I'm going to my cousins 21 st b day party tonight with my friends, I can't find anything to wear. Hey whatever I'll just repeat an outfit. I really don't feel like going but I know once I'm dressed and on my way I'll have fun. It's all the way in the city and I'm in long island. I have to go and get my friends at Hofstra then drop them off. I'm too young to start ditching opportunities to hang with my friends. I just want to chill but, I'm dressed now. I wont have ay expectations about it Ill just play it by ear. besides I have to be there for my cousin you only turn 21 once, it's a big day for her.
So off to the city I go. Party!! Whooo.
Been doing well in school so I deserve some music and some fun. yeah why not. No drinking and driving of course always the designated, I accept my responsibility, I heard my pastor say one time.
"Maturity doesn't come with age but with the acceptance of responsibility" I accept responsibility for my choices good and bad. I reap the harvest of the seeds I sow. So be it. Wow that was a bit serious. Any way it's time to go.

Relating to songs

Sometimes, when I feel like my dreams and goals are far far away, I wonder when and how I'll achieve them. While pondering this I even sometimes wish that there was some kind of short cut to achieving what I want out of life. Then I realize that there aren't any shortcuts when it comes to things that are worth fighting for. I've also realized that achieving your goals and reaching your most farfetched and "out there" dreams are not as satisfying without the necessary climb. The journey one takes on your way to achieving ones dreams may be just as sweet and memorable as achieving those dreams the long run. Where is the fun in having everything always handed over to you?

I don't listen to Miley Cyrus, but I have come across a song of hers that I really like! It touches me every time I listen to it. I relate it to my own life, it helps when things get tough and my dreams seem far away. Read the lyrics carefully, they're so inspirational to me. Maybe they can be an inspiration to you too! :)

I can almost see it
That dream I'm dreaming but
There's a voice inside my head sayin,
You'll never reach it,
Every step I'm taking,
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking but I
Got to keep trying
Got to keep my head held high

There's always going to be another mountain
I'm always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes you going to have to lose,
Ain't about how fast I get there,
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb

The struggles I'm facing
The chances I'm taking
Sometimes they knock me down but
No I'm not breaking
I may not know it
But these are the moments that
I'm going to remember most yeah
Just got to keep going
And I,
I got to be strong
Just keep pushing on

Keep on moving
Keep climbing
Keep the faith
It's all about
It's all about
The climb
Keep the faith
Keep your faith!

Back to the USA

Hi guys!

I've been back in the US for about 2 weeks now. I've been overwhelmed with catching up with work for school but I'm happy to see my friends. I missed school somewhat as well. Australia was a great experience for me though. I got to meet and hang out with two bands that I happen to LOVE the whole time that I was down under. Gym Class Heroes and THE KILLERS <3. It truly was amazing. Everyone from each of the bands were so nice and cool. I even got the exchange numbers with some of the ones I got along really well with so that we could keep in touch!

It was a dream! We traveled A LOT from city to city by plane, staying in hotels for only 1-2 days at a time. We were constantly on the go and it was very tiresome, but I would do it a million more times if I had the chance. One of the guys from Gym Class Heroes even got engaged on the trip! I ended up really connecting with his fiance. She was really cool and down to earth. They have the cutest little one year old baby together! The baby's name was Hero!
