The Fault In Our Stars .

  This week I got to tick off a very big event from my bucket list.  I got to meet a dynamics duo who for the last 6 years has played a great role in my weekly life .  John and Hank Green are the Vlogbrothers, a youtube sensation that decided years ago to make being a "nerd" eg. being interesting in intelligent things like reading, history and science something that is fantastic and not something to be afraid of showing . 7million youtube viewers later I think it is safe to say they have accomplished this. John is also a writer, his novels are works of beauty- some subject matters sometimes hard to approach but his writing is transforming and has changed the way I look at many things. Together that have started many charities , raised awareness and funds for much needed causes and been all around great people in this world. 
This week I got to meet these two men , something I never thought I would get to do. I got to Listen to my favourite author talk about what inspires him to write his novels and I also got to listen to his brother Hank sing songs about his brothers books and science and I got my books signed by both Hank and John . This may not sound too exciting to some, but to me it was awesome . Some have said that meeting your hero's may not be a good idea because they might not meet expectation - but I can safely say that my expectations were met and then some. 

This bucket list event has been my first big exciting thing of 2013 , and I can say that it was phenomenal to experience . I am also aware that we are but 41 days into a new year, so there are many more fantastic events to come this year - I am determined that this year shall be a beautiful year, full of adventures and excitement . Many things change in a year , things happen , events take place and life continues to move. Considering this time last year I was about to receive heartbreaking news I can say that much has changed in a year- hearts break but they can also be mended again .  This time last year things were very different, exams were approaching , stress was high, worries were even higher. It was very hard to imagine being where I am now , sitting in front of my fire at home after a week at college  , thinking about the events of the past week and excited for what God has in store for me in the future .... How exciting is it to have my future in the hands of my savior , My God is an AWESOME  God. 

I had many ideas in my head of what to write about in this blog post, but when I sat down to do so it didn't come out in anyway I had planned ... but hey maybe that is okay? ( even though much of the above does not make sense ). But maybe it's ok to go against what you have planned in your mind,. Sometimes maybe it is just okay to go with whatever you are feeling at the time. 

So far in 2013 I have ticked something very significant from my Bucket list , I plan to tick many many more off the list throughout the year. I plan to make all five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes of this year worth it , every minute counts :) .
