I often wonder, as I walk down the street, what has brought all the people I am surrounded by to such conclusions that putting effort into their own happiness isn't even worth their time anymore, or that old school values like honor and selflessness are outdated and better though of in legend like tales. It pains me to the extent that it brings tears to my eyes to think of how much beauty we are surrounded by, how many amazing things are happening right now, every waking moment of your life is a blessing... people spend their whole lives looking for god and fail to realize that they are forever surrounded by god through out every moment they experience.. How is it possible to lose appreciation for the sunset in trade for a lucrative career, or to never stop and breathe, and take the time to notice that each moment and rain drop and heart beat are here for you to experience and enjoy, not to pass by forsaken for a relatively pointless pursuit in the whole of it all.. Upon the day that I die, I ask for nothing more than the calmness in my heart that I get sitting on the beach watching the waves crash down onto the wet sand as the sun sets over the Pacific... Life is something so simple, that has fallen prey to this modern facade that things have to be complicated. People always say that we are a society of robbers, but I think we're the one's who have been robbed; robbed of our own sight to see what is and has been right in front of our faces our whole lives, you search and search for that unattainable happiness through careers, education, love, relationships, travel, money, material possessions, and yet you find nothing, but the yearning to search harder and deeper than you ever have before, instead of taking a step back and realizing that THIS, right now, is everything you've been searching for your whole life. I am a student of my own mistakes in life, my own judgments against other people, and my own misguided ambitions to seek something greater, and every day I'm shown that my greatest achievements could never amount to one day of any of the lives I have lived.. You are blessed, blessed with the ability to lay outside and look up at the stars at night, or climb a tree and feel the breeze blow over your face and through your hair, and it doesn't take anything more than your own willingness to notice the simple within the complex to extract a joy from even the worst day of your entire life, because that's what it's all about after all anyways right, Living; Experiencing every moment for what it is, the taste, the smell, the fear and joy, the disappointment or excitement, love, hate, happiness, depression, would it really be worth it to cut any of those out, for doesn't each make the other what it is to us? I am in constant awe of this life, and the people I am surrounded by, for they inspire me to challenge myself constantly, and I think through it all I have realized one thing over all. It has all been worth it.. every heart break, every friendship made, or black eye I've gotten, because I never want to stop this experience, I don't want it edited or censored or padded, I want my life to be full blown, raw, unbridled, and rich with emotion. If there were one talent I could choose, it would be the ability to open people's eyes to the vast opportunity for change that lay before them every day to change the things about their lives that leave them unsatisfied, and show them that life is, simply put, incredible.

and there's a lot of people who think that's pretty cool (because she deserves it).
