euphoric moments.

Last weekend I drove up to Humboldt to see a potential grad school. Sometimes I wonder if I'm a robot. I really can't tell sometimes. Graduate school would mean more money.. But, I don't really need money. I'm happiest when I'm poor. But I know getting a masters would please my parents, and it might impress my friends or lovers. Haha. Elbert Park is a Master!  It has a nice ring to it. But really. Life is about choice. Vanilla or Chocolate. 

We were driving, and my friend slammed on the brakes. We almost hit a family of deer. Three to be exact. They looked our way, and just continued walking. We pulled over, and started following them. The quiet footsteps of the deer, I can only describe as euphoric and peaceful. They would occasionally shoot us a glance our way, and they continued walking. I think they just had dinner, and we taking a stroll. Graduate school, money, love, and robots were the last thing on my head. This experience was surreal, and utterly real at the same time. After about 7-8 minutes the deer turned left, and headed into the forest. I closed my eyes, and told myself I would never forget this moment. 

I have a choice. 

"Don't ask what what the world needs. Instead, ask what makes you come alive, And go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have truly come alive". 

I want to be alive. I had originally titled my blog 'the everyday', because I wanted to celebrate the small, beautiful things in life. To accentuate the everyday. To indulge in the small pleasures in life. Eating with friends, holding hands with lovers, crying when I am sad, and when I am happy.
