I guess it's time for me to start a more exploratory blog in addition to the little odds and ends of a journal I keep.

I'm still thinking on what to write about but in the end, I guess it's important just to write about something and keep on doing it in my life. Who knows, maybe it'll become something important to someone else as well, whatever that thing may be.

Connections. That's the first thing that comes to mind right now. At this point, I'm a student in limbo. I find that in all the years I've been a student though, I haven't tried hard enough to make connections with people. I think it was a way to protect myself but connections are important. They really are what changes you. It's a paradox too. You find so much different people but also, you can point out things that are universal. It's fun to think about it and muse over these similarities and differences.

As a student, I haven't done enough of the "student" role. I don't question out loud often enough. But I think it's essential now, especially in a rapidly globalizing world. It's difficult to raise enough voice and even harder still, to develop a voice you can call your own.
