So I’m currently in Seattle with my music group. So far it’s been pretty amazing. The food is fresh, the coffee tastes better and the weather is perfectly gloomy hence it is April. Though I’ve talked less this year during the tour, not in a bad way, it feels like I’m meditating about the things that are important in my life. I guess they are less people to talk too and less things to talk about. I’m sitting inside an auditorium listening to choirs and trying my hardest not to fall asleep, these events are long! Our choir is doing pretty well. If I wasn’t in the instrumental program I’d probably be in choir. Fun fact, I was in choir for a little bit in junior high, and I remember it being really fun. Music in general is fun for me, I absolutely love it, that’s why I do it. Even though I chose not to be in the program for my senior year, I’ve learned a lot. It took time to make the decision but it’s what I want and I’m happy with my decision. I’m growing up you guys! 16 going on 17! Exciting, I’m feeling good. You should only make yourself happy. Just yourself. There’s no doubt that I will still be playing music for enjoyment in the future.

My wonderlust has decreased because I’m in Seattle. Though I can’t stop thinking about going to Europe still.

I really want to teach myself how to edit traveling videos really cool. Like Casey Neistat or Ken Westrick.

Being away from my family really helps me self reflect and I feel myself slowly becoming more independent. I did have to call them to deposit more money from my account to my card but that’s about it. I do send them pictures of my adventures and they enjoy them thoroughly.

*In this Picture: I was inside Chihuly’s glass museum it was super impressive and not very crowded. Definitely go see it for an art enlightenment.*

I don’t know what being homesick is like. My mom says that you ACTUALLY get sick. Cough and all. Maybe I’m just adaptable. Who even knows. Life is crazy. Every decision counts! And it feels good to acknowledge that, because it means you have total control of your life. 🙂
