Life is going quite wonderfully at the moment. I've never had this little stress in my life, there aren't any reminders of bad things that happened in the past, I really don't do much of anything as far as school goes...I'm happy. With this happiness though, apparently, comes the consequence of not being able to write good music. I don't know if any other musician has ever experienced this, but I can't seem to write anything good when I'm happy, lol. I'm baffled actually! Because of this I'm slightly depressed that I can't write a good song at the moment, lol...yeah, it's pretty weird. Oh well, I only have 7 weeks left, so soon I will be back in the stressful, do-everything-as-fast-as-possible world of the U.S. I'm sure I'll have plenty to write about. :-)
Seriously, though, I'm amazed at how nice things have been since I've been down here. In the States I used to cry at least twice a month over who knows what(I can't really remember), but the only times I cry here are when I'm homesick, and it's been a month or so since I've been really homesick. I'm ready to come home so I can get on with the rest of my life, but at the same time, I'm afraid that I'm going to lose this carefree attitude that I've developed as soon as I get back. I'm going to try to stay the way I am now when I return. So, if some of you notice that I really just don't care about certain things that are important to many people that live in the U.S., such as being early for everything, I apologize in advance, lol. Apparently that's what it takes for me to chill...I just can't worry about trying to please everyone. I have to do what makes me happy because if I can't make myself happy then everyone around won't want to stay around me. Happiness is infectious, kind of like a drug. Everyone should take a lesson from the Costa Ricans on this issue. The Costa Rican mottos are "Pura vida" and "Tranquilo," both of which basically just mean, "chill out", "don't worry, be happy." This is all that matters in life. Nothing is worth stressing over too much. I hope I can keep this attitude when I get back. Everything is so much simpler this way...
Paz,
Amelia

It sounds nice. Peace is a wonderful and rare thing theses days. Of course along with the stress in these USA come a lot of benefits. While on Guam I had to adapt to Guam time. That meant don't get in a hurry since nothing works right anyway.
looking forward to seeing you.
I'm trying my best to bring that little bit of relaxation into my life now. It's good advice. Thanks, Amelia.
Here's to a little Costa Rica in Tennessee this summer.
