In counting: 3.....

Waking up never felt as good as it did today! Three days left until take off and I am happier and more excited than ever!!!!! Today, January 22, 2010, I will start to pack things I might need. Thinking about what I really need aside from what I want to bring is going to be the hard part. I guess the first part is letting go of material things....i.e make up, things to do my hair....ect. It's going to be fun because I'll really be living as ME and not as a made up person with make up on and hair all done. Not to many people are comfortable being themselves as they are. I mean when you really break it down, most people want to be the best, the prettiest, the most successful.... but why? Why are people so uncomfortable being themselves? and is it really that bad? I don't know but I'm about to find out!!! I'll let you know what it's like while I'm on my journey!

When I think of all the people in my life that I truly admire and look up to, they're the people who are 100% comfortable with themselves, who stick up for what they believe in, and they're always pushing themselves to do their best while making sure the people around them are happy too. They're the people in life who don't care what other people think of them. If they are proud of something, they don't flaunt it in people's faces, they ask people what they think of they're new idea, painting, song, creation and take in every bit of feedback, good or bad and then try to make the person see why they did what they did. They try to inspire people, make people think, make people question things. These are the people that I look up to the most. The people who try to make you see things in a different way than what we perceive them.

So to wrap things up, today I start the quest of letting go of who I thought I was and start finding who I really am!
