today, as i was driving to an eclectic local shop for some gear, an organization was being discussed on the radio that pleased me: twloha. if you dont know what that stands for, you can look it up. its worth the effort. anyways, i remember when i first heard about them and what they were doing for youth and young adults across the nation- saving lives through informing others of depression, addiction, and suicide. man, that group really gave me hope in so much. myself. my peers. the world.. i heard about them when i needed some faith, and it was inspiring. it was nice to think of how far ive come from where ive been while listening to this particular radio conversation and it was even nicer knowing how much twloha has grown and conquered a very large war. theres something beautiful about people growing, even through pain.. because you achieved a goal. maybe one that you didnt want to ever have to set or maybe one you were forced into, but you made it through and it gives you a story. i feel accomplished, even if i havent really done much. i guess if anything, its because im finally going somewhere.
this weekend i was supposed to go visit a friend out of town and have a night out. however, extra school work and not getting hired for a job i was after has led me to stay in the city. it was disheartening to not receive the job at first.. the reasoning was because my school schedule interfered with the company's training session i would have to go through, which is understandable. i see it as an opportunity though. because even though i might be slowly running out of money and bills due at the first of the month are creeping in, i get to think about what else id like to see myself doing. maybe pick an even cooler place to work than where i had originally planned and meet some amazing people that i wouldnt otherwise. things like that make it good to have a more positive outlook on things and i know if it wasnt for my own growth, i wouldnt be that way. i welcome the hardships of job searching and attending school...because its helping me write the next chapter in my story.

i have to thank my friends for where i am now. if it wasnt for them, their love for me, and putting up with me while the world trampled and the devil knocked continuously on my door, who knows who or where id be. they are who have taught me how to love. no relationship has been that, just my friends and even my family. complete awesomeness, so thanks :)
