fault of my own. Yet‚ despite all this‚ I was happy at the change of pace. I think it must have been being poor that has made me love philosophy because I can more easily see how all of our lives are so short that it becomes absurd to care about many material things. I suppose that my love for thinking about living and how to act merited me to become a Telluride Association Summer Program finalist among the hundreds that have applied and had made me want to attend the program so badly.

During the summer of 2015‚ my family and I were in the astonishing field of Xel-Ha Park‚ which is located in Cancun‚ Mexico. It was peaceful and stunning.

My Heaven on Earth Chapter 1 Life in the Norm It was an average day in suburban Denver‚ Colorado. Everything was peaceful. The day went as smooth as butter. I walked out of the office from a hard and exhausting day at work. I sold three houses‚ did six 100-page reports‚ and sucked up to the boss for that little bit extra in my pay check.
