I want...
I want to start a blog. I'm going to start researching social media and such I think. I'll need to figure out my niche. 
Perhaps my life is interesting enough...

So often I find myself giving advice to people and them telling me I'm wise for my age. However, I have found that if I simply sit and listen, the person speaking talks through their problems and finds a solution much more effectively than I could. I have also been in situations where another is listening to me speak and I come to revelations by listening to what I'm thinking and have to say.
Knowledge speaks, but wisdom listens.

Jobs...I have options?!
Well now...
A week ago I was dead set on a life in Ireland. It was possible. It was going to happen. I'd chosen that as my path. Then, I got into Loyola University Chicago. After that, I got an interview with JVC Magis - okay, I'll follow-through. I'll do the interview. It's a chance to create a strong network in a great city, get a master's degree (for free) and work! Then came the job options.
I thought the job options I would have would not be very exciting. However, they're amazing! To work with young peoples and develop their faith! To help create a generation that cares for others!? Really!? A sort of dream! 
I've decided that, I can see myself being extremely happy either way .I see a true future in the US and in Eire. Luckily, the city of Chicago still has that Irish feeling and culture. That's the key, right? Happiness? If so, there we have it. I can see happiness being in my future. I see friends. I see proximity to loved ones. 
Yes, I have options. I'm okay with either choice. No, I'll be truly happy with either choice.

# 28 Giethoorn, Holland
Giethoorn is a village in the Dutch province of Overijssel. It is located in the municipality of Steenwijkerland, about 5 km southwest of Steenwijk.
Giethoorn used to be a carfree town known in the Netherlands as "Venice of the North"[1] or "Venice of the Netherlands".[2] It became locally famous, especially after 1958, when the Dutch film maker Bert Haanstra made his famous comedy "Fanfare" there. In the old part of the village, there were no roads (nowadays there is a cycling path), and all transport was done by water over one of the many canals. The lakes in Giethoorn were formed by peat unearthing.
Giethoorn was founded by fugitives from the Mediterranean region in around AD 1230.[3] Giethoorn was a separate municipality until 1973, when it became part of Brederwiede

#1: Moraine Lake, Canada
Moraine Lake is a glacially-fed lake in Banff National Park, 14 kilometres (8.7 mi) outside the Village of Lake Louise, Alberta, Canada. It is situated in the Valley of the Ten Peaks, at an elevation of approximately 6,183 feet (1,885 m). The lake has a surface area of .5 square kilometres (0.19 sq mi).
The lake, being glacially fed, does not reach its crest until mid to late June. When it is full, it reflects a distinct shade of blue. The color is due to the refraction of light off the rock flour deposited in the lake on a continual basis.

Enjoyment and Relaxation
It is so nice to have my best friend with me! To sit and laugh at the weird dreams we had the night before. To watch daytime television and simultaneously love and hate it. To just talk about how hungry we are and how watching the cooking talk show makes us even hungrier...and we don't care. To sit and not even talk, but having the other there is source of enjoyment and relaxation. 
Laughter. Way too much sleep. Food I don't get at home in Chicago. Best friend. Family. TV and Internet - 2 things I more or less cut myself off from. 
Vacation from my real life. No work. No clients. No CTA. Just me, my loved ones, and the couch. 
Enjoyment and Relaxation.
