sighing just a little bit.

dearest world,


life is hard. in case you hadn't already figured that out yourself. today, all i want to say is this:


"every great dream begins with a dreamer. always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world."

we might all want to change the world (thank you, beatles), but that doesn't take away from the fact that we all have the power to change the world. and i forget that every single day. i never fail to forget that i can do whatever i want. learning to trust yourself is the most important thing you can learn, truly. because if you lose faith in yourself, you lose faith in the world...and that just leaves you feeling empty. starting a new life is scary. so many people are excited for college, and that's great. but a lot of people aren't there yet, and for those of us who've fallen behind, we're a little more scared than excited. unavoidable change like that can be really scary if you don't feel ready. and you can't force yourself to feel ready for anything. we'll just have to take it one day at a time.


unfortunately, itunes won't open for me right now, so i'm not really on top of my music...so i don't have any music to leave you with today.


love always,


cecilia
