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.

What Are You Scared of Today?

FACT: This is exponentially harder than it sounds. _________________________________________________________________________________ I was scrolling through Facebook last week and I came across an article that caught my attention. Being on a "quest to read more" I clicked on the article and started to read a column written by a young lady regarding mental health, her experience, and what she longs to say to those 'dear friends' around her who are also struggling. It was a great read and I am glad that I took the time to read it, however there is one question that has stuck in the back of my mind: "What are you scared of today?" As I have continu...

Just A Friendly Reminder:)

It's nothing new. We've all heard it before. "You cant judge a book by its cover" and "be careful what you say, everyone is fighting their own battles, and we don't know what others are facing..." and many more quotes and saying that tell us that everyone is going through something and we don't know, so we cant judge, we cant take offense, because we don't know what they may be going through. And what may be easy to you may be a challenge for them and vice versa so we cannot look down on anyone for what they are going through. Now this makes perfect sense to me because I know I certainly have trials and I have met some people in my life that have had their fair share of struggles. It's just something that I have always understood, however sometimes it isn't always the first thing on my mind, and because of that, I got my reminder this week. I have been feeling really upset about the way someone very very important to me has been ignoring...
