"You have a specific responsibility to existence, to God if you like, to taste, touch , and smell what there is to experience. You have to do everything. If given an option between doing something and not doing it, you have to do it; because you've already done the "not do it" part. This can be juvenile and dangerous, I realize, and there are a lot of things I have chosen not to do, for a million reasons."...."I don't take needless risks. The idea is to make it through intact; "safety" is my middle name. But I feel that you owe it to the world to be curious. Somebody asked me if I was looking for something. I am looking for everything."
-Sam Sheridan, "A Fighter's Heart"
I have felt these exact words this past year. In the chaos of summer school and trying to balance a million other things I lost sight of what Sam talks about. There is no middle for me..it's everything or nothing and this summer I felt that everything was too much. I even began to doubt going to Thailand in a way. After reading the first chapter of "A Fighter's Heart" I am confident in where I am and where I am going. I am doing exactly what I'm supposed to be doing with my life..
Everything.
