"You're killin' me bigs!"

Sorry I haven't posted in a little while :D
Life has been a tad busy..

What have I done this week? Well Tuesday was our last day of the winter semester. That night I went to a co-worker's party. It was interesting to say the least. Wednesday morning, the guys and I went shooting again. Last night into this morning, I hung around the house with a good friend. She's a mental terrorist.. :) As for the rest of today, I've been looking at this history paper I need to write by 6am hoping it would write itself. It's gonna be a long night..

I want to start off with this, to serve as a reminder to myself and everyone that reads this.

I'm done living to everyone's expectations and constantly getting down on myself for not being 'good enough'

This year I have met some amazing people. Just hearing their stories really got me thinking "when's my turn?" I hunger for the feeling of greatness. The intensity of enlightenment. I dream of that moment when I'll find my calling. In this anxious wait, I've figured out at least one thing.. I'm still climbing my mountain.

See, some old friends from high school. even current friends in college are experiencing their peak in life right now. They're living life in the high point right now, but will forever remember their early twenties as the best years of their lives. You can instantly think of a few people. Hell yes, I'm having a blast in college, but my gut is telling me this isn't as good as it gets. Do not become discouraged though. Even if you're having the best time of your life right now, you are the only one that can choose between setting up camp where you're at, or to continue climbing your mountain. This seems risky, but you have total control in the matter.
This is YOUR life.

I had a long conversation last night with a good friend and her parents. We talked about everything from prior military experiences to stories about raising their children, this lasted well into the morning. One thing I can't get out of my head from last night is "if he treats his momma right, he'll treat his girl right." I know I'm not the best son, but I'd do anything for my family in the blink of an eye.


I'm gonna try to leave you every time with a question from now on, feel free to comment if you wish, but I really just want you to think deep about it.

Could you lay your life down for a stranger?

Have a good night,
