God brings joy. God IS joy.

i shared my passion, purpose, and calling to a complete stranger.
the stranger asked where my passion came from and what compelled me to make so-and-so my passion..
i paused.
silence.
and then i asked, "... can i talk about God?"
to my reply, the stranger laughed and said, "yea!"
and afterwards, the conversation flowed very, very well.
and i was so happy.

the end.

counting down the days...

.. not really. i don't want to count down the days 'til i have to officially move out of sd :'(

it's already may!! ohhhhhhhmygoodness.

as much as i don't want to think about my last days in sd, i'm also really excited for this month's festivities!  let's see.. i'm flying to texas during my birthday weekend to attend a close friend's graduation, and my bff from connecticut will be joining me as well! (maybe i'll get to run into jeremy lin! and chandler parsons. and james harden. oh heck, any of them, haha) and 2 weeks after, i'll be meeting my bff again but this time, in the bahamas! i've never traveled so often and so spontaneously in my life! :)

i also have a list of things that i want to do before i leave sd, and a list of people i want to see before i say "see you later" to them. i still can't believe that after 8 years of basking in sd's beauty, i'll be leaving my second home. i feel like i'm growing up all over again, haha.
