This is something I may have talked about before, but I do not even know how to explain how important this is. Today I am studying my micro-economics and accounting class work and I am so done with those two courses. I understand they might help when it comes to finances, but my mind does not cooperate with those two subjects. It adds stress to my body and spirit, and does not make my heart sing. I am also watching TED talks, and creating surveys for my speech class, and I do not even stress when I think about that. I love doing it.

This spring I will be in the schools production of "Waiting for Godot" and I could not be happier. This is something that when I was younger I did not really get to explore but know I would like. I went to the audition nervous and very unprepared. However, I knew that this was something I would love to do. I walked in there confident and just ready to act. I had no idea what they wanted, and I felt excited and weird, and it was fabulous. I have an issue with caring about others thoughts and opinions too much. It really stops me in my tracks. I wonder where I could go if I learn to let that shit go. They care too, even though it might not seem like it. Lots of people care about the opinions and thoughts of others. It is a deadly cycle. We move to neighborhoods where others raise their kids like how we want too, where others act like we do, and if anyone or anything else comes into the picture, we stare and judge. It is very difficult.

This leads me to explaining why doing what you love is so important. All your life (or at least the majority of you) people will tell you that money brings you happiness, you need to do something that will bring you money. I am not here to say that is wrong, I just am here to say that you have a talent, a purpose, hell call it a calling if you want too. There is something I am sure deep down you imagine yourself doing and you glow. Whatever that entails, you owe it to yourself to do it. There are so many ways to grow up and become something you wish you were not. Do not be that person. Be proud of yourself. Be in love with who and what you have become. They say that you must get through the places you do not want to be, to get to the places you want to be. I think that is true, but I also think that doing what you love, comes with hard times, but you still know you are doing what you love. That makes all the difference. I do not know what fear runs the world sometimes, but do your best to know that it is not real, and that what you love is.
