"Enjoy it."
"Be an active participant in your life."
"Take risks."
I want to live more than I have been living. I want to not be afraid of doing things that aren't typical. I am tired of just following some unwritten code for what is acceptable for my life- high school, summer jobs, college, career. I want to not be afraid to do what I want.
I am going to Guatemala this January.
I flung myself across monkey bars Saturday, just to see if I could.
I am looking into an internship this summer to teach English overseas.
I made myself keep someone airborne on the teeter-totter for 2 minutes.
I really want to dye some of my hair blue.
Someday, I will hang glide.
Someday, I will see sequoia trees.
Someday, I will see Death Valley.
I will not just sit around Central Illinois all my life.
I will not wait until I am married to have someone encourage me to do the things I want to do.
I am encouraged now.

!DO IT!
you might want to dye your hair instead of die it.
:~) Thanks.
Sequoias and death valley sound a little Donald Miller inspired. And I'm with Betsye. Oh, and I said die it, don't dye it. Dying it is too typical ;o)
