As most of my blog ideas come to me, this one has come in the middle of todays bowl game. Mizzou is playing Iowa in the Insight Bowl. I'm watching on tv and though we are ahead I can't really seem to get into the game. It's as if my mind has been suspended from Tiger Football due to violation of team policy. There has been so much on my mind, good stuff, not bad. My life has been fantastic lately, always, but more lately. I have so much enjoyed sitting around my house and just chilling. My family is fantastic and so understanding and I've gotten to eat more than my fill.
While being home not much super exciting has happened. I keep breathing and eating and sleeping. I keep in contact with my friends and I am okay with this. I am okay with wearing my pjs all day. I am comfortable not doing a thing at all.
This is a new thing for me. Usually I'm a busy bee running all around but here, I'm just a daughter home from school. Over break I have forgotten that I am home from school and I have just been home. It's nice to be home and actually feel like I'm home. Not that I don't miss Columbia and all, it's just nice to be here and be extremely happy.
I've said it a million times and I'll say it a million more. Life is about doing what makes you happy. You should do everything possible to make this happen and get rid of anyone that keeps you from it. I also believe that overcoming obstacles makes you stronger but some obstacles are in your way for the wrong reasons. Challenge yourself but not with obviously unbeatable challenges.
One of my favorite exchanges in Say Anything(movie) goes as follows:
"No one thinks we are going to make it do they?"
"No, but you just described every great success story."
When I think I'm being silly or way out of my zone then I think of this. I think of the boy and girl who loved each other so much that they were willing to overcome obstacles like that. Sometimes it is essential to remind ourselves that overcoming these obstacles takes two people, not just one with a lot of heart.
I believe that all you need is love more than most things in this world. I will continue to search for it and never stop enjoying what I find.
Don't get so caught up in the destination that you forget to enjoy the trip. The trip is half the fun and let me tell you, my trip is amazing. Keep searching readers, keep looking for that person whose love for you will go beyond the grave to "that crack at the edge of the end of the world."
I know sometimes it's tough, and sometimes you need a little push to do something you wouldn't normally feel comfortable doing. This is your push. This is me pushing you to sever the cords that hold you back and tie you to an unmovable obstacle. Cut it. I've done all but buy you the scissors. Be happy and let yourself be that way. Don't be afraid to rely on yourself to find you love along your journey. Some of the best parts of your journey are spent alone. The growing times and the reflecting times. The times for you to find what you are looking for.
Open your eyes readers and look around. You might be missing something that's right in front of you, like that boy you sit next to in math.
Pack your bags and take off for somewhere greener, somewhere warmer. Violate team policy.
