If you're looking for the fun stuff and pictures, scroll down! If you're looking for the deep stuff, stick around, because this is it!
So I was referred to this website called indiegogo.com by my oldest friend, Tammy. I stayed up until 5am wondering how I was going to explain what this trip really means to me, I figured since I'd spent all the time to express my feelings (not even really reaching the minor details either!) that I'd probably better post them on this blog for the people who are wondering what the trip is really about for me.
So instead of bogging this page down for your eyes and to make it easier to ignore if you really want to, I'll just link you to the website. The website is designed for people to campaign a cause and allows people to donate, so if you want to donate or help me on this trip or show your support or cheer me on and push me on this journey, anything would be appreciated. :) http://igg.me/p/117849?a=666932
Now that that is out of the way I'd like to talk about something have been thinking about lately. I love having in-depth conversations with intelligent people because they always lead you to new ideas or new ways to explain old ideas more simply, and it just makes life interesting. The other day I was speaking on the idea that love is simple and perfect. At the end of the very long conversation I have come to the conclusion that love is like electricity in it's power, and purity. When electricity is without a vessel and has no direction it goes where ever it wants or is called and is wild and powerful. When something as flawed as a human tries to direct it we get things like power outtages, fires, sparks, and blown fuses. It's not the electricity that is flawed, it is the mechanism. Love is perfect, and powerful, people are not. Simply put love is an array of feelings that belong to good intent, it is a feeling. You can't exactly define how love "acts" but how love "feels". Those who love or are in love still make mistakes, but those mistakes are based on one's character, common sense, personality, integrity, etc. but you cannot say they did not love you based on their actions alone. Actions speak louder than words, but feelings cannot speak for themselves. Any way that's enough of that! I just wanted to touch on the subject. :p
So another thing is, I still haven't posted anything about my journal entries yet, so I figure I'll wait since I've already posted one post today, and this will be the second and it includes a link to more material that might as well be a blog in itself! But I should be leaving Arizona in a couple of days... The more I realize I'm really leaving the more I make myself nervous, but I keep telling myself (as so many other keep telling me as well) that I just need to take it as it comes or I will regret not going, or not living it to the fullest, so that is what I must do. This trip means so much to me and I could never forgive myself for not following through. I'm putting a lot into this trip and hoping to get just as much out of it. My daddy told me that my grandparents met on the road! That really made me smile at the irony of it all. No matter what you call it, whether it's uncanny, coincidence, a sign, or reassurance, or god, or fate, or cosmic energy... It's all of the above and to me it means this feeling that has lived with me my entire life began before I was even born. My destiny was truly written in the stars. This trip, my whole life, I was meant to be, and I smile at that. My grandparents met on a skiing trip in Red River, NM. My grandmother from Canada, and my grandfather from Michigan. I hope they are looking down upon me sweetly knowing what lies ahead. I pray.
That's all folks!
