Your life - Your story

I'm going to be deep again.
The inspiration I'm feeling right now is almost tangible, it's like an aura of excitement.

I love learning, period. There is no better feeling in the world than feeling smart.
No words can describe how happy I am that I decided to continue my studies, and that's all thanks to my parents. Not many people know this, but I was only about 50% sure about going back this fall..
But now I'm here, and I have no doubt that Antioch was the right decision for me.

Life is amazing. Do you know that?
You might think; "Well, YOUR life is amazing Malena, because you live in Santa Barbara, with no care in the world" " I'm just here going to work 5 days a week... in grey weather... feeling depressed...relationship issues...tired, bored, etc etc".

I'm here to tell you that what your life looks like is up to you to decide.
And here you go again, thinking; "It's not that easy! I have an apartment, I have a job I can't leave, my spouse needs me, I can't live without this and that..etc etc".

You know what? Anything is possible, because if there's a will, there's a way. 
It's about what you dream about, but it's also about the steps you need to take in order to pursue that dream. Are you willing to make the changes you need to do in order to live happily and carefree?
Think about it. It's up to you.
I have made sacrifices, trust me.

I was super excited this morning because I got to go to school. I have Thursday-Sunday off (I study all the time though) but I like having duties during the days, so Monday - Wednesday are the best days of the week. I love studying in between classes too, at some cafe. Look at people, smile at them and daydream a little.

Ellen and I went up the tower in Santa Barbara court house yesterday! That only took me about 3 years haha. Can't believe I used to live on Anapamu and pass it every day, but never went up to see the view!  I'm really glad we went up there, it was pretty awesome.
