I can make the rain stop if I wanna,
Just by my attitude.
I can take my laptop, record a snapshot, and change a point-of-view.
I go where life takes me, but some days it makes me wanna change my direction.
Sometimes it gets lonely, but I know that it's only, a matter of my perception.
I just entered this brand new world, and I'm so open-hearted.
I know I got a long way to go but I'm-I'm just getting started.
I'm over my head and I know it, I know it.
I'm doing my best not to show it, to show it.
Whatever it takes to be what I was meant to be, I'm gonna try.
'Cause I'm living the dream and I know it, I know it.
I'm trying my best not to blow it, to blow it.
& I know everything will be fine with me, myself, and time.
And baby, there's nothing like this moment.
To just be real and let the truth be spoken.
Whatever's broke I can make it unbroken.
Turn the lead in my head into something golden.
If I just try more love.
If I just try more love.
Then I'll find myself in time.

In ASL class today, we were grouped in pairs to practice signing directions. One person says she "needs" an object or item of some sort and the other tells her where she can find it.
After going through the vocabulary list, my partner came up with: "I need a bear," to which I replied, "Over there. In the trees." I asked her what other vocabulary words did we learn for me to pretend "needing" and she signed, "Baby?"
I quickly replied, "No thank you," thought for a bit, then jokingly signed, "I need a man."
It took her a couple seconds to understand, but then laughed and quickly signed, "Same, me too." I asked her where I could find one and she raised her eyebrows and pointed to the guys in the class and I said, "No thank you." She nodded in agreement and we spent the rest of the time laughing at our foolishness.
LOL, today was fun. (:

Pause
"What are you struggling with the most in your life right now?"
^ Imagine if you were just sitting outside of a restaurant and suddenly someone approached you with this question. Unexpected, much? I thought Jack Cheng handled it pretty well though.
Initially, my answer was self-identity. Who I was, who I want to be, who I am. Then I thought harder and realized right now my biggest struggle is getting my priorities straight. I know what my priorities are but like how saying and doing are two completely different things, carrying out my priorities is a different story. I'd like to say I'm doing better this quarter, but still not good enough. (LOL, & here I am blogging. Haha, nah, blogging is not on my list of priorities at the moment; I just needed to talk. 'Cause y'know, sometimes... that's all you really need to do. Talk.)
But as Na used to say, "Got a problem? Solve it."
How? Workin' on that. Motivation and inspiration.
On a side note, I've asked several different people this question and each one had their very own unique answer. I guess, to me, it's just nice sometimes to be given an opportunity to reflect on your life because I feel like we're all so rushed in our everyday lives that each day reduces to nothing but a blur and everything is just so mechanic and robotic. It's nice to just enjoy the now. Figure out who you've become. Appreciate all you've been through. Prepare for the future. Don't overthink; just reflect for a bit like I am now while writing this blog. (:
