joie de vivre.

So far, 2010 is off to a great start :) I just feel like I'm at a great point in my life, where I have the life, liberty and love to do what I please. It's a feeling that's kind of unstoppable. I know that, at one point, it will all come down on me & I will feel hardships, but it's moments like these where I know that I have hope for something better!

I've been thinking about the things that I'm passionate about. I've always thought that I've never had something for myself & that I just follow everyone, having nothing to call my own. But I really do. It's taken time to realize it, but I have TONS to live for & be passionate about.

Lately, it's been about the people I'm surrounded by. I spent two glorious weeks surrounded by family. Did I regress to my usual toxic demeanor? NO. Did I seek for human contact outside of them? Barely. Obviously, I'm not perfect... but just having the idea that I will be with them forever allows me a new perspective & helps me appreciate them even more. I loved laying around & just being able to have them next to me & know that they love me. I hope they know that I love them. They're my biggest joy.

The other people that surround me are my friends. If there's one thing about me that I know that I'm good at, it's being a friend. & if by some reason, I haven't been a good friend, I hope that I'm forgiven for my shortcomings. I love being there for people, helping them feel better & listening to them, because I know that they would do the same for me. I love being surrounded by great people & I only surround myself with those that will lift me up.

Another thing that just has me high on life is school. Weird, huh? I've finally started my communication classes! Already done with the first week & I'm overwhelmed with so much work but I'm actually getting it done! In my advertising research methods class, Dr. Callister was just rattling off about SPSS & there I am freaking out about levels of measure & variables... Needless to say, I only got half of what he was saying. But I'll get through it :) just because I LOVE IT! Seriously. I've never been so excited about my education. Then again, I'm also doing a Spanish minor & my love for my native language only increases. Nada como expresarse con la fluidez de unas pocas palabras. La escritura en español es algo que es irremplazable, no hay otra igual.

Needless to say, I love life right now. I'm very excited about my possibilities.

I have many more passions in life. But they're all pretty silly... I'll have to discuss them at a later time, since I have my life to go back to.
