| "Have you ever thought about what protects our hearts?
Just a cage of rib bones and other various parts
So it's fairly simple to cut right through the mess
And to stop the muscle that makes us confess
And we are so fragile
And our cracking bones make noise
And we are just
Breakable, breakable, breakable girls and boys" - Ingrid Michaelson "Breakable" In this moment I am shamefully reminded how breakable we are. I have just recieved the news of the death of a classmate.
As my eyes traveled through all of the comments on Facebook from friends, aquaintances, maybe even strangers, the common theme was, " i love you" "we love you" and comments about how much she mattered to them.
Why do we wait until they are gone to say i love you?
Why do we wait until we're dressed in black surrounding a casket in a cemetery to tell them what they mean to us? How breakable we are. And thats why we must make it known to those we love...that we love them.
Dont wait until you have to put it on Facebook and hope it somehow finds its way across the universe to their departed spirit. If we do it today, it will only have to find its way from your lips to their attentive ears.
Yes, we are just breakable girls and boys. But no one ever said we couldnt keep each other from breaking. -C
p.s. Dont get me wrong. I know those who knew her wanted to show how much they will miss her, and im not trying to chastise anyone here. im sure many of you make it known to those you love that you do love them. this is just what came out of my heart when i heard of this tragedy.

| "Dont it always seem to go, that you dont know what you got till its gone. They paved paradise and put up a parking lot..." -Counting Crows
Moving on in life is inevitable, and even moreso now, hindsight is 20/20. Im seeing many things now that i miss, and more things that i dont miss, and some things about my former self that need to die, like my need to impress people, and the feeling that no one will like me here. On my backpacking trip, a lot of things died in order that i may live today. We had a time of reflection where we had to spend three hours in solitude in the mountains, just you God, and His creation. I learned so much in that time, and it didnt even seem like three hours. At one point a single stream of sun came through the leaves and rested on me. at that point i felt the presence of God.
So here am i. im alive. Im making so many friends, and witnessing so many Godly people in this place. i've never been in a place like this. change is good.
Sure its still akward sometimes, and sometimes paradise seems to have been paved over, like when i realize i dont have all of the luxuries....and funds...of home, but paradise can be found anywhere if we let God show us the little things He sets out before us. And when we ignore those things, we end up paving paradise with a parking lot by our own hands.

| Im just letting you all know, or anyone that still reads this, that im not posting anymore.
I really dont want to go into why, b/c its hard to even put it into the best words possible.
I'll consider starting it back up in college this fall, but for now i've gotta say adios.
Thanks.

| So i went to see the movie "Sicko" last night, and it was a jaw dropper. O btw, hey! i know i havent been here in a while. Anyway, if anything, it made me want to go into healthcare even more, to give everyone what should'nt be a luxury: their health. I know im only one person, but someone needs to say enough is enough, and decide their paycheck isnt as important as the health of every American.
The movie wasnt about people who didnt have insurance, it was about the millions of Americans that do, but when something goes wrong, they're hung out to dry, and in some cases to die. it made me livid.
when it comes down to it, its all about money.
The movie showed other countries and how their healthcare is a given. They go to the E.R. and they leave with no bills. wow. and here you leave with thousands in bills.
When i graduate from med school, im moving to England......
Im not a huge michael moore fan, and there are exaggerations in the movie, but this was a much needed movie and i loved it. now to see if anything will change.
See you in England. pip pip
lol
