Service

So, I guesss this summer is going to be about community service for me. I've been doing a lot at my un-paid internship...but it's all good! and I've been volunteering with different groups around Tallahassee and looking for more opprotunites to do so. I always go into volunteering slightly dreading it. I know that sounds bad, but I just never know what to expect! And it always seems like people want you to volunteer at the oddest times. But everytime I leave, I feel refreshed, empowered, and like I truly helped someone. That's my motivating factor. The feeling I know I'll get after and the change in the community or in someone's life that I was a part of making.

It may not seem like the most fun, but doing something for others shouldn't have to be. It should simply be about your duty to help the community which has helped you. You may not see it, but no good deed goes unnoticed.

In other news, life's been pretty interesting. Living in Love is TRULY a challenge! Everyday, I have to remind myself of the way in which I should act to improve my life and it's almost like I have that whole angel/devil thing going on. Where the angel is telling me to do the right thing, and accomplish my goals and keep moving forward and the little devil is making me procrastinate or get upset over little things, or over-analyze every situation. So...it's an ongoing battle. I'm just trying to focus on what's really important and that's my self-growth. I tend to focus on the factors impacting my life instead of the way in which I should react to them. Then things go crazy. Geez, I feel all over the place. Need to get centered again.
