What is there to say...I take great pleasure in simple things. I prefer a good cup of coffee coupled with a warm conversation to almost anything. I feel very lucky - I have an amazing son, Jaden, a daily reminder of how wonderful life and family can be. I have a great family - yeah, they're a little neurotic, and disfunctional, but it works. I couldn't be who I am today without them. I can count my true friends on one hand - and that is enough for me. It's been so amazing to grow with them, as we all begin our lives, and accomplish our goals, and reach new milestones. I can still remember being just kids - sometimes I still feel like one! I have a job that I am loving, and very thankful to have. I am learning new things daily, and I am met with amazing opportunities. I still don't know what I will be doing in ten or fifteen years... I want to go back to school to study public affairs and Latin American studies. I would love to work in the public sector for the government or for a multilateral institution in an economic or social policy capacity. I am insatiably interested in other cultures - especially Latin America - and learning new languages, and meeting new people. I think it could do us all some good to learn something every day about someone else - more people would realize that they are not as different as they think. That is my dream, but my roots are in Austin, and it will be some time before I will ever be able to leave it. I am fine with that. I could not ask for more gifts than I have right now. I am happy with who I am, with who I am becoming. I am content with not knowing what exactly the future holds for me. I suspect it's already been planned out anyhow, and I just have to live as truly and as purely as I can, and it will all come to fruition.
One more thing: I have finally remembered what it means not to settle. Not for mediocrity, not in life. It has reopened my eyes to so many possibilities, and imminent certainties.
