I will write a quick response to Mox because I know Miekes will be anxiously awaiting to write away. (Proper English?)
Current dot: Seattle, WA where I currently attend Seattle Pacific University. My dot tends to go to cool places in the area like U-District, Downtown, and Ballard.
Past dots: Orange County, CA; Nizhnii Novgorod, Russia; Paris, France; London, England; Saint Petersburg, Russia; Regensburg, Germany; Luxembourg, Luxembourg; Prague, Czech Republic; Dresden, Germany; Den Haague, Netherlands; Moscow, Russia; Amsterdam, Netherlands; Edinburgh, Scotland.
Future dots: Uncertain. Possibly as far away as Croatia or as close as John Island off the Washington Coast. The possibilities are endless.
Really, truly, fellow dotters... The possibilities are endless. And I believe that is why I'm so overwhelmed with all the possibilities. The world is at our fingertips. We can travel anywhere. Do anything. The choices we make now will forever mold and shape our lives. This is a terrifying thought. We are quickly approaching a time in which decisions shape the life we will laugh (or cry) about when we're old. We must not have regrets. We must live life to the fullest. We must soak up the beauty all around us, or we're sure to miss it. Once we graduate University, we will be bombarded with choices that we can never change. We will never have this time back in our lives. This is our last measurement of time in University. Starting in March or May or whenever we graduate... we will forever be reminiscent of this time in our lives. There is no going back; no time can ever be retrieved or returned. Only memories can be retrieved from the past. And now, the present will quickly be the past. And then what do we have left but an abundant of possibilities? Oh how overwhelming the possibilities are. And yet how gloriously wonderful that we have such an opportunity to live such a free life filled with these possibilities. We are free to live life as we please. We have choices. And as overwhelming as these choices as, we must be thankful for the abundance of blessings in our lives. Food in the tummies, shelters over our heads, a warm place to sleep at night. Thank you. How will I ever be able to express my gratitude for all the blessings in my life? I want to give back. I want to help. I want to live my life in a way that benefits others. I want my life to matter. I want a life that I can look back on with a smile on my face when I'm one hundred and two. How to live my life in such a way? I'm not quite sure, but I hope that this blogging will help me discover my place in life... Or perhaps the small speck of dust on this plant; my small dot in this world.
Love from Seattle.
