I've noticed a lot of my recent blogs have been sad. But I'm not sad, scout's honor.
And besides this crazy, unpredictable, giving-me-whip-lash weather, I'm insanely happy. I go to school, I do school work, and I get good grades. I go to work, I play best friend to everyone who walks in my store, and I get good money. I go to my hometown, I'm so in love I can hardly stand it, and I receive love back.
No, I don't live in a vacation spot. I don't have sunsets over crystal blue waters, or sunrises over snow-capped mountaintops.
No, I don't have lots of cash. I don't get to buy all the things I'd love to have, or go all the places I'd like to go.
No, I don't have a surplus of friends. I don't go to many parties, or post a lot of pictures on facebook.
But do you know what I do have?
I have my own apartment - My own apartment that looks like it was decorated by a blind hippie, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
I have enough money - Money that I worked my ass off for, and that I know I deserve... so when I treat myself, it's even more rewarding.
I have a family - a family that is so outrageously supportive and amazing that I couldn't have hand-picked them any better.
I have moments.
I have sweet memories.
I have intelligence.
I have strength.
Most importantly, I have love.
And I love having love.
What else could a person need?

In a life where we are constantly bombarded with diet plans and energy drinks, uppers and downers, meaningless work and even more meaningless promises, we are bound to find one inconsequential way or another to “waste time.” But like Thoreau said, “we cannot kill time without injuring eternity.” There is a euphoria that shines in every one of us when we feel productive, honest, and loved. This is written to attest the magnitude of love and the beauty that comes from simple observation.
