hello again!

Hi darlings. Man oh man has it been a while. I'm not really sure why i'm even writing this. Maybe it's because i'm home for a couple weeks and i automatically revert back to the life i had here. Maybe it's because a part of me wants that back. Maybe i still have that inside of me. Maybe i haven't changed after all. Maybe i have changed but can still manage to retain the Dillon that once was. i don't know honestly. So much has happened within the past year that my brain is just blah about some things. it's really confusing because you want something new but then you still crave what you once hd once you get the new stuff. aint that a sick joke. well nothing much has changed since i last wrote. that's a lie. but i just don't feel like listing all of them lol. woof. um, i've gone through a lot of spiritual overhaul this past school year. i mean obviously, moving across the country and away from the south. rough. but i love it there. it's incredible. everything i expected and more. it's just an intense transition. but ya know, i need this kind of testing. this kind of refinement. i was getting stagnant, i think. God knows what He's doin. So whatevs. Just trying to follow my dreams one day at a time. cheers to the freakin weekend.

UPDATEZZZ!

ramble some mo

I can feel good things coming this semester. I feel really comfortable with my schedule and with the activities im involved in. I'm so excited to spend time with all of the people i rarely saw last semester because of school. My first day of school has been pretty decent. I can't complain about either of the classes i had today :) I'm really looking forward to spending time with all of my fellow dancers (Sarah, Ashli, Kaileigh, and Nicole) and learn some really valuable technique.

Returning to school makes me miss my Brookie so much. So many things about this semester already feel weird because she's not at school with me anymore. Praying that God will give me comfort and opportunities to see her as often as possible.

been far too long

Hello my dears and dearies!

I haven't blogged ages. Mostly because i've been busy actually journaling and posting on tumblr. I just wanted to check in with all of you lovely people and update you on a few things in my life......cuz a LOT has happened!

1.) Goodbye Louisiana. This fall i will be moving to New York City to attend a Two-Year Musical Theatre Conservatory program at the American Musical and Dramatic Academy. This is a huge step in my life. At on point i was pursuing this by my own will. However, i stayed praying and turning to God for wisdom and discernment. And ya know what? He has opened this door for me. God is now allowing me to pursue my dream so that i can give Him all of the glory :)

2.) Dad and i have grown a lot closer sense my decision to move. Now each time we hang out it feels so much more meaningful. We cherish every minute that we have to hang out now and it's FA REALS making me happy!

3.) Summer and her boyfriend, of whom i wholeheartedly approve, are going strong! I'm pretty sure that they will be engaged fairly soon because they keep hinting about it ;) Jeremiah is very close to my entire family and i KNOW that i can trust him to always remain faithful to her.

4.) I've been doing pretty well with my quite time every morning. However i still have a lot of work to do especially since now i have a LOT to pray for! fa sho.

5.) One thing that i've always been thankful for is my wonderful group of friends that God has blessed me with. Granted, friends have come and gone since i've started college. But God has never left me without at least a handful of close friends to keep me accountable and lift me up. This past semester he blessed me with someone who has stolen my heart and has become my best friend in the entire world. She has risen above all of my expectations as a friend. Before i met her i never embraced who i was. I always hid behind what i thought people would accept about me. This girl tore down every barrier that i had placed in front of my true personality. She accepted the good, the bad, and the ugly. We pray for eachother, build each other up, laugh together, encourage each other, and have weekly chicken nugget nights :) I don't think i've ever cared more about a friend than i do about this girl, Brooke Elizabeth Bortnick. You can follow her blogspot at http://brookesbrainsays.blogspot.com/ or you can follow her tumblr at http://brookebortnick.tumblr.com/

here's a photo of our trip to NOLA for my AMDA audition :)

HIYAH!

hey guys. Sorry i haven't posted much lately. I've somewhat relocated to something a little different. I've been spending a lot of time physically journaling. No offense to any of you fine people, it's just that life has been so refreshingly different lately that i feel as if i would be too censored if i were to blog publically :)

Oh and also, a recent addiction of mine is TUMBLR. I got a tumblr blog a long time ago. But i've recently been spending a lot of time on it, reposting people's quotes and pictures! :D chech me out! http://onthewater2.tumblr.com/

Love you guys! PEACE!

Eat Pray Love

I just had one of the best Sunday afternoons ever. I got to spend the whole day with my mom and sister. We went to go see Eat Pray Love. The movie was incredible. I love to travel and see the different cultures of the world. After the movie we went to World Market, my new obsession. This place is incredible. They have all of this amazing stuff from around the world that are imported in bulk so they aren't so expensive. I could go soooo bankrupt in that store! In fact, i almost did! Haha!

Everyday i find myself more and more eager to see the world and experience it's range of personalities. I want to speak another language. I want to marvel at the taste of foreign cuisine. I want to look into the eyes of desolation. I want to stand where those who truly marveled at the stars stood. I want to be influenced. I want to really feel the history of a foreign land. I want to rejoice over someone else's delight. I want to get out of here.

Please go see this movie. Ignore some of the weird romantic details, though. It gets somewhat annoying.
