In the Mystories I have written I have not necessarily
talked about this, but this theme has been reoccurring the past few months in
my life and I believe that it is my “North Star”. In the past few months as I
started college I have noticed that many people my age tend to complain about
everything, from waking up early, having homework, or having nothing to do on a
Friday night. I am not saying I don’t complain, I do everyone does it is human
nature. But lately I have been in situations where most people would have
gotten discouraged and just given up. Instead of looking at all the negative
aspects and focusing on that negative situation I feel like I have done a great
job at seeing the positive thing and looking past the surface. I was running on
a trail near Lake Texoma recently, and came upon a lookout point where you
could just see for miles across the lake. It was a beautiful sight, looking at
this made me realize that in a world so big, filled with so many different
people, I’m not so significant and my problems aren’t either. Also a feeling of
amazement went through me and helped me to realize that where ever you are
peace can be found. Everywhere I go I try to look past the surface and see what’s
on the inside. I do this because in a way I’m afraid I will miss out on one
small detail, even though that detail was small and seemed insignificant it wasn’t.
Nothing you do is insignificant. I have seen in movies where people travel back
in time and accidently kill a butterfly, and by just doing that change the
future dramatically. I think that has truth to it, one small thing that you do
can have a big impact on your future. If I had a wide site image it would have
to be an image of the fine print, which is barely visible on a document. Many
people choose to ignore the small details, but that is where the most important
information is. If I were asked to give advice to someone I would tell them to
appreciate all the little things in life, because I think that is the most
important thing and will in turn lead you to a true discovering of who you are.Wednesday, October 29, 2014

There is much wisdom imparted here, Casey. Reading the fine print is what all of us should try to do, and, for many reasons, as you grow older it becomes literally and figuratively harder to do. I have enjoyed reading each of your thoughtful mystories--words and images. Thank you for taking the time to think these through.
