Basically, the only things that have immediately come to mind are:
-finding out that I got accepted to go to France for a year
-a certain comment from a best friend that had completely thrown me off guard/made me reflect a lot about myself
-when I was younger and being called a "teacher's pet" pretty harshly by a best friend (don't laugh)/ being known or called "perfect"/being blatantly called a "poster child" by an admissions lady/being called really egotistical. yeah. these kind of all come together.
-discovering the pleasant feeling of an espresso after a large meal in the afternoon
-tasting a fig
-eating oatmeal (in france)
-when i found out the "power" of writing/that i enjoyed it
-realizing that me being able to speak german was actually kinda cool/helpful (serving as an interpreter)
-growing up with a german background/mother/family
-walking through the streets of new delhi, india
-meeting my friend Emory from Taiwan
-really finding out about what my mom had been through with my dad (prob not this one though...little too intense/personal i think)
-finding out that i actually do like to know things
-enjoying meeting new ppl/being outgoing/smiling 24/7 (in France)
-discovering the world beyond telluride/ traveling and deciding on my own/ responsibility
-realizing i can't control people's actions/ideas (in relation environmental sustainabilyt mostly), yet I can just do what i do/ try to encourage ppl instead of getting pissed off at certain things that some ppl can't see
-growing up as independent
ok woa. i'm just brainstorming right now, throwing out a lot of ideas. need help, narrow them down/suggest another one please!
the discovery of your love/thirst for knowledge could be really cool, and have all sorts of applications, like being in France & experiencing new things, learning about "environmental problems", learnin to view yourself critically, but also supportively/not negatively.
ReplyDeleteTalking about your affinity for languages woud also suit you well I believe,
love the espresso idea tambien!
Charlotte,
ReplyDeleteWow, talk about an embarrassment of riches--too many ideas here to process in this post (let's talk), but I will say that the concrete, discrete ideas (eating a fig, walking the streets of new Delhi, eating oatmeal (what's with all this food? you must be hungry!) or serving as an interpreter seem the most promising.
hahaha, alright, we'll talk. (as far as all of the food-> idk, i guess it's just something that i'm passioned by/take notice to)
ReplyDeleteoh and thanks kelso!
