“We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we’re curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.” - Walt Disney I want to put it out there…I HATE MOVING.  I hate everything about it.  I hate packing, I hate change, I hate leaving things behind…I hate leaving being comfortable.  However, there are many times where things are not really an option.  So I am currently a month away from leaving my home of two years.  Now I will admit the first summer that I lived here I hated it.  I had no idea why I came here and how things were going to be.  However, things worked out pretty well and now I have become attached to my apartment and the life I created here. I started this evening in a pretty bad mood.  I was going through paperwork and trying to decide what was going to be absolutely necessary and what I could get rid of.  I came across many memories that I brought my close to tears.  How does life go by so quickly.  I can remember things all so vividly.  It is like I blinked and years have passed by.  As I continued on my memory filled journey (as I know there are many more to come throughout the next month) I realized what a relief it was to get rid of so many things I no longer need and plan for a new journey.  While I am still a bit worried because I am not sure what that journey is going to entail if I have a negative attitude I am pretty sure it is going to be pretty awful. In the last few weeks I can say not a lot of things have went the way that I have planned nor have they really went my way.  With that said I had a lot of moments where I needed to check myself and realize what really is the most important in life.  You cannot live if you don’t take care of yourself.  Beyond that the relationships I have been lucky enough to have formed should take priority.  If I remember those two things and spend my time on them rather than holding tight to everything else maybe some other things will come my way.  I can definitely hope for that but for now I am going to think positively.  I know that is going to be put to the test even more throughout the month but I know I am strong.  I have grown so much.  It is time to keep growing and learning for that matter.  I got this.

Right now I am pretty sure this is how I want to feel.

Okay I am moderately obsessed with this show right now so the timing on this was perfect.  However, it would be pretty awesome to meet them.

yep. it is official. i love friday night lights.

Two years ago, I was afraid of wanting anything. I figured wanting would lead to trying and trying would lead to failure. But now I find I can’t stop wanting. I want to fly somewhere on first class. I want to travel to Europe on a business trip. I want to get invited to the White House. I want to learn about the world. I want to surprise myself. I want to be important. I want to be the best person I can be. I want to define myself instead of having others define me. I want to win and have people be happy for me. I want to lose and get over it. I want to not be afraid of the unknown. I want to grow up and be generous and big-hearted, the way people have been with me. I want an interesting and surprising life. It’s not that I think I’m going to get all these things. I just want the possibility of getting them. College represents possibility. The possibility that things are going to change. I can’t wait.

Rainy days are much better when beautiful yellow flowers are around!

I am currently dreaming of living in the mountains and country side.  I think after being stressed out the idea of living that way sounds perfect.  It also gives me some comfort since I will never forget the summers where I was in the country as a kid.  I know I would probably get bored after a short while but it sounds like a great idea.  Reading tons of books, catching fireflies, drinking iced tea, spending time in the garden, laying in the hammock, and swimming in the lake all sound way too perfect right now.  I can see this type of life where I am right now in WV and it really makes me sad to think about leaving.

Regimes fall everyday. I tend not to weep over that, I’m Russian.
