if you don't understand me then what makes you think that i understand myself?
my feelings might explain my actions, but my actions put my feelings into perspective. at the beginning of my journey at CP, i was rather introverted, shy, and uninterested in meeting new people and making any sort of friends. i had learned the hard way how to squelch my emotions and think rationally. i had been hurt consistently by my mother, and learned to keep all my feelings inside and let them fizzle out. i became stoic and didn't appreciate the statue i had made of myself. the years have gone by and i broke down all the walls. i let more people in than i thought possible. i learned how to share my thoughts and found it liberating. the hard hearted kurtis began to melt. my heart was no longer two sizes too small.
i sit here know wishing i could go back to how i was. i don't mean that i wish i had stayed the same, but i wish i could return to the old me. i have a feeling some changes are going to take place with me this summer that most people aren't going to be happy with, but i honestly don't really care. my goal in life is to touch people. i want to be the one to help you push your envelope, no matter what direction that may be in. i want to show people how to grow into someone that is in touch with who they are. me being extroverted hasn't proven itself as i thought it would. i don't like negative results and being ignored.
so i have decided i'm pulling back. an inward summer is what i want to experience. i will have the opportunity on a less popular ride. i am going to train my crew so well that no one, and i mean no one, will even know we're there. we will be self sufficient, our own little utopia. bar? bar none. i will be going to work, going to eat, and going to sleep. last year was enough crazy to last me for this season too.
