Go on an Adventure

Dear World,

I'm so excited and nervous at the same time. So for the next five weeks I'm taking a really challenging class in half the time it usually takes. None the less it's a film class. I believe I'll be busy and I can get it done. But there is still apart of me some hesitation, because it's the unknown. The unknown is challenging, but it's the adventure. Last night I found out a film I made didn't really win anything. I realized that I can be happy on my own. And don't really need anything to try to cheer me up. Do you ever take out your anger or sadness out on someone else when you don't mean to? I've never done that until the other night. And it was stupid to do so. It doesn't accomplish anything, except waste time. Now as August approaches I'm getting really excited for September. Even though it's good to enjoy summer, it's nice to go back to familiarity. The sense of family, not being alone factor. That summer in Savannah has brought. Granted I've made many new and amazing friends, gotten experiences for down the road, but I still would've preferred to have my friends home. The life all SCAD students love: Family and acceptance filled with creativity and adventure. So, world I challenge you to take a new step in the direction of happiness and embrace your next new moment vividly without hesitation. I leave you with this:

"Life is either a daring adventure or nothing. Security does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than exposure."

-Helen Keller

Enjoy your night.

Love,
