“Stay where you are. Find your own Calcutta. Find the sick, the suffering and the lonely right there where you are — in your own homes and in your own families, in your workplaces and in your schools. … You can find Calcutta all over the world, if you have the eyes to see. Everywhere, wherever you go, you find people who are unwanted, unloved, uncared for, just rejected by society — completely forgotten, completely left alone.”
~ Blessed Mother Teresa

Maybe I'm Wrong, But Maybe I'm Ready
Is today Wednesday? hahaa it's definitely Tuesday.. SIXMOREDAYSOFSCHOOL! I can't wait! And not just to have the freedom that summer brings with it's beautiful weather and brilliant colours, but also to be able to leave my school books behind long enough to actually change the world. I'm not quite sure how, nor do I know if it will be significant to any more than just a few. To be able to leave my house with the excuse that "it's summer" which only works for two and a half months of the year makes my excitement level b u r s t
Planning this summer has been pretty high up there on the priority list since basically when last summer ended! However, unlike any other summer, I've set this one up for a chance at incredible opportunities. We'll see how it plays out. I can only imagine what is instore for me. So I've made plans, but open ended plans. Room for improvisation and schedual changes. It kind of describes the way I live. Planned, but room for "error." Should something much bigger come up then I could ever fathom.

I can already smell the campfires and hear the songs and feel the sunlight.

Teary Eyes and Compromise
You know when it's none of your business, but you get involved anyways because you truly want to help a friend and you feel the need to personally fix every situation? Maybe that's just me.
I knew it hurt and I knew she worried and I knew it weighed on her heart. I knew all these things just as much as I know she'll be alright. But how easy is for me to say that with all the conviction in my heart when she can't even get the whole situation out of her mind for even a second.
Were finding together what it means to survive every hurdle. But it's not surviving anymore, it's overcoming. We face trials so then, we acquire the means to overcome. No, it may never get easier, but here's to proving that it's worth it.
There are some pretty incredible people in this world and the situation might not always be ideal, but there is a plan and it is a perfect one.
Let go over the fear. Let go of the doubt. Let the life that you lead be all that you need.
