First post! Let me tell you about myself first. My name is Rachel, and I'm in love with my friends. After moving six times, you really come to appreciate your group of friends and the bonds you share. I'm definitely very close with all of my friends, more so than friends from any other state. That's why without them, my heart would stop. I'm also in love with music, preferably alternative rock/pop. If I had to pick, the top three artists/bands I listen to constantly is Adam Lambert, Neon Trees.... and oh god it's so hard to pick just three! My third would have to be Jer Coons. I also have been playing piano for four years and guitar for two. Besides music though, I participate in fencing and track.
So just recently I had a sleepover with some close friends of mine. We happened to have one conversation particularly deep. First we talked about quantum physics and what it is. My one friend described it as the study of the mind and the brain, to which I responded, "Aren't they the same thing?". It turns out that scientists are studying the two things separately. It was a long conversation, and I was easily confused. I am a mathematical person. There is always a problem, and one right solution, the answer to what 'x' equals. But with science, you hypothesize, there are theories, different results, etc. Another topic we discussed was the universe. When you think about.... how big is the universe really? Our sun looks big, yet there are other stars out there 1,000 times bigger! And trying to comprehend just how big the universe is.... does it ever end? It just isn't understandable, maybe because there is nothing on earth big enough to compare to the size of the universe which is why we can't comprehend it.
On another note, this past Friday was rough. A student at our high school committed suicide the day before at his house by hanging. Our school was silent, as the realization sunk in. Many people had mixed feelings. Some knew the kid well and were seen crying, others just sat in silence, while others had the nerve to be disrespectful enough to go, "Did you hear about the stupid kid that offed himself?". There was a memorial service held in the morning outside the school to remember the student.
The school year is winding down, and all I can think about is the upcoming summer. Every year I say to myself, "Rachel, this is going to be the best summer of your life!" as I try to think of all the fun things I can do. Yet every year, I find myself sitting on the couch watching TV or glued to the computer. My goal this year is to be creative, write a story, go on an adventure. Anything other than sitting in front of the TV watching mind numbing crap. My friends and I are planning to buy a Slip n' Slide to help pass the summer. My mom also just recently bought tickets for me and my friend to go see Adam Lambert this summer on his Glam Nation Tour! I've been spazzing for the past week.
I've been feeling inspired recently. I was sitting in my room on my laptop and I just got this burst of inspiration, either to start this blog, write or song/book, whatever it is. That's why I titled this entry "There Are No Boundaries". It actually comes from the chorus of an Adam Lambert song called "No Boundaries" and it goes "With every step you climb another mountain/with every breath it's harder to believe/you'll make it through the pain/weather the hurricanes/to get to that one thing/just when you think the road is going no where/when you almost gave up on your dreams/they take you by the hand/and show you that you can/there are no boundaries." Just listening to the song raises my spirits, but one thing I've always wondered is who is "they"? Who takes you by the hand? I guess it's left up to the listener. To me I imagine it being my true friends, as they are always there for me.
That's it for now, thanks for checking out my blog.
Rachel - Je T'aime
