think I'm getting this European thing. It's really weird. Don't get me wrong, I'm still not perfect at the language, nor have I accomplished anything dramatic or had a giant epiphany that has changed my whole life for the better, but I think I have become a little bit more comfortable with life here. While things are still hard and there are challenges I have yet to face it's amazing how comfortable I felt in one moment. In that moment everything was like, "okay, I get it", everything was okay. "Look at your life right now and realize how blessed you are"! So taking this back to my future, I think that if I want to keep living this type of lifestyle and having these types of experiences, all the more reason to work harder, all the more reason to endure and pick yourself up when you're down. And all the more reason to try. I saw a quote today on PINTEREST today that was supposedly said by Steve Jobs, "There is no reason not to follow your heart". And I think I agree. Give me one GOOD reason why I shouldn't. >>

Sincerely,
