Bursting.

I feel like I am bursting at the seams with excitement and joy and thoughts and things to be passionate about and all sorts of good things. Somehow this last week has just been one that keeps building. Nothing extraordinary has happened, I just feel right, you know?! Which is interesting because part of it comes from the harsh reminder last week in Quang Ngai that the world can be a ugly and painful place for so many of the people that live in it. It was a vital reminder, one that breaks my heart but also points to the things that I want to be about: hope and passion and the belief that things can be different, the world can change, hope exists in the midst of even the harshest realties. Young and idealist? Without a doubt. But you know what, I kind of love it about myself.
