last night’s dream was vivid: i stumbled upon an interview between a journalist and Herman Melville. I couldn’t believe my eyes and I charmingly stole him away from the interview and spent some time with him myself. it was so wonderful.

as a result, i have spent the past 30 mins wikipedia-ing his life.

i also remember mentioning to him that if i were stuck on an island and could only bring one book, i would choose Moby Dick. but this is only because Gil Grissom from CSI: Las Vegas said to.

I’m 23 and I could die tomorrow and be totally content with the life I’ve lived.

I find this rare. I do not find many my age who believe the same; they have so much life in them they have not lived. So many ideas and dreams and aspirations…and they haven’t even brushed against one of them.

I have been given and I have lost. I have labored over and exerted effort and energy I never thought was in me to be where I am today. I have experienced. I have personally met, witnessed, and explored different parts of the world.

And the greatest: I have impacted. I have been told directly by people that I have changed their life.

That has to be the greatest feeling in the world.

I could die tomorrow and be totally okay with the life I have lived. And it makes me SAD that so many will never be happy with what they have. My dashboard and IG is filled with Helvetica captioned photos and famous quotes about success and “one day…”

I do advocate pushing the limits for yourself- seeing what else you’re made of. But never allow seeing what you’re made of an possibility of the future. Don’t let the idea of “someday” rob you of what can happen today. And prune those out of your life who never let you feel like you’ve done enough.

Step away from the computer screen for a bit. Put down that phone. And go do something.

“Haiti is a place that is very easy to love , and not only because the island is extremely beautiful. It’s an extraordinary feeling to be there - very heavy in a way, because the history is so terrible. But even though they have nothing, the people are generous and there is a sense of joy in the everyday, a joy you can see in this image. Before I went, people had said to me that it could be dangerous, but I didn’t feel that at all.”

whenever i allow my mind to remember Haiti in it’s full extent, i immediately miss my Creole brothers and sisters.

Almost forgot about this song. You sort of have to forget about this song in order to keep breathing.

Anyway, some day some fool is going to agree to spend the rest of his life with me and I am going to make him dance to this me every night before we go to bed probably. I’ll work out how to dance to it then.
