Sage At The Inauguration

Love it or hate it, I was like a school girl at a Jonas Brothers concert for pretty much the entire election cycle this past year.

I was a huge Obama supporter from the beginning. It wasn’t so much that I was against all the other people, as it was I was SO for Obama.

I simply love him. I think the reason is because I see (or want to see) a lot of myself in him. He grew up in a single parent home. He writes that he was more effected by his father’s absence than his presence. He’s charismatic. He’s a big thinker. He’s a visionary.

I just want to be Barack Obama when I grow up.

So anyway, I got the chance to go to the Inauguration. It was a lucky turn of events. My mom happens to have friends in Bethesda Maryland. And they happened to be willing to house us during the festivities.

I have never had an experience quite like that experience. I don’t think I could really do it justice by trying to truly encapsulate it in words.

Everything about it was big… his vision, the event, the crowd. It was bigger than anything I had ever experienced.

I feel like the experience changed me in a way.

Do you know how your brain feels when it learns something new? Like learning to play a musical instrument or learning a new language? You know how you can actually feel your brain working in ways it never worked before?

That’s how the event felt.

I felt like my mind was stretched. After the inauguration I felt like I was able to see things bigger… like I expanded my mind.

At any rate, I thought I’d share.
