State of the Union (My thoughts)

I'm very skeptical about our governments ability to act upon all the issues facing our nation... we need to stop the spending, create jobs, improve our education and health care systems, immigration and the war... Everything President Obama said sounds like common sense, yet these issues continue to be unresolved because of special interests that out congress men/women have; they are not representing "we the people" they are representing the big dogs that put money in their pockets. I believe in this country and all that it stands for. I truly believe that this is the greatest nation in the world!!! We stand for prosperity and equality... the core principle of "all men are created equal" is one that I stand by.We just need to realize that the future is coming and we don't want to be left behind! Congress needs to get to work I'm tired of hearing the same thing over and over come on its COMMON SENSE! Let's forget about party lines and get something done! If they/we want a better America for our future children and grandchildren we need to stop the BS!! It shouldn't be about money; it should be about doing what's right.

When we love, we always strive to become better than we are.

When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too.

On my list

The Northern Lights is a sight that I truly want to experience before I die. I can just imagine the feeling of stillness and calmness that would just overcome my entire being. For now all I can do is hope

I always sit and wonder about my life. I think about my future, I think about who I was, I think about who I want to be, and I question if I'm happy with the person I am today. I have this anxiety that is forever present in my mind; I want to know if I will succeed, will I ever be happy with who I am? I'm nineteen years old and it seems that I am in a stage of question and doubt. I feel like I have no faith, but I am on a search. I am on the search for the answer; the ultimate truth. I feel like I need to believe in something, I want to feel like I have a purpose, a reason more than just to be successful financially and go to school. I know I'm young and maybe I'm asking for too much, maybe I need to stop over thinking life, and just let it take its course, but my nature does not allow me to do that; I can't just sit and wait, I want to get up and do something to make myself  feel fulfilled to some degree.  I know that there is little I can do to change this and I know that my heart may be a little to soft; I think I care a little too much, but once again I can't help it, it's my nature. I just hope that I find the answer to all my questions and find peace with in myself and with the world that surrounds me.
