thoughts on life in general

i posted this on my livejournal a week ago.

and since then i've been thinking about blogging more. also because i'm reading a book about a mother who is a blogger but whatever, inspiration comes in all sort of shapes and sizes.

i was going to use my livejournal but 1) that felt very high school/emo of me and 2) i remembered i made this blog for my travels! while i will not be traveling abroad anytime soon, life is just one big adventure. or at least i hope for it to be!

the next year should be an adventure for sure: 2 more clinicals...moving back home...moving back to Boston (/Brighton) again...graduation #2...THE BOARDS...FINDING A JOB(?!?) what is life. this is craziness.

so you know what? i'm gonna go for it. i'm gonna GO places. might as well share.
and if no one reads this then whatever, no harm no foul.

It's incredibly disappointing when our reality contradicts our ideals, but the challenge and beauty of growing older is realizing that when our ideals embrace what's really important in life, our ideals and reality can dwell harmoniously more often than not. Because ideally, I simply want to see good and do good and find good and, in doing so, I want to be happy and I want my family to be happy. And reality? Well, when adversity strikes in whatever mask it's wearing, it brings with it a greater passion and greater tools to do just that...to find good. To see good. To do good.

Quote from Bloom by Kelle Hampton. Not totally related to what I wrote above but...sorta. I just really liked it.

I've procrastinated too much. Time to pretend I can focus on a homework assignment.

Till next time :)
