The Spark

It starts here.  A shared bedroom in Provo.  No air conditioner.  No school.  A life draining job.  No sleep.  Nothing to do. 

I don't think I've ever been so close to loosing my mind before.  I mean I have a great life, but lack of sleep and stress can do things to your brain and my brain had definitely seen better days.  I was trying to take it easy on myself to just figure some things out, and in all truth things were looking up for me.  School had ended, I had great friends, I was getting enough sleep... but it definitely wasn't the peak of my existence that's for sure. 

I suppose you come to a certain point where something has to spark.  I was there.  I wanted to wake up again, to have energy, to feel like there was something in this world that I could do, to make history, or to just simply feel like myself again. 

There were several sparks that went off in my life around that time, but this particular one was a long summer's day, a voice, and a cup. 

So that's it, that's how it started.  Now it's my summer job.  My cup and I will be busking on the streets of Italy till it's time for me to head back to the states.  Stick around for the adventures to come :)
