true savior

once again, as i mentioned last year and early this year - things will move in the summer. summer seems to be the time when new opportunities arise. can we take advantage of them? i should hope so. will it be a long and difficult path? absolutely. how do we even know that we're getting anywhere? we don't. all we can do is keep moving forward and trying hard every day.

speaking with a brother of mine, we agreed that if we're going to have to face the end of the world in 2012, it shouldn't be on HI. if we're going to end up failing due to some horrible, natural disaster, then i want it to be known that at least i died trying. i want it to be known that at least i didn't die scraping and wasting away in mediocrity.

i'm going to test myself on a higher stage. so far, the trials have already begun - i am as far as can be in terms of mentors and supporters. however, that is merely a small roadblock. i know that i can do so much more than just this, so i have to keep moving forward. i have to keep trying.

the vacation is still on, though. business before pleasure, but when it's time for pleasure, it's time for pleasure. we have about 2 and a half months until we depart for the motherland. i'm excited, but i'm sure i'm not the only one.
