the locomotive, travelin' heart

So today I decided to listen to Pandora as I did some chores. Nothing unusual. And then the song "wherever you will go" played and it took me on a teeny time travel adventure. It took me way back to my early high school years. I had a boyfriend that "dedicated" that song to me, and I loved that song because of that. I mean, I would have still loved it because it is so beautiful to listen to, and the lyrics are composed in such an eloquent manner--which I LOVE- but the fact that it was dedicated to me made it that much more meaningful. That relationship ended in high school and several years passed by, and I have had other boyfriends since then, but when I heard the song, it just triggered something in my mind/heart/soul/essence. I don't see him in a romantic way anymore, so it wasn't a type of "I wish we were still together", it was more like the song fueled this little locomotive of a heart and took it down memory stream. It was rather pleasant to be honest. I love how we have emotions that can get triggered so easily. Whether it be food, songs, scents, books, colors, animals, places, places, places, basically anything. I love when the heart time travels. It reminds me that I was happy, and am currently happy, so there is no need to worry about tomorrow because chances are i'll be happy...eventually.

About to Graduate!

My gosh did these 4 years fly by! And i know for a fact that these four years have been "the good ol' times" I will be referring to when I get older and reminisce on this beautiful and colorful experience i was blessed to have. I just want to take it all in, write about, learn from it, grow from it!  To be completely honest, I have no idea how these blog things work, and I am perfectly fine with that, because my writing is mainly for myself. This can be like an expressive online journal I can add to at anytime of day, wherever I may be. I love it. Because you know what, life is spontaneous and you learn something new every day. That's the beauty about it all, whether it be a happy day, a stressed day, a bad day--it doesn't matter-- you will learn so much about yourself and your strengths and about the people around you, and who loves you and who you love, and just YOU. Gosh I wish I would have started this way earlier. Maybe when I first started college, just to see how much I have grown, or changed, you know? But man oh man, this chapter is about to reach its final days and I am about to embark on a whole new one. A mysterious one, filled with uncertainty and fear and excitement! la dee da, how awesome is that? how scary is that? What ever happens, it will be alright. That's what everyone keeps telling us. It will be alright. and I believe them. Regardless of where I end up, I know there is success behind it. If i were to go to jail, most likely I would have a guilty conscience and the success behind that scenario is that I would have grown as an individual and learned right from wrong. but I hope that won't be the case. I already have a fairly decent sense of right from wrong. It was just one weird hypothetical scenario. Nevermind that. My bad...but yeah. Life is beautiful. Make the world a little kinder.
