♪♫I can show you the world.....♪♫

   So, today was average to good; not much happened besides StuCo elections not quite going the way I voted, but hey, I honestly don't know anyone very well at this point so it doesn't matter a whole lot to me :P  Tonight, I went to my school's play of Aladdin, Jr., which was awesome. :)
   I don't have any homework, and I can't sleep right now, so I suppose I might write something to post tomorrow or something..... 
   I would post some stuff right now, but I'm not sure if i should; it's not anything with names or things like that in it, but I'm afraid some people might feel like it was a bit pointed. And I'm not going to say it isn't; while it's not pointed at anyone in particular, it is a serious piece and I wrote it about some issues I see every day. I also used some examples from things I see/experience in real life, so while I don't actually use names, specific people might recognize specific portions of the piece.  But, on the other hand, I write what I feel, see, believe, and imagine.  I write to express myself. I also write because it gives me a voice that I often have trouble raising verbally. So, I'll leave it up to you guys; if anyone is interested in what I have to say, post and tell me so.  I'd really like to post things that I write here, but I don't want to do so at the risk of offending someone while enriching no one. So, I suppose, I'm asking for permission :P
   Either way, I'd like to know your opinion!

It's late....

   So I'm not going to post much. Today was ordinary, and tonight I went to JAM at church. It was FANTASTIC.  I've kind of got a lot on my mind right now and I'm just hoping that soon I'll be able to get a full night's sleep, which hasn't happened in weeks :P
   Bonem noctem! :)

Life isn’t worth living unless you’re willing to take some big chances and go for broke

   So I hear. Today was an average day: certainly not bad, but not one I'll remember in a week. Tonight, however, I will probably remember for a long time to come - not because it was particularly fantastic or terrible, but because it was ordinary.
   I've been dealing with a lot of issues lately and have been, really, for...well, most of my life. Tonight, I went out for coffee with Jill, a youth leader at my church. We spent about a couple hours or so just talking and, while we didn't technically "solve any problems," it might have been the first time that I ever really just sat down and had a really frank conversation with someone about my problems.  I got a little good advice and whole lot of assurance that some people do, in fact, care. And that's really about as good a start as one can ever have on a journey of self-rediscovery.
   I'm sure many of you are thinking, "yeah, you had a talk about your problems; big deal!"  And I can understand that.  But I've never had that, so it was really special.  "Ordinary" is actually quite extraordinary to me. That's why I'll remember it.
   So that's been my day in a nutshell.
   Bonem noctem!
