walk on.


You have the choice to live life they way you want.
or walk away from it all.
I have a dear friend that recently moved to new york. no job. not knowing what to expect.
not even knowing if it will work out in the end.
but she went for it.
packed her stuff up and left;
because that is what she wanted.
Obviously at this point in my life. i can't pack up and travel the world.
but her brave step forward in life affected me..
and made me want to follow my dreams that much more.
so i thank her.
for inspiring me to walk on.

discovering your "me-ish-ness"

I'm finding it less and less appealing to be around people just for the sake of being around people. I truly love spending time with myself and just being. Although I feel like I may be turning into somewhat recluse it feels so right. Actually, I think it's exactly what i need right now. Yes, having and spending time with friends and acquaintances is great and all but I think i'm really passing that period of my life where I crave constant external stimulation. Time to seriously take a seat in my soul and turn within for longer periods of time.

Determination

your almost craving your destination, you feel like your heart is going to come out of your chest its beating so hard, and your feeling that even if you had a chance to take in all the oxygen in the world it wouldn't satisfy your need for it at this moment, legs are starting to loose feeling but ache at the same time and you even consider if this is possible, your feet hit the cold wet earth at a constant beat you want to stop but almost feel like your legs have taken control and just keep hitting the ground over and over again, you finally have spotted the goal you have set up for yourself, foot by foot you get closer now your there, but then suddenly you have this drive to go on past into the unfamiliar, you dont know why you feel this way but you all the sudden tune everything out you go above the pain above your lungs collapsing and push forward, when you finally realize you can do this, you know you have your own individual determination.

letting go.

Participated in a full moon ceremony last night.
it made such an amazing impact.
We wrote on a paper what we wanted to let go of,
those that wanted to went around the circle and read theirs,
those that didn't just threw it into the fire.
i wanted to let go of feeling the pressure of others to feel like i have to be someone else to fit in.
I want to let go of feeling like i have to be fake.
i am me. and that is who i am suppose to be.
and i threw it in the fire.
Then we learned about how saying "i am..." is saying "God in me is..." and by thinking this you will rid of negative thoughts.
you wouldn't want to say "I am the fattest, ugliest (teen girl things)" because thats not what you are.. and thats not what God is. Whether you believe in a God, or not a higher power is in you.. or you connect with and that is not what describes them.
Rather say "i feel..."
i found that it really does make a difference.
we spent the rest of the night chanting, and dancing, and i felt
FREE.
If you ever have a chance to participate in one, do!
it is life changing.
