“Where will I be when I’m 100”
We all remember those "Where will I be when I'm 100" projects we did in elementary school. Well, our answers now are likely very different from what they were then. Mine is no exception. Now? Now, I want to be surrounded. When it comes my time to go, I want to be surrounded by a crowd of people whose lives will be forever changed because I left. I don't want to die alone. I want to die knowing a made a difference.

Three different nights - when all choose to unite
Yes.
Life, like many things, is a cycle. We corrupt nature, and the toxic environment we created corrupts us.
We tear down forests. Mudslides come down on top of us.
Nature throws us a hurricane. We replace beaches with dams and flood barriers.
We pollute. The clouds start to drop acid rain.
Wild animals attack us. We hunt them.
Earthquakes.
Wildfires.
Global warming.
A damaged Ozone.
It's a circle. No one wins. We may never know who started it. We're all trying to survive in a broken world.
From One 18 Year Old To Another
The world is a big place.
Don't loose yourself in it.
Explore, but don't wander aimlessly.
Keep your options open, but don't loose focus of what you want in life.
Enjoy the moment, but keep the future in mind.
Try new things, but don't be so quick to dismiss things from your past.
It's your life.
Yours.
So live it like you own it.
Happy Birthday!
