The Dominican Republic
So right now (at the time of me wirting this) I’m on the plane coming home from my service trip to the Dominican Republic (Or since it sounds so much cooler in Spanish: La Republica Dominica). How do I even begin to explain the things I felt and the things that I saw and experienced. The words that come to mind all seem inadequate. There are seriously no words to describe it. So I guess...

Home in the morning...
This has been an amazing trip.
Look, look, the Americans!
That’s what I keep hearing from these chldren as I walk by going to and from the clinic. I feel amazing to serve in this community. It’s amazing. That’s all I have tonight. Goodnight.
DR post 2
How do I even begin to explain how amazing today was. I can honestly say that this experience has been life changing for me. It’s something amazing that’s happening here. Today I worked in a dental clinic that my group set up. We were working on fixing some of these children’s smiles. One would get their teeth fixed and they would be so happy and tell their friends. I’m...
Sitting in the DR looking at the stars...
Being here really makes me realize how much we take for granted. the electricity works for about 5 hours every day, water isn’t safe to drink, and yet the people are still happy with what they have. There’s no such thing as a hot shower and the schools aren’t at the same level as in developed countries. This is going to be a short post because data is so expensive here…...
I really don't want to do this...
I feel like I was pushed and pushed and pushed to go on this trip. My parents supported me with whatever choice I made, but the organizer of the trip kept pushing and pushing. Yes I want to help people, yes I want to make a difference, but how am I supposed to do this when I know I personally am not ready to leave home and go out of my comfort zone like this. My heart isn’t in this,...

I was thinking about this earlier...
I realized while on a field trip to see Shakespeare’s ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’ that he really was a master on the subject of the human spirit. It amazes me on the continuity of the topics in his plays. Even though hundreds of years have passed since they were written, each one examines a different emotion that we as humans feel. Love, sex, lust, hatred, jealousy,...

Fuck this...
I’m sick of dealing with this shit. I’m gonna go sleep all day. Kbye.
The thing I find interesting...
Two years ago, to the week, my parents were fighting a ton (my family in general was), and it ended up with my dad moving out for 6 months. I hope and pray that we won’t make the same mistake as a family this time.

So she came back. Now everything is tense around...
Annddddd....
My mom finally got fed up and walked out of the house… Can’t even say I blame her.
So fucking sick of my parents.
I’m seriously SO pissed right now.
Yeah so I’m not sure what exactly to write about…
Mission Trip
A few things: First of all, thank you to everyone who voted for my friend for her contest. It means the world to me and the children that we can help. Second of all, if you haven’t voted yet, check out my earlier post, it has all the details and I will love you forever!
So on March 24, for a week of my spring break, I am going down to the Dominican Republic to teach in schools, work in the...

Dreams:
What are they, what do they mean? Did you know that you always dream when you sleep? Even if you don’t remember it, you absolutely had a dream. It’s funny actually, I’ve gotten to the point where I’ve had dreams and then woken up and wasn’t sure if it was real or not. At any rate, dreams are a testament to how powerful our minds really are, or can be. We literally can...

“Sometimes you climb out of bed in the morning and you think, I’m not going to make it, but you laugh inside — remembering all the times you’ve felt that way, remembering that you’re okay.”

What’s the best thing to do? Let it. We as people have dreams and aspirations, being able to see those dreams in our mind is what is so beautiful about life. This is the case for good dreams, that is. Bad dreams and thoughts can be controlled over time. The lesson being, when your mind wanders, what’s the rush to bring it back?
Nothing in my ask. This is rather upsetting.
One can not understand how strong they are, until...

What is beauty?
Earlier today in English, we had a discussion about beauty. Not about superficial beauty, but beauty as a concept in general. It got me thinking: what IS beauty? For a word that we throw around every day, one would think we had a better, more concrete understanding of what it is. But there lies the problem: Beauty has no real defenition, no real set parameters. There is no ‘formula’...
