Friday night I went to see Highschool musical with Bri. It was a great movie, the best of the high school trilogy by far! Definately made for the big screen.
It was about the high school musical cast's senior year.
So, it reminded me of when I was in highschool and everyone says, "You have the power to become whatever you want to become... ... Then, you start to think... I want to change the world...
I will be 26 in one month and I have realized that when someone tells you that you can be anything you want to be, it is not necessarily true. I do agree that people create their own destiny and are forced to turn any situation into a good one BUT my life turned out nothing like I imagined it.
Last night, Bri said she wished that her whole family lived together in the same house and then she started crying.
I told her I was sorry she felt that way and that I understood because I used to want to live with ANYBODY else besides my family. When I was in highschool I researched colleges in EVERY state except 3 hours within range of Keller, TX. I wanted to get as far away from where I grew up as possible and I wanted nothing to do with my family. I looked at California, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, etc...
8 years later, I live 7 miles from where I grew up, I work with my parents 5 days a week, I attend the same church that my Mom days, I work out at the same rec center my Mom does, I shop at the same grocery store that my Dad does, I go to the same hardware store that my dad does.... do you see a pattern here?
I don't think I succeeded in achieving any of my dreams.
So, how do you measure success? If I died tommorow, what would I have to show for living for 26 years...
I guess you just have to make happiness out of what you are given. Maybe that is the true measure of success.. can you create happiness with what you have been given?
So, my next goal in life is to skydive....
I was reading an article on this lady who was going through a divorce and she decided to go skydiving. She wrote down every little hang up in her life that she wanted to get over and she wrote them on a piece of paper and then when she jumped out of the plane she let them go. How cool is that?!?!?
That's all for now :) @---)----)----
