We visited Dachau today where over 60,000 people lost their lives due to hunger, murder, and ruthless experiments. The saying on the gate "Arbeit Macht Frei", or work will make you free, was a lie these innocent people believed. They would never see freedom again, this concentration camp was their new life. I saw many pictures with workers smiling and working; maybe not fully understanding their destiny or maybe choosing to just accept it.

Move, travel, take a class, take a risk. There is a season for wildness and a season for settled-ness, and this is neither. This season is about becoming.

Who the heck am I?
Sticks and stones may break our bones, but words will break our hearts.
-Robert Fulghum
When I first titled this, I thought to myself, "this sounds like a blog posting about me not knowing who I am." Well partially, I guess it is; but moreover, it's probably closer to a blog posting about who I never want to be.
As the summer has progressed and I continue to go through the mundane activities that school beholds, I have begun to notice the person I have been. I suppose with ample time to sit around and think, a person can really get to know themselves, and honestly, I am terribly disappointed with my current self. Thats not me saying I have low self esteem, or I am not comfortable with myself; in fact, I might be a little over-zealous on the confidence factor. Yikes. But, I am terribly disappointed with how I have been treating others. Never in my life have I been a person that has taken pleasure in tearing another person down, because I know what that feels like. When I was a kid, specifically 1st-8th grade, I was constantly being picked on by other kids. Kids laughed at me and they called me names, my favorite being "Jolly Green Giant", as it was an accurate depiction of me in the 1st grade: 5 feet tall, 100 lbs, short curly hair, and a pinky sized gap to go with. I remember thinking how cruel kids could be and telling myself I would never treat anyone the way I was treated. Here I am, 21 years old, and can testify that not only can kids be brutal, but so can grown-ups. I know this because I have been one of those mean "grown-ups" lately.
It really hit me today, when my friends and I were in the library and I made a comment about a girl...(I'm too ashamed of what I said to even repeat it to my 1 follower who happens to be my best friend). This girl I know, and actually really enjoy being around, she's funny and painfully nice; basically, has never done a thing to me, or anyone for that matter, that would be remotely unfriendly. Yet, I chose to tear her apart. After making this comment and laughing briefly about it with my friends, there was this overwhelming remorse that took over me. Not the kind of remorse you got as a kid when you stole a cookie from the cookie jar before dinner, but the kind of remorse that makes you feel like dirt. Honestly, I deserved this remorse; it ate away at me all day, because I knew the hurt I would have caused this girl had she heard the comment. Who the heck had I become? A person who takes pleasure in another's pain. A person who's satisfaction only occurs at another's expense. A person who does not value the uniqueness of people. A person who does not understand the heart of the very life they claim to live.
A person who is not a person at all.
So this "discovery" of the person I have been lately has lead me to the "discovery" of the person I never want to be, which in turn has lead me to the "re-discovery" of who I hope to become: caring, joyful, consistent, reverent, without jealousy, understanding, and uplifting. If this is all I ever accomplish in life, then I will have lived life fully, and without regret. Life is a short thing, too short to be tearing others apart and losing sight of what really matters.
Today's thought progression has left me with this conclusion: people aren't perfect, they aren't supposed to be, and it's time to stop trying to fit different people into the same mold, and then blaming them for not fitting.
The Campaign: Will Ferrell (mainly the reason I want to see this; for those of you who understand my love for Will Ferrell), and Zach Galifianakis compete for office (obviously, hence the title), and they both have southern accents. Anytime a fake southern accent is involved, you know its gonna be a good time.
The Apparition: At first I was like "wait is that Tom Felton?", and then I realized it was, and decided that I, being a die hard Potter fan, would see this movie regardless of its quality. However, it looks to be a good scary movie; which I will watch in the daytime, because sleeping after watching this movie will not be a possibility. P.S: Tom Felton has brown hair in this. Weird.
The Watch: I solely want to watch this movie because of the hilarious casting: Vince Vaughn, Ben Stiller, and Jonah Hill. The movie itself is in the sci-fi/comedy/action genre. There are aliens, laser guns, kids being interrogated, stuff being blown up, and Ben Stiller. Something tells me I will probably laugh the whole time.
