I've noticed that I have been blogging less and less, especially on Livejournal. I feel the need to keep a record here simply because it goes so far backwards into my past thoughts...I need to somehow preserve this record of my life.
I wish I could describe my road trip to California in words that would truly do it justice, but I would need to write a novel to do that. It was truly the adventure of a lifetime, it changed me for the better in many aspects. I feel enlightened, and excited about the possibilities that life can lay before me. I got a little emotional at the end of the journey, and I still get residually mushy about it when I really look back on it all.
One thing I must mention though, the Grand Canyon literally took my breath away. The world is such a huge and amazing place!
I feel good about how things are going right now, everything seems beautiful. I couldn't be more glad to see the leaves on the trees! And when they start to fall off i'll have something else to pump me up: school!
I think it's a deeply underlying fear that I won't be the artist I hope to be, but right now that doesn't scare me.
Things with Ceilidh are incredible. In the past month I feel like we've overcome some small obstacles, and we're continuously growing in our lives together. I love those days when I look at him and my heart feels like it's rushing to the front of my chest and pulling towards him. I don't know if it's just me or if he really is getting more irresistable-looking all the time. Hmmm..
Anyway, i'm off to return my library books. The KPL blows in comparison to the Waterloo Library, so i've got a bit of a trek to the uptown ahead of me.
Here are some pics from the trip. The first is Ceilidh and I in Death Valley, Nevada and the second is myself looking like a tour guide at the Grand Canyon in Arizona:
