Upon thinking about where I am in this life, i am still completely unsure of who I want to be. I DO know that I want to live in the happiness of truth and love, and never want to be in a place where I lose my childlike innocence and joy. Surrounding myself with kids is the easiest way to keep myself in such a state and teaching them is going to be the biggest gift to my heart.

As for where I am right now, in this big house, I feel slightly alone in the sense that I am not completely vulnerable with any of the people I live with, and it feels like this house is so empty at times. At times, we resort to silence and spend way too many hours in front of the square mind-deteriorating machine called a television. I miss the open conversation and relatability of friends and always having people around that share the same life stage as me.

RULE 2: GENERAL DUTIES OF A STUDENT:
PULL EVERYTHING OUT OF YOUR TEACHER.
PULL EVERYTHING OUT OF YOUR FELLOW STUDENTS.

That's a strange stillness that you're talking about. When I got back from Guatemala I felt it...I guess I'm still feeling it a little. Why is it that our families seem to have the thickest shell to get past before we can actually really speak to the person under all of the layers? Hang in there Danielle, you do have a purpose there and right now is one stepping stone to that which you know brings so much life.

p.s., I like the rule...but as a teacher wouldn't you just abhor a student like that?
