There’s something about being alive that is just so amazing! You’re thinking….duh Natalie…we’re all alive woohoo so exciting ;) but really. Think about it. I haven’t thought about it in a really long time. But then I got pneumonia and was lying at the top of the steps begging my mom to just kill me, and God to just let me die. Good times J then when being on an antibiotic and breathing treatment for three more days I was STILL stuck in bed. Half way through the day my mom and I were lying there, listening to Little Women on CD (which was pretty fun) and I turned to her and said “are we really going to do this? Tomorrow? And the next day?” (and then I proceeded to just start yelling for no reason..being sick can do weird things to you) I then proceeded to say how I hated being stuck in the bed, which grew into how I hate being stuck in Delaware, and how I just want to leave and be somebody else. Pretty much one of the most depressing days of my life yes. Honestly though, I’m glad I got sick. I think God might have been waking me up. For so long I’ve been complaining about how I’m never going to be famous or get to do anything awesome because I’m stuck here being Natalie. My life has kind of been turning into a get through each day and try and make it to the next. My attitude was pretty much a boring, dull, who cares cares kind of attitude, even way before I got sick. I was just getting worn out and sick of life. I think God was like GET SOME REST GIRL. I didn’t listen. Hence the pneumonia J The day I was FINALLY able to leave the house I felt like I was in a whole new world J When I got to bible-study I just sat there and listened to all the people that I care about so much, and thought about how I’ve really been taking them all for granted. When Kati Davis literally crashed into me for a hug I realized how lucky I am to have her for a best friend <3. I taught the next two days at GCA and LCA and thought about how I’m so lucky to have such a big impact on my 13 students, and how I’m lucky to have any students at all. I’m doing what I’ve wanted to do since I was five, be a violin teacher! On my wall at home I have a quote board with some of my favorite quotes. It’s been a long time since I’ve actually read those quotes. I’d been thinking that all those dreams I have will never come true because I’m stuck here. But then I realized that people don’t just get what they want by thinking about it! Here are some of my quotes:

“All our dreams can come true IF we have the courage to pursue them” ~Walt Disney <3 (side note, I love Walt Disney…he’s the best)

“It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are” ~E. Cummings

“If you want to make your dreams come true, the first thing you have to do is wake up.”  ~J.M. Power (wow much?! Totally my quote!)

“Shoot for the moon! Even if you miss you’ll land among the stars” ~Les Brown

“You can make whatever you want out of YOUR life, but first you have to not be afraid to try.”

“Excellence is not a skill. It’s an attitude.”

“You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes You can steer yourself in any direction you choose. You're on your own. And you know what you know. You are the guy who'll decide where to go.”
~Dr. Seuss

“It's not who you are that holds you back, it's who you think you're not.”  ~Author Unknown

 “If you only do what you know you can do- you never do very much.” ~Author Unknown

“Even if you’re on the right track, you’ll get run over if you just sit there” ~Will Rogers

"You're off to Great Places!  Today is your day!  Your mountain is waiting,  So... get on your way!"
— Dr. Seuss (Oh, the Places You'll Go!)

"Only you can control your future."  ~Dr. Seuss

I have to go out there and get my dreams! I can’t just sit here and expect someone to give them to me on a silver platter. And if I can’t get them right now, I’m mine as well get ready for them. “Forgetting” to practice violin everyday, getting through lessons just because I can sight read really well…that’s not going to get me into the Philadelphia orchestra, or the Hollywood studios orchestra now is it?! Another quote I have is “My life is my message” ~Gandhi. What messages have I been sending to people with my life?

I guess it’s better to learn late then never J I can tell you this. I’m learning, and I’m changing. Well I gotta go now. I’m gonna go out there and get my dreams  :)

P.s here are the rest of my quotes if you’re interested J

“You were born an original, don’t die a copy”

“When you feel like giving up remember why you held on so long in the first place”

“Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who matter don’t mind, and those who mind don’t matter.” ~Dr. Seuss

“Don’t cry because it’s over, Smile because it happenedJ” ~Dr. Seuss

“Meeting you was fate, becoming friends with was a choice, but falling in love with you was beyond my control”

My all time favorite quote in the whole world:

“Pooh,” said piglet. “Yes piglet?” said pooh “Nothing, I just wanted to be sure of you.”
