I somehow knew I was about to walk into something that was going to change me, at least for the time being. Walking up to the theatre, I felt as if I was back on the east coast walking into a local place. Simply I knew I was at the right place.
These films were about connecting man with nature. They were stories of overcoming life obstacles, highs and lows, mountains and valleys. They were about not just letting life pass you by but utilizing and enjoying the world around them. That's really what any of us are trying to do. It's just finding that thing that you're passionate about in this world, on this Earth.
Im going to change gears, but just bear with me. I have been babysitting one family for about eight years. I have grown to become an extension of their home. The mother of family is in communications and one day she told me to find a niche; find something I am passionate about, that will give me a reason to wake up in the morning. We spent the rest of the night chatting and defining success.
I think I have found my passion. I love to travel and know that it will forever
be a part of my life. I love children and have a dream of teaching english abroad. In terms of writing and journalism, it's water. I want to get back into kayaking, something I remember loving as a kid. I distinctly remember my first time in a canoe. I want to write about water on the Earth and how it's disappearing. I am so excited to start this new chapter of my life. I've got so much to look forward to this year. I've just send out some applications to some unbelievable travel jobs. I have back up plans after back up plans of what to do after college as graduation is only nine months away.
I've got so much to see, so much to do. This may be just another twenty year old epiphany, but I hope this feeling stays a while.
