There’s absolutely nothing so painful to me right now than being in a place that has cold winters. Yes, Louisiana isn’t much of a wintery state but I promise it does have its’ crazy winter seasons, like this one. For two years straight it has snowed in Louisiana, which as long as I’ve bee

n alive hasn’t happened without at least a 10 year gap in between. This year not only are we getting snow but also more rain than we have seen since 1994, which back then was about 21 inches in the month of November. Here we are in 2009 not even through with the whole year and we are already at 35 inches! Whats so crazy to me is, whenever Summer comes around I’m so ready to get out of this coldness only to be tortured by another 5 or 6 months with 100% humidity and almost 100 degree weather. Just because its basically torture to spend winters down here doesn’t mean we get a break for the Summer. Although I will admit that I would much rather walk outside to smoke a cigarette while its 80 outside, I still find myself getting really excited about Fall coming when those first leaves drop and it isn’t so humid outside. When I’ve been drenched in sweat all Summer there’s nothing like that first bit of a breeze come in but that doesn’t last long. I always forget that in just a few months I’ll be walking outside with 2 pairs of pants on and shrimp boots putting sand bags around my house so it doens’t take off into the Gulf, but do I really dislike Winter?

Waking up this morning was not very fun. Lately I’ve been craving a new life more and more with each passing minute. I guess taking that trip to Tampa during the weekend wasn’t so much a good idea as it seemed in the first place because for one thing I knew I had to come back home. It’s Monday now and all I can think about are how much my days are going to be better when I leave this place. Im 23 years old now and I just feel myself getting more and more anxious to just have some excitement for once in my life. You would think because I live in Louisiana close to New Orleans I wouldn’t have it so bad but honestly, I can’t stand New Orleans. My whole purpose for wanting to get out and start something new is to do exactly that, find my purpose. Everyday I think about this, and it’s gotten much worse since going to Florida and actually experiencing what there is to come. I do know one thing though, I will get there and I will accomplish all my dreams and much more but the number one thing is…Happiness.
