An examined life....

Here it is almost May and I have yet to post...
April has been a great month for me, so many epic moments.

Here is a list
1. Met/ touched Max Bemis
2. Say anything concert
3. Some really amazing hang out sessions
4. Neon trees concert
5. Foodsploring
6. I won a sketch book and metal sharpie from blick (thanks Mira)
7. Decided I wanted to start taking art classes.
8. Got my first interview under my belt.
9. Discovered something about what I want out of life.
10. Learned to play darts
11. I've been really inspired artistically

This is just a small list, I'm sure I'm leaving things out. Oh, like trying creme brûlée for the first time.
I feel like this year so far has been leading me to a point in my life where I'm discovering what I want.

It's funny I was making pasta from scratch the other night and my mother walked into the kitchen, looked around then at me and said "Do you have to have your hand in everything?" the answer was out of my mouth before I really thought about it. "Yes"
A few days later after thinking about what my response I realized how true my answer really was.
I brought it up again with my mother, we were in the car and a song she dedicated to me on my sweet sixteen came on the radio, I hope you dance, it's all about living your life to the fullest. I didn't realize that's what I was doing. She said "It's like you have to have every bite of the pie" she's right. I want to do everything, try everything, learn everything. I don't want to miss out on a single life experience.

The unexamined life is not worth living. - Socrates

I plan on living the rest of my life to its fullest, you only live once, right.
