Music

What is it about listening to a song on a radio as opposed to on your ipod or computer that makes it that much better? For instance, when I listened to Mr. Jones on my ipod the other day I then got home and deleted it from the playlist because I didnt like it that much at the time.  However, when I was driving home I found myself singing along and smiling. I haven't yet been able to determine the reason why but I believe it has to do finding it a special treat to hear as opposed to having the option to hear it any time you want. I think I liked what I didnt have or maybe the randomness and chaos of not having a choice was attractive to me? Whatever it was it was a highly enjoyable song and I hope for my enjoyable randomness and chaos such as that. 

90s child

I was looking at some old pictures and realized how badly I want to be a little kid again. Growing up wasn't always nice and fun but it definitely was the greatest time of my life. Soccer practice, game-boys, nickelodeon, all of it was amazing. There was no responsibility and worrying about what was going to happen if you failed this class or didn't make a good impression on someone important. Its funny cause every time I think about being a little kid I have a dream of a memory from my childhood. I miss childhood but I think that its never good to live in the past too long, cause it can distract you from the future and where you want to go in life. I hope to do great things and make a difference and make my younger self proud of what I become. Still though, got to remember to let my inner child run wild sometimes..... I suddenly want to go play in the aisles of Toys' R 'Us

HOPE

Since taking my psychology class on death and loss, I find myself coming back to the idea of hope a lot. We all hope to live forever and we all hope to live long and fulfilling lives. Hope is a powerful thing, one that I am finding myself having more and more. I hope my dreams come true, I hope my family is around forever, I hope my friends live their lives to its greatest potential, and I hope we all find what we're looking for. Hope is love, and we all need both, I hope to find  both
