Run Away from Home!



I am living at a mountain for the winter and I love it. It has opened my mind and made me really think about things differently. As sad as it sounds, this is the farthest that I have lived away from my family and friends ever, and it's only 2 hours away.

Living up here in the serene beauty of nature has really had a possitive effect on my life. I have quit smoking cigarettes, I am living a very active life as far as excersise and physical activity go, I am a vegetarian, and most of all, i am really getting to know myself and am becoming more and more self aware and able to read my body.

Living where I did, in Bremerton(or Bummertown as i affectionaltly call it), I was a product of my enviroment. Living in a poor, run down sorry excuse for a town made me fell like a run down sorry excuse for a human being. I was overweight, unhealthy and could see myself slowly but surely slipping into the monotany of the enviroment I was being exposed to.

I had to get away. I found a wonderful job oppritunity through craigslist.com for seasonal work at Crystal Mountain Ski Resort, and let me tell you, getting away from Bremerton was the best thing I have ever done for myself. Things that were always such a hurdle for me to overcome before(ie: quitting smoking, over eating, and getting physical) have been so easy and rewarding to accomplish.

I have written this blog for anyone who is stuck in the negativity around them, and just want to break free! Do it! Do it now! Run away from home, it is the best thing i ever did!
