"Make a radical change in your lifestyle and begin to boldly do things which you may previously never have thought of doing, or been too hesitant to attempt. So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservation, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a man’s living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun. If you want to get more out of life, you must lose your inclination for monotonous security and adopt a helter-skelter style of life that will at first appear to you to be crazy. But once you become accustomed to such a life you will see its full meaning and its incredible beauty." Into the Wild
It's amazing that something so simple as talking can help you face even your deepest problems. All you need is a willing friend and a little time. Last night I had one of the best talks with a girl I admire so much. I thought I knew her, but I learned much more than I could ever imagine. This girl is holding the world on her shoulders and the weight is starting to bring her down. She is so used to conformity that it's become her own personal prison. What she struggles to see is how amazing she is and how much potential she has to make a difference in this world. All she needs to do is let go of her inhibitions and her life will having meaning once again. My biggest hope for her is that she sees what I see in herself and takes that first step to becoming the person she is meant to be. I have faith in her and I hope she's knows that I will be by her side through thick and thin.
Love you lil sis :)
