Trying Something New

There is just something therapeutic about writing down your thoughts and feelings. And it doesn't even matter if anyone else reads them, that's not what is important, although I often think about what it would be like to have my words mean something to someone else, to last the tests of times and affect, encourage, and strengthen generations to come. But the simple act of writing them down so that you have them in front of your face and you can read them back over and over again is special to say the least. It immortalizes the joyous feelings and heals the hurt, allowing you to look back at your growth and smile. And so that is exactly what this is. It is me writing down my random thoughts and feelings. It's me sharing my adventures and struggles and triumphs. And it is me figuring out who I am and how to be just that in this crazy world. It is me trying something new. Well I simply adore quotes and song lyrics and how they always seem to say what I want to in ways I never could, and so I will leave with a quote from one of my very best friends...she said to "Treat every day like the start of a new year. Consistently turn your judging eye away from those around you and look deep within yourself. Are you living up to your potential? Every waking moment is a time that could be used to grow and become what you want. Don't waste it." and this is exactly what I plan to do.

I Know I Have Dreams

It's been a while since I have written anything on here. And I know it's been a while. I know that the last few weeks have been crazy, and that that is part of it. But I also know that I have sat down to write here more times than I would care to admit. I know that I have a million thoughts running around in my head. I know that I want to figure out how to let the words out and have them make sense. I know I have all these ideas about what I want to do with my life, what I want to accomplish, and who I want to become, and yet I lack the knowledge of how to get there. I know I have dreams. I know I want to be somebody that people can look up too someday. I know what I love. I know I have to make choices. I know that I ramble. A lot. I know a lot of things. Maybe I will talk about everything. Maybe I will save a post or two for another day. I know that this post is going to be long.  I know that this post may be very varied when it comes to topics. I know that n...

How True This Is

I Resolve To Continue

This is the time of year when we evaluate our lives. We look at the last 364 days and ponder on our struggles and our triumphs. We look at the person we have become over the last 12 months and we plan to do better in the coming 12. This is the time of year we are dedicated to making a change, and as I sit here thinking back to this time exactly 365 days ago, I am astounded at how far I have come. Almost ashamed of the person I was then and truly proud of the person I am now. For one of the first times in my life I can say that I can see myself becoming the person I want to become. In the last year I have felt sorrow and defeat and loneliness. I have faced struggles and heartache and frustrations. But I have also felt peace. I have felt joy and happiness and love. I set goals and I achieved them. I have had experiences that have taught me so many valuable lessons, and I have met people who have changed me forever. And I am so grateful. And so as we finish out this awfully beautiful year...
