Starting out on a journey...

 My excitement is currently casing my mind to implode. why you may ask. it is actually rather simple! i am going on a backpacking tour of my favourite city ever. my hometown Jozi!!!

the plan is to go backpacking through the city, contrasting the horrendously poor slums with the sometimes disturbingly rich areas. but that is not just the point. it is a pilgrims walk over easter. a way to connect with yourself and a higher spiritual power. the point of the pilgrimage is to be a:
pilgrim, not a tourist.
learner, not a teacher.
listener, not a talker.
and a receiver not a giver.

as per usual we have to abide by a set of ruls:
don't complain.
if someone asks, give
if someone gives, receive
if you see a toilet use it (get rid of your physical, mental and emotional waste)
SLOW DOWN!!

i'm totally going to lose it with the last one. i rush everywhere. someone save me :)

And so with the words of one of my favourite songs i begin my journey...

life is a road that I want to keep going
Love is a river, I want to keep flowing
Life is a road, now and forever, wonderful journey
I'll be there when the world stops turning
I'll be there when the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you!!!!!


peace peeps ^_^

Time

ah, the one thing we NEVER have enough of.

i am permanently moaning that i am under too much pressure and that i don't have time to do everything that has to be done, all the projects i don't have time for, the tests i have to study for. and there is never enough time!

but to be absolutely honest, what would i do if i had that time. i would be bored out of my skull. blowing spitbubbles and wondering what my next blogupdate would be about. and to be honest (again), i think i perform better under that "crunch" pressure. and i'm sure most teenagers understand the point that i'm making. that adrenaline rush you have when you realise you still have a project you have to hand in the next day, or the speech you have to give tomorrow.

and i know that that is what i am. human, imperfect, busy and ultimately i am alive...

ooh and this is the part that you ignore cause it's boring. it's the part where i get all preachy (again...). At least when i'm so fucking busy, i don't do drugs, or sleep around or beat people up. i find a creative and energy taxing outlet so i'm not destructive :)

so now that that's dusted
on to the next project!!!
ME XD
