Cosmic Love

A falling star fell from your heart and landed in my eyes I screamed aloud, as it tore through them, and now it's left me blind The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out You left me in the dark No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight In the shadow of your heart And in the dark, I can hear your heartbeat I tried to find the sound But then it stopped, and I was in the darkness, So darkness I became....

No matter what...

In every moment of our lives, we can choose to love, to forgive, and to help make the world a better place.

Life is good.

Yesterday, I saw that my Old English professor's sweater said "Life is good"...and today, I really feel that life is so good! I must admit that I feel very guilty blogging about this right now...or even feeling it, when numerous are suffering from the earthquake tsunami disaster that hit Japan. It's the first time in my life, that threats of nuclear meltdown are headlines in the news. Though it's supposedly not nearly as devastating as Chernobyl, I still can't imagine what it would be like to be in Japan right now. Today, my dad made a good point - why donate to charities, unless you know exactly where your money will be going. And if you want to help, go in person to the country, and volunteer. I wish that someday, I'll be able to be so brave as to do so.

Despite current events, I can say, for the first time in many months, that I am truly happy...and that I feel good. Today's weather was absolutely gorgeous. It seems pretty mundane to talk about weather, but I hadn't realized how much time we had spent in the dark for the past 6 months. It was so nice to see people playing soccer and basketball outside, having lunch outside on picnic tables, and to simply feel the sun shining on you. Today was also the big day I've (and 4 other friends) have been waiting for. It is amazing to be able to say that I can soon consider myself as a published author....during my undergrad career! Simply amazing! I have never worked so hard in my life, and although it all seems so surreal now, it was worthwhile. In general, things have been going well in my life....I've been doing really well in school this year (finally! my last year!), I'm about to graduate, I'm going to 4 different countries this summer, I'm exercising every week (salsa and yoga!!!), eating healthily, and finally losing some weight! I just feel great.

I'm so happy that I've finally found hobbies! I love doing hatha yoga...it's not as torturous as hot yoga, and I actually feel focused and am able to do the poses. Salsa has been keeping me happy - it just has been so fun. And I'm actually doing something that I could never imagine myself doing. I've been stepping out of my comfort zone a lot lately...and I like it!

It seems as though after four years of hard work, good things are finally happening...not to say that last summer wasn't absolutely amazing!...

It's crazy how I can finally feel so good about myself when I have 5 papers to write within 2 weeks, then final exams, then graduation, then piano exams!

....I should probably get back to writing my paper now....
