On my second week here I discovered something key. If unhappy with how life is going, change your stressor. Let that marinate for a second. If life is stressful; reevaluate what part of life is holding the stress. Is it your job? Your house? Your car payments? Your significant other? Or is it you?
Are you treating yourself kindly? How are you treating others? Are you unhappy? When you allow yourself a break from all of the distractions (facebook, Instagram, reality television, and gossiping) what do you find yourself enjoying? So many people are taking life for granted. Prior to this trip I was too. However just six weeks later and I feel hopeful again. I have small goals. I have ideas on how to get involved with things I like in my community. Sometimes we want to leave where we are to find something bigger and better when in actuality we just
have to revamp what we already have. The place that I grew up isn't a horrible place we just need resources for young people. We need to bring back the sense of community amongst each other. People deserve chances. Whether it be their first, second, or their twentieth.
After this journey I feel hopeful. I wasn't placed on this earth to be wealthy with things. I don't want that kind of wealth anyway. I want to be rich in community and love. However I need help to stay accountable. If anyone is reading this and you want to be apart of something bigger than yourself please join me on my journey of positivity and loving the place we live. Life is too short and unpredictable. I have a purpose on this earth and this year my goal is to find out just what that is.
Until next time!
