Act out, fight AIDS!
I was thinking today, when do we really become who we are. Can we pinpoint that one moment that we changed or at least the biggest moment... And when do we finally come to realize that this is the person we are and whether or not we like it we can change yet again. I've realized that too many of my ideals have sat idle on the sideline while I stopped to please others and not saying I want to be selfish but I want to be able to give more but still be who I once wanted to be. I'm going back to languages because without them I feel slightly dull and flat. I find myself slightly green with envy everytime someone talks about a language they know that I don't or when they're at a farther level than me. I know that sounds slightly childish but I can't help but feel that the only way to demolish barriers is if we can communicate through them. When did I stop thinking that I could make a difference when did I think that I'm just one less person when all along if we all think that there would be no one left. I'm not the person I wanted to be but I'm going to become the person that I wanted to be. I will be that person within a year and then it'll only be the beginning. I'm not going to start when my contributions can make large impacts on the situation I'm going to start now and slowly accumulate until my small part has become something larger. I know I can organize people to make a difference and I'm going to start doing that. So now my advice to you, don't drive: ride your bike, take metro transit, walk. the exercise or the ride are a great way to clear your mind and get your blood flowing because the last thing we need as a society is to jeopardize our health more than we already have.
