A life that's meaningful.

Recently... Well all the time, I have been thinking about where my life is headed and what choices I have made so far.
Life is such a crazy ride full of unexpected obstacles and triumphs. In particular, being in college has forced me to focus on my life way more than I ever had. I have had to look at what I want as my end result, who I want to be there and what I will do to get there. I have had so many dreams throughout my life. When I was about 10 I told my parents that when I grow up, I want to be a golf cart driver because they get to drive all around. At the time, that seemed like the best thing ever. Just cruising down the street in my golf cart. Well I obviously changed that as the years went on.

Later in my life, when I was 16 I thought I wanted to be a journalist. I had always loved writing down what I thought and what my feelings were. I thought that if I could string words together that made people feel something than I would be happy forever. While I still have that urge to write, I decided it wasn't my path.

Now today, My dreams are to go to Disneyland or Disneyworld and be a performer. Being on stage gives me the best feeling that nothing else has ever fulfilled. I have always loved dancing from when I was little doing tap and ballet to when I was 13 twirling my baton everywhere to now when I am actively pursuing that dream by training as hard as I can. I also want to go into media advertising. Technology is where everything is going and I want to be a part of it. So even though I have the realistic dream job and then the one that others probably see as unobtainable. I bet you can guess which one works out for me.

Its kind of funny to think that throughout my life, I was always doing some kind of dancing but I never thought of it as something that I wanted to do until now.

Okay so now that you know what I want to do and how weird my dreams are, lets talk about how to find a life thats meaningful. With all of my dreams and hopes for the future, there is one thing that is very clear for me, and that is to have a life that has meaning. I think we all want that at some point. We want to live a life that others can be inspired by. A life that brings happiness or some kind of emotion to others because we made them feel that way. Well what I have learned over the years is that its up to you to make your life meaningful. I know. I was hoping there was an easy button to press to. But its fully true that in order to make a life that others are impacted on, you have to see your life that way as well. Dreams are not just suppose to be things that we wish would happen, they are suppose to be things we chase after and do anything and everything we can to become a reality.

Take chances even when it seems scary because those chances can turn into a million opportunities.

I know this was random but by now I am sure you are not surprised at all. Make a list of what your dreams are. Even if its just one simple dream, make sure you do anything you can to make it a reality.  At least try. That's all you could ever ask for yourself.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~UPDATES~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Last night I went and saw my friend Andrew perform at The Addams Family play at West high school. There's something so fun to go and support your friends. He is super talented and it was fun to watch him in his element. You go Andrew you go!!! haha! Also he did the tango and it was the best thing I have ever seen. :) If you live in Greeley go check it out.

One of my friends is getting married and she asked me to help out by serving food at her wedding! Its such an honor to even do that because I am just so happy for them and to be a part of it even in this way is super great.

The project that I have loved dearly is almost done. We are meeting tomorrow night to practice it some more and then on easter its time to do it! I will be so sad when its over but I feel so blessed to be doing it with such an amazing group. God has blessed me with some great people for sure.

I am going to be going to Cali in the summer which is soooo exciting! My best friend Ellie is graduating during my trip and even though I don't think I will be at the ceremony, I am hoping to see her and just hug her for 5 hours! haha! But yes. I am super excited about that!


Well that's all for now!
Until next time,
