------------------------------
Una Palabra by Carlos Valera is so beautiful, damn. That song just makes you think, even if you don't understand the song.
I have so far done a lot of cleaning, and I am hoping that I don't end up trashed by the end of the night. I have been just so fucked up these past few days.
I have never felt so bad in my life, because it was one of the first times, I didn't have anyone by my side to help me. I then went to the UC Irvine park, and find the bench that was made in memorial to my next door neighbor who died in an accident 2 years ago. I sat down, and I was sitting for 2 hours, listening to some light music, and just reflecting on my life. I cried for some time, of which I rarely ever do, and I picked myself up.
I said my goodbyes, and I took the long walk home. Nothing looked real anymore. I don't want to be here anymore.
I hate Irvine. I hate this place. I want to get out, and feel the air of a desert, the tops of mountains, I want to feel the rush of a city, I want to feel the roughness of giant redwoods, I want to pet an animal near extinction, I want to be able to stand next to things that have been around for thousands of years. To understand everything in my life.
I don't want alcohol and marijuana making things exciting. I want to live where I don't have to have them be my vehicles for happiness.
I can't believe I am killing this journal on the 15th, but I am. This part of my life, must come to a close. I am going to start writing in 4tifkamran. New Journal Name anyway. Shows identity. the '4'is there so my parents won't find it and scream at me later.
I have continuously seen myself garner success in my life. I want to live my life, and to be able to share with someone. I want to be with someone that I can teach and learn from. I want to be able to have friends that can find optimism in the darkest of situations. I want to be able to live and see the end of my days peacefully.
I want to see that I made a difference. This isn't about becoming famous. This isn't about getting remembered. This isn't about textbooks anymore.
All our ancestors did the most outrageous things, not to be remembered, but to feel that they had a purpose
Spirituality. bitch, it feels so good. I am only 18 years old, and I am at this stage in life already. I think I am even older than some 30 year olds.
