“I am driving up 85 in the kind of morning that lasts all afternoon…”-John Mayer

Who are we? Does who we are determine what we do? Or does what we do determine who we are?

I’ve been in thinking mode. Last week I couldn’t stop dreaming. I was casting a line out to the sky hoping I could reel in the moon. A few weeks ago I was real down…feeling like the more I kick, the farther out to sea I’d drift. But no. Not now. Now, I am in thinking mode. Pondering my life away…why am I where I am? Who exactly am I? What can I do to make a dent in the world around me…

Yesterday i was with my mom waiting for her to finish talking with some guy she bought that store from, and I took a walk to the lake and just sat down and thought. Sometimes it’s hard to find ourselves. We live these fast paced lives, where everything revolves around clocks, due dates, assignments, and deadlines. What happened to being alive? What happened to doing what we WANTED and not what we feel like people EXPECT from us. You live life once. You have one shot to make the most of everyday and you have one shot to give your all into impacting the lives around you and the ground you walk on. You just have to have the heart and courage to do so. It takes much more than a beating heart to make your legs move. I think a very important person to me said it best…

“It’s safe to fall if you just trust the ground that you stand on.”

Who cares if we make mistakes? Who cares if we look dumb while trying? Who is anybody to judge? You can’t fly without jumping. You can’t live without dreaming. And you can’t become who you are, without leting go of everything you aren’t and weren’t meant to be.

Its called destiny. It’s called integrity. It’s called YOU. It comes in the form of every boy and girl, it’s just up to each and everyone of us to let it out. Scream, live, and believe at the top of your lungs. Mediocrity is NOT okay. We can be more than that.

I had an extremely long morning. I get bummed out sometimes. I always want to do and be more. I ask myself ten times a day what I’ve done wrong. I guess sometimes not being a success story can make you feel like a flat out failure. Mayer said it well… When you go as fast as people like I do, things send to drag on and everything blends together and you start to lose your grasp of reality and what’s really going on around you. This is a hard life…but this is a beautiful one, and everytime I get down I think about that.
