This used to be a blog for health tips. It was a good way for me to keep me in the loop of medical stuff going around web blogs. It was also a way to think that I could be of use to others. Keep those on facebook informed about good tips to be heatlhy. I used to think  that and I, were helpful to society. Then , I went on a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in the Dominican Republic. I was disconnected from most technology, willingly, and the blog stopped.
For those that haven't been to the DR , as we call it, need to make it a priority in their lives to go at some point in their lives. I will not argue, as many other missionaries do, that my mission was the best mission in the world. As a matter of fact, that can't be proven. Too many missions, too many different perspectives and points to be taken into account. I can , however, say that it was the best mission for me. ( No one can argue with that, just as no one can argue with me if I say that your shirt is blue, when it's yellow , etc. It's really all about perspective.)
As I seat here trying to summarize what happened in my life in the past 2 years of my life, I realize I have no words. ( That's really a metaphor, I have plenty of words, I just  don't know how to write them down appropriately so that I can communicate an idea with the exact meaning I want at this moment). I also realize that I am a much much better writer than this, but I am willing to give myself the opportunity to be flawed. Zero desire to impress anyone, just me at my very core. Truly, this is like me seating in front of you in my underwear or so. I'm secretly giggling right now.
I am happy to be writing. This is such a source of relief and release. I almost feel as if it was the only way I can clearly show what I feel. Though my talent is far inferior, I feel like Ann Frank, Mary Shelley, Ayn Rand and other writers. We are soul sisters, to the very core.
The greatest thing about learning to mature is learning who you are,being completely aware of your flaws and shortcomings. Realizing that those can and will only change with time , discipline and the secret of life which is love.
I'm going to keep writing this blog for the sake of throwing out there all my ideas and thoughts. If they occur as much as I talk to myself , prepare... beware.
I'm glad I stopped posting health tips. I am grateful to have the experience of having been in the DR and have that to share with the world. Thanks if you made it this far in the post. I really need to go to bed. I got two pairs of shoes for like 8 bucks. That's ridiculously cheap here in Costa Rica. I realize that all of the authors I mentioned could and probably had some pretty strong mental illness. I am happy to just open my heart and let the thoughts out.
I like the thought of not editing at all this posts. Enjoy. Be creative, edit it yourself. Consider this the Colbie Caillat of blogs.
