The Point of No Return

*Random thought of the Day: "It is our choices that show what we truly are, for more than our abilities." ~J.K. Rowling(Harry Potter series author)
We all have talents and abilities. But we all have to try to make the best choices that we can, to get to who we truly are or are becoming. It's not as simple as it may appear. Especially since the phrase 'who we are' is kind of broad if you really think about it. But the main idea of this quote, is make the right choices that are best for YOU. Not anyone else, YOU! This is where we are allowed to be selfish(: Only you and the Lord know what's best for you. Even if it's not entirely the direction you think you want to go, you have to do whats good and what's right. Only then will your abilities fall into their proper place. The End.*

Well, as you can see, my title is the POINT OF NO RETURN. Well, I guess it's kind of ironic that I just so happened to have the amazing experience of seeing Phantom of the Opera, the broadway show LIVE last weekend! IT.... WAS.... AMAZING! Wowzers! I love that show and the cast was excellent! Ok, the guy who played Raul, kinda sucked I must say. He could sing no doubt, but his acting-not so much. Maybe I just finally have found the annoyance in his character all together, but he really was annoying at the show. The Phantom however, as well as Christine, had BEAUTIFUL voices! It was so good. It's probably still not my favorite show that i've seen, Wicked tops them all, but it was still pretty awesome! I went with my friend Jason, and mom and Duane also joined us. They even treated us to Olive Garden before the show(: Fun stuff! I also added to my collection of other posters from the other 2 shows I've seen and got a Phantom poster of course! It fits nicely on my wall(:

Thanksgiving was of course this past week. I joined my family, Aunt Kathi and her family, and Uncle Kris and Aunt Jessica even came for Thanksgiving day with their cute little kids! It was fun and rather relaxing! We had some fun with the game "Curses" of course(:....

It was fun hanging out with my cousin Sheree, and playing with my adorable little cousin Avery(:

We also took a little walk/hike at the bottom of the Catalina Mountains in Tuscon, near my grandma's house. It was nice to get out and be active.

The same day, we also went and saw one of the best movies I think ever made! "THE BLIND SIDE". SO SO good!!! Based on a true story and starring Sandra Bullock. Wow. She can play any part it any movie. I loved it-I reccomend it to everyone! The food of course was all amazing! I love the fact that after working out 3 times a week, I can come and eat all this food and eat sugar and pie and more food, and not feel guilty about it, because I know on Monday that I'll be going to the gym again and running it all off(: It's been a good weekend!

In other news, I've officially started applying for college. Haha. Sounds and feels like I'm a senior in high school all over again. However, when I was a senior, I applied for EAC and that was it. That's where I was going and that's where I've been.(and really need to leave soon(:) But my 4 schools, [possibly there may be a 5th in the works], are BYU-Idaho, Northern Arizona University, Utah State University, and Utah Valley University. My 5th one might be University of Utah or possibly even ASU.

Not sure. But, applications are nearly done. Just a few things left such as sending transcripts and then of course i'll be signing up for music school/scholarship auditions at the majority of the schools. It's really crazy. I'm kinda worried at whether I'll get in or not, or what's going to happen. But i finally realized that all I need to do right now is just apply and see what happens. If something else comes along, and changes my plans, or another option comes up, I'll deal with it when it comes! dot dot dot... Story of my life.

So, the real meaning behind my title. As it gets to the end of the semester, I've realized that it is the point of no return. So I realize that the song is about the passion of the Phantom of the Opera for Christine, but I've learned that words can have more than one meaning. In the song it says,
You have come here

in pursuit of your deepest urge

in pursuit of that wish.....

Past the point of No Return
No backward glances
Past all thought of "if" or "when"...
abandon thought, and let the dream descend...
Past the point of No Return
the final threshold-what warm
unspoken secrets will we learn?...
I have come here
hardly knowing the reason why...

Past the point of no return...
the bridge is crossed, so stand and watch it burn

We've passed the Point of No Return

Extremely beautiful words. And have a lot to do with my life I gotta say. To put it deeply, i'm finding that it is time to let my dreams descend, with no backward glances. I'm sure there are unspoken secrets that I will learn. I am learning the reasons why I came to EA. And I'll keep going until I leave here, because it is passed the point of NO return. The past is in the past and the future is full of so much for me. I may not know what it holds, but God does and he knows what direction to put me in or help me decide. I feel so inadequate most of the time, but when I pray, I know he has so much mercy still and knows that i'm at least trying.

Well that's my schpill for this blog(:

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and always remember the things you have to be greatful for. Whether it's a lot of not. Take advantage of each day and live it to the fullest, being greatful for what you have in your life.

Have a great week!
