Life Alteration.

July 21, 2007 - The day that changed my life. 

      The people that know what this date means to me understand, and those that don't know shall never need to know. 

     What happened on this day I sometimes speak of, but the effect it had to me I rarely speak of. It was life changing and I always wonder what my life would be life if the actions that happened on that day never took place. Would I be who I am today? How would I be different, for surely I would have never learned the lessons that I did, if it were not for that day. My morals would be dramatically different, I feel. I would have never been as successful. Then again maybe I would be even more successful. 

     Many questions come to mind when I revisit the date of July 21, 2007, but there is one question that will forever be unanswered; Why?

Special Spot.

     Everyone has one, a place that we go to in order to escape reality. It’s our special spot. As children we used our creativity to take us to our spot. Wherever we were at ( i.e. the car seat, dinner table, at the store with mom) we could go to our spot in a blink of an eye and it would take us to the most miraculous places. Unfortunately, as we grew older we let our creativity boil down and pushed it to the back burner. Leading us to the need of creating a literal special spot.

     As a PA girl studying in Jersey I had to give up my “spot” back home in order to pursue my dreams. To those that know Jersey is nothing like PA’s small towns. Luckily, I was able to find a spot on campus that brought nostalgia of my “spot” to me. For even a slight second it allows me to break away from the business of the Jersey world and embrace the worry free aura it presents. I fret to tell anyone of it, for if they were to find out it may be polluted with other human bodies. So I changed the idea of it. It’s my secret special spot
