my thoughts in someone else's words.

I’m a bitch, deal with it. Because honestly, I’m gonna say what I want, do what I want, and be whoever I want. And nobody said that I had to like you.

I know I’m not the nicest person in the world. You don’t have to tell me. But at least I’m not hiding who I really am, like you.

and just for my best friend: i found this and thought you'd like it.
So there’s this boy; and the way he laughs, slaps a smile to my face. The way he talks, sends butterflies to my tummy. And maybe, just maybe, everything about him makes me happy.

wonderful theme for life.


Woke up in London yesterday
Found myself in the city near Piccadilly
Don't really know how I got here
I got some pictures on my phone

New names and numbers that I don't know
Address to places like Abbey Road
Day turns to night, night turns to whatever we want
We're young enough to say

Oh this has gotta be the good life
This has gotta be the good life
This could really be a good life, good life

Say oh, got this feeling that you can't fight
Like this city is on fire tonight
This could really be a good life
A good, good life

To my friends in New York, I say hello
My friends in L.A. they don't know
Where I've been for the past few years or so
Paris to China to Colorado

Sometimes there's airplanes I can't jump out
Sometimes there's bullshit that don't work now
We are god of stories but please tell me
What there is to complain about

When you're happy like a fool
Let it take you over
When everything is out
You gotta take it in

Hopelessly
I feel like there might be something that I'll miss
Hopelessly
I feel like the window closes oh so quick
Hopelessly
I'm taking a mental picture of you now
'Cuz hopelessly
The hope is we have so much to feel good about

brevity.

all good things shall come to pass.

for that matter, most bad things as well.

i simply regret that when good things disappear, i have a sour taste in my mouth. because more often than not, i'm just passing my happiness onto someone else. and of course, as glad as it makes me for that person, i'm naturally a bit jealous. of what i had, what i lost, and what they took from me.

i must learn to seize happiness and goodness when it comes my way. i have to protect it, cling to it, and never, ever let it go.

a blessing and a curse.

good people. argentina is full of them.
being around them reminds me that the world actually is a good place. living in america, i sometimes wonder how there can be so much bad around me. i've come to realize though, that human nature is inherently good. and it gives me hope.
however, there is a downside. it magnifies my own flaws. i can see exactly where i am lacking. i could be so much kinder. i could be so much more caring. i could be so much more dedicated. i could be more good. i am good. but there is always more good to be had.
i will never forgive myself for not taking action in times when others needed me. the pictures run over and over in my mind. all i can do to console myself is remember that there will always be another chance to do good. and next time, i can be that person to console the woman weeping in the church. or to pick the handicapped girl off the ground. or to feed the little girl whose parents are nowhere to be found.
as much as i care, i know i can care more. i know i can love more. i know i can serve others more. and from this point on, i will. i am good people.

the beginning.


i went on an adventure over the last 10 days. i visited a number of places throughout southern argentina and the patagonia region. after careful calculation, i realized that i traveled 7198 km (all by bus) during this trip. to put that into perspective, that's approximately 4500 miles.
i enjoyed every single kilometer of that journey. and i hope that those initial 7200 kilometers only lead to thousands more over my lifetime.
i keep saying that my trip was an "adventure". but i take that back. it wasn't an adventure. my life is my adventure. that brief trip was nothing more than one small destination along the path of the journey of my life. and that destination, in patagonia, was just the beginning. it gives me inspiration to find more destinations. to travel to many more places. and to discover the world.
