Summertime Ramblings



Okay so I haven't posted anything in a while but I have truly been very busy. Just got back from a beautiful trip to Maui with the family (see FB for the pics) and besides that I have been lifeguarding and also trying to enjoy my summer. Of course I've still been spending as much time with her as possible. I'm not sure where I left off in talking about her but really not much has changed. We still hang out and really enjoy each-other's company. We have had countless ups and downs but enough ups to make the downs seem trivial and meaningless. I have learned a lot this summer. I have also listened to a ton of music. I feel like these two things are related because I can sum up a lot of the things I have learned this summer in song lyrics. I realize that is corny as hell but its still true. For instance, from Billy Joel's "Vienna", I have honestly learned that "when the truth is told, you can get what you want or you can just get old". The amount of worrying I have done so far in my life is unhealthy and useless. Doing what makes you happy is the only way to live, not wrapped up in so much worry over what will make others happy or what is "right" that you tear yourself apart. Of course, logic and reasoning must still come into play as well as SOME restraint haha. But yeah, thats one of many things I have learned so far this summer.
