Peace Corps

So, I had a day off today and I was just sitting around thinking about life and the opportunities that I've fortunately been able to take advantage of. Some of my passions are things that I get to express on an everyday basis which I am thankful for but I can't help but to want more. One of my interests lies in community service and if you know me, you should know that I love traveling as well. With these two things being true I realized that the Peace Corps might be an interesting life after college choice for me.

Although I'm in love with the idea of the Peace Corps, I'm seriously terrified of the fact that you have to do 27 months in another country. My thing is that I'm also passionate about acting and I don't want to miss out on opportunities to act because I spent a long amount of time in another country, you know? I'm so confused about this topic and could seriously use any advice that you all have to offer. PLEASE HELP!

2011- A New Me

Soooo, it has begun... a new year. I'm excited for a this fresh start. I've decided that this year is all about me. I will do whatever makes me happy, even if it pisses other people off. I'm tired of sacrificing my own happiness for the happiness of others. I've learned that you can't truly help anyone until you've learned to help yourself so that's just what I'll be doing.

I mean that in every aspect of life. I've been so scared of relationships and trusting people but I've only hurt myself through the many rejections I've given. People see me as a rude person and I've been that way because I don't like to get too close to people or let them see me in a vulnerable state. This year, I'm changing that. I'm taking risks and I don't care who knows it!

I feel like this is going to be a year full of opportunities and I won't let my fears of failure get in the way. I'm done being my own obstacle! Weeeepppppaaaaa to the new year.
