Change, something that we all must experince. I had realized this when I moved for the first time. Living in California, and then in Colorado would be the beginning of the journey I make, to find who I am. Change can define us, it can help us discover ourselves. Things happen for a reason, and the journey we take makes us who we are. Where has your journey begun?

**What is a journey?**

That horrible moment of self-recognition everything is on the table. You can live your whole life And never know who you are Never really think about what is beyond Until you see the world Through the eyes of others Outcasts of all outcasts That open their eyes to the world that remains a blur to others.



A state of peace, quiet, ease, calm, or contentment are important to everyday life Images of things unimaginable power that can take you through a journey through your heart and soul. Temperance first, as it tends to procure that coolness and clearness of head. Eat not to dullness; drink not to elevation
