I tend to have an opinion on everything and often miss the peace that comes from the small quiets in life… those moments that you can never get back because you interrupted them with noise or incessant chatter. You also learn a lot about people by not speaking. They tend to reveal their true selves to you if you let them. I knew this as a child. I wonder why I forgot…

yet adventurous- I am about to sell my car in a couple of weeks and start riding a bicycle and walking everywhere. It is slightly eccentirc in some people’s eyes, but I don’t care. I will be saving money, exercising and leat two times a day, and doing my part to improve the environment.
You know, I’ve done this about 4 times this year, minus my student loan debt, but I run it back up in no time. My debt is not ven overwhelming, only about $3000 in total, minus the loanns, but I am 23 and would like to start saving to buy a house and go into real estate by the time I’m 25. This next month I am seriously cutting off most everything except neccessities for a few months so i can save. I’m even selling my car and starting to ride a bike to save. I’ll keep eveyone updated:)
