Hate the sin, love the sinner -- Gandhi

Today has been a day. That is all that I have to say. It was good. and long. and sad. There are so many periods that I have to put on today. So many goodbyes. I wish that I could wisk all of my favorite people away to nevernever land. Where we would never grown old or be biten by big yucky bugs. I know that life evolves. Relationships change and with every new day comes a new lesson. But I will miss it here. I think that what I will really miss is taking the long way to work. Driving down those old country roads where the trees bow over the pavement as if granting me permission to set path on my journey. Giving shade to those weary travelers and concealing natures little treasure. I love fireflies.

My religious/spiritual life is too complicated for it's own good. I wonder if one day it will grow a body and mind of it's own. Leaving me a hollow yet seemingly less confused individual. I don't me to sound bitter or ungratful. I just wish that I could find the answers to my questions. Or at least a light down the right path.

Tomorrow my family and I are celebrating my 18th birthday. Are you ever so preoccupied while driving that once you reach your final destination you stop and wonder how you even arrived? That is kind of how I feel about the last five years. One every birthday since I was born really my life has been dramatically and shockingly different from the previous year. By me a camal and call me a nomad.
