i love it when things seem to synchronize perfectly.

like today; i was driving to harris teeter, and the sunset was absolutely spectacular, and the song "dark blue" by jack's mannequin began to play on my ipod. it was perfection. in that one moment i felt like i could absolutely burst with happiness. i actually stopped in the middle of jonestown road to take a picture of the sunset. and now as i sit here and sip my starbucks, i wonder whether we really take enough time to stop and truely appreciate things. the sunsets that are so fascinating you can't help but stare; the times you laugh so hard you can't breathe, but you'd rather die lauhing than stop to breathe; the old frineds, the new friends, and all the memories that you look back on and just smile.

furthermore, sometimes i think about how everything that i've been throuh was timed exactly right. there was a girl i met soon after i moved to alabama. because she met me, she dared to be different, and because i met her, i dared to love God. because of the places i've lived, i've come into contact with every type of personality there is, and it's made me a fairly quick, fairly accurate judge of character. i used to wonder why on earth i was torn away from the places i loved, especially from alabama, but now i realize that i left at the perfect time. i was ready. i'd left my impact, and now i'm here to make my mark on north carolina.

cause that's the kind of girl i am, really.

the kind who's gonna change the world someday.
