patience is a virtue

“If people are sending out negative energy and not meeting your expectations, it is important to send them unconditional love. They are simply being themselves, doing the best they know how. You will find great inner peace when you do not need others to act in a certain way to be happy yourself. When you send someone unconditional love, it is no longer possible for you to be harmed by his or her negative energy.” –Orin 

SEA FEVER

I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,

And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by,

And the wheel's kick and the wind's song and the white sail's shaking,

And a grey mist on the sea's face, and a grey dawn breaking.

I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide

Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;

And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,

And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying.

I must go down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life,

To the gull's way and the whale's way, where the wind's like a whetted knife;

And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover,

And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick's over.

–John Masefield

This will always be my favorite poem, no matter what. My father would always say this poem when we went surfing together early in the summer morning.

 It triggers the happiest times in my life.

June

This is one of the most gorgeous months of the year and I am so stressed with exams.

It usually always goes by very fast though!

I'm also kind of worried about prom and not looking that great, or fitting in with the grade older than me (I am going with my friend a year older than me)

I want to improve as much as I can before June 20th, while passing all my exams.

Happy Birthday Marilyn!
