So it feels like it has been forever since I have blogged. I suppose that has to do with how much F-U-N this summer has been for me. I don't really have an "introduction" for this topic, so I'll just dive right in.
Like I said above, this summer has been so far the best summer of my life hands down. However, many lessons have been learned in these past few weeks. Lesson one: don't try to plan anything. Spontaneity has become part of my nature. Any of you who read this and know me probably wouldn't be able to imagine that. I have found that plans are meant to be broken, and worry is unnecessary. The best nights I have had this summer have been loosely planned with plenty of surprises to be had.
Lesson two: don't worry about people's approval of your decisions. I know that I have talked about this before, but seriously, it is even more relevant now. I am working a job and doing online summer school. When I have free time, I am out enjoying the company of my friends and doing awesome things. I couldn't be happier because I really think I am shaping up to be the person I am supposed to be. My family, however, thinks that I am on some kind of road to destruction. I have realized that no matter how many explanations or pleas to let me live my life, it will still happen. Despite this, my approval and the approval of God is the only ones that matter to me. When the day is over, I am the only one who feels the satisfaction or lack of with my life.
Lesson three: take chances. Lately, I have been struggling with a personal issue. Finally, I decided to take the leap and try something completely new and different. I think it has been really beneficial to me, too. However, this lesson can be applied to anything. Always wanted to go skydiving? Do it. Been thinking about asking that special someone out on a date? Do it. You'll never know how awesome something is unless you actually take the chance and do it. So stop saying "maybe" or "some day I will..." Just do it.
