adventure

my first saturday in DC in pictures:

lunch.

dinner.

jumbo size pizza.

the stories behind these photos are priceless. i literally have never laughed so hard ALL DAY LONG. there is something special about being friends with people who are very similar to you. obviously i get along with all of my friends, they wouldn’t be my friends otherwise. but i get along with different people because they appeal to my different interests. i dont really know how to explain this, but bottom line i love when they make me laugh. and laugh hard. and laughing means im happy, and boy do i love being happy.

show me your world

i have never fallen in love with a city before. nyc doesn’t do it for me, so i denied myself exposure to any other city…until now. DC is so different from any place i’ve ever been. i look around at the buildings, the monuments, the people, the parks and benches, the open roads for cryin out loud and i can’t. stop. smiling. that’s a sign to me that my path is gonna take me to this city. 

we toured all day today and got to hear from 3 different professionals within the executive branch of the federal government. 

that’s the Eisenhower Executive Office Buidling. (photo cred to my girl kelsey shultz) it is right next to this lovely place called the WHITE HOUSE.

anyways, the EEOB is SO MASSIVE and so so gorgeous. the architecture in this city is blowing my mind. when i look at the capitol, supreme court, white house, and the eeob, i feel like im looking at history. im looking at america at it’s core. my purpose in life is to be in this field. policy. politics. change. i feel it in me, it resonates so highly with me. 

premonitions like these, like i feel everyday in this place serve as a RED ALERT in my vision for my future. i’m meant to do this stuff. and i can’t wait to see where i will go. so many things to do, and all of my life to do it.

FATE

hahahhahaaha you’ve got to be kidding me. 30 seconds after i posted my venting about fate and following my dreams, my horoscope said this:

#Capricorn does not like dreamers who talk about their dreams but never put them into action.

FATE

fate will run its course

i know i’ve already posted about dreams and that we should all follow ours, but i really mean it (so much that i’m gonna talk about it again)

i dont know if this is how it is in all professions, but in politics people aren’t just magically given their dream job. you have to work for it from the ground up. and that is definitely something i’m going to have to accept and just roll with.

but i heard first hand today from real people that they have been given the opportunity to have that dream job. the stars aligned for them, and at the right place and time fate worked out in their favor.

one woman never thought she’d be working in the white house at age 33….that’s SO insane. i see myself running a project/organization as an administrator…i see myself being a motivational speaker one day….these dreams aren’t impossible. nobody’s are.

fate will run it’s course. we just have to trust that it does infact exist and that we will achieve all of our wildest dreams some day. maybe not today, but that’s okay. because the experiences that happen in between today and the future are what make life so rich and beautiful.
