Kaskade breathed new life into me last night. It was such a purifying experience, as if it was just me and him chilling in the confession booth. There's always a sense of "rebirth" when I go to these things, but for some reason last night my connection with the music ran deeper than usual. It didn't just teach me a life lesson; I sort of became the lesson while experiencing the music at that moment. (Imagine this for a second, music as the greatest teacher without words, the third eye chakra we try to develop in ourselves as we mature..) The lesson was this: everything inside you can build and build until it reaches a point where you HAVE to release in order to get rid of that tension and anxiety that comes with the build up. Hold, release, hold, release. Life is a stream of energy colliding and subsiding, learning when to hold on and let go becomes essential to the pursuit (maybe chase?) of happiness..
On that note, I think I need to accept the fact that this "scene" really isn't just a "phase" but a very fundamental part of who I am. And that is kind of a scary thought for the direction my life is heading. The signs on the road say: GROW UP KIM! Make better decisions! But my soul says: JUST BE. Just one of the many contradictions my mind (as I'm sure yours) battles with daily...

I'm sorry blogspot, I don't know why I was entertaining the idea of betraying my loyalty to you to succumb to the powers of tumblr. You have comforted me through the gut wrenching twists and turns of life's rollercoaster and I can't thank you enough. With that said, I come back to enjoy your love!
I realized I need to get into the habit of developing my ideas rather than letting them marinate in my brain. I'm going to put forth my best effort and write in here at least once a week.

I realize school isn't for everyone. Just like religion isn't for everyone; to each his own. But you know how some people get a runner's high? I can honestly say I get a learners high. I thoroughly ENJOY anything and everything about the process of learning: the classroom experience (which in law school, is an entirely different learning experience from undergrad), the collaboration with other people who are learning, and the long hours of reading on my own. I honestly get excited about everything I read because it's an opportunity to feed my brain. And my brain is always hungry! Today I was eating a kiwi in class and my friend asked "don't kiwis have a high concentration of vitamin C, more than oranges?" and I replied "hmm, I'm not sure, but let's find out on wiki..."
Come to find out, kiwi's ARE a rich source of vitamin C! :) In that moment I just remember feeling a great sense of peace and satisfaction and I can't really tell you why. Maybe a satisfaction of knowing what was otherwise unknown? I don't know, but I truly live for moments like these.
