Woah, woah, wooooaaaah.
I have a blog?
Just kidding! I have been super busy the past few weeks. And I plan for the rest of the semester to get even more on top of my homework and ready for my senior recital (which is happening this semester - eek!).
Last weekend was exciting! I got to go on a little road trip with my mom for a family thing and ended up learning a whole lot about my family's history. I had never been to the town my grandparents grew up in, but we were passing by and decided to stop and take a look at the cemetery where everyone was buried. I better understood what happened with specific family members when I was able to see where they came from and where they lived. I really appreciated that trip.
I wonder if some of you find going to a cemetery creepy. I think they're full of history and a place that should be held with respect. Maybe it's because I lost both of my grandfathers before I was born and have visited their grave ever since, but I think cemeteries have a bad reputation. Some headstones can be beautiful and, honestly, you're probably going to buried in one someday so why not follow the golden rule - treat others the way you want to be treated? Well, I suppose in this scenario it would be treat the deceased the way you would want to be treated when deceased. Either way, they're a place for respect in my eyes.
Forrest Gump is currently on TV. I love this movie. It's raw and beautiful. Life isn't fairy tales, but you can do what you want with it. Make it your own. Ah, the things you watch before going to bed. I should probably hit the sack before it gets to the really sad part.
"Life is like a box of chocolates - you never know what you're gonna get". So carpe diem, everyone! Write you again soon.
