{ living with my head in the clouds }

Honestly, if I could drop out of high school, I would. I just hate being cooped up in a classroom knowing that I could be doing other things, more amazing things. But..that's obviously not an option. I just have to remind myself daily how blessed I am to get such a great education. However, I'm not sure I want to go to university. I only live once, and I want to live my life to the full. Enjoying each and everyday, praising God with everything I do. Some may say I'm a dreamer, but I truly just want to live life loving and enjoying what I do. It'll probably be another three or four years till my life adventure actually begins, but until then I just daydream :). So..what do I want to do? {keep in mind these are just dreams} Go to bible school for a year, or six months. Comeback and work for a year- not Mcdonalds haha. Starbucks maybe? Save all that money and go backpacking through Europe for a month or two, just taking pictures. Get immersed in the culture through my lense. Sit in quaint coffee shops, journaling. Stay in hostels, have nothing but the things on my back. Wear out my favorite pair of boots, take my time pondering art in the galleries of France for hours. Go on a missions trip to Africa or South America, wherever God leads me. All the while, capturing the culture through the lens of my camera and pleasing God. Short or long term missions? Not sure. Depends on the path God has chosen for me. It makes me happy to think about all of that :) in the meantime, I'll just keep daydreaming...
