Just some things I got to thinking about this weekend...

I guess Amanda was right when she asked me what I was thinking about this morning...
She knows me too well to not know when something's on my mind.

I got to thinking about a lot of things this weekend. . .One, a thought that frequently crosses my mind, how blessed I am to have such an amazing family. It's people like Amanda, Ashley, Steven, Bobby, Sandy, Face, Charlie, Papa John, Auntie Raven, and so many more that keep me going everyday (I mean, outside of the people I live with =P) They are some of the reasons I get up every morning. And they just don't realize how much they mean to me.
It's people like Papa John who inspires me to do better. He was the person who inspired me to look further than what I can do and look at what I could do. He is one of the biggest reasons I am going to college. . .And he doesn't even know.
It's people like Amanda and Ashley that help me remember how the simple things in life can be the most amazing...The time we spent together friday was something I really enjoyed and will always have in my thoughts. Even if it was crazy, random and sometimes stupid things it was something that made my week.

Another thing that I've been thinking about, especially this weekend, is what my future holds for me. I have sort of a plan, I want to get my GED and I want to go to college, preferably for Occupational Therapy. Papa John made a lot of comments this weekend about me, he said over the mic a couple of times that I'm gonna be President of the United States one of these days, and honestly it made me start thinking (Like most things that he says does) that maybe I need to think outside of the box about my future. Yes, having a plan is good, but having other things in the works is even better. Thinking about all of the HIV/AIDS and Native American health issues that Papa John is currently working with, and I want to get involved with, the talk about all of these things made me realize maybe having a career is good, yes. But, one of the main things I want to do in this world is help. I want to help people, I want to help kids, I want to help the enviroment. . .I want to teach people how to be safe and healthy. I want to teach all these young girls that it's okay to be yourself and not care what people think about the way you look, I want to teach them to be confident and stay with their beliefs no matter what.
Those are the things that are really important to me.

That is pretty much everything that has been on my mind this weekend.
And I'm not sure what to do about some of it. . .
I hope things work out the way they need to.

Love & [World] Peace
