Who are You?

" Don't be satisfied with stories, how things have gone with others. Unfold your own myth." -Rumi
You will never figure out who you are if you are completely content believing everything everyone else has told you about life. You don't have to take everyone else's word for it. Live your own life, figure out what life means to you. Because other peoples definitions and stories are not enough for you to live life off of.
Find your own beauty and your own inspiration, don't let others expectations and doubts limit your view of your life. Unfold life yourself.
If you don't live your own experience in life you will never fully figure out who you are. This life is like a mystery for each of us to unfold, and we all have a different story with a different mystery to figure out.
For a long time I haven't been sure of who I am, I felt like a lost child in a dark night. No matter where I looked I couldn't seem to find a clue of where to go, or who to be. In the last year or so I became so worn out by trying to make people love me, and trying to please people that I had nothing left to give. I came to the conclusion that I did not love myself, so I couldn't expect someone else to love. I did not know who I was, and no one else could show me. I needed to figure it out for myself, almost immediately I realized as I came to find myself I felt more embraced by the people around me. As I came to accept myself others did as well.
Other people will come and go in your life, but you... well, you are not going anywhere. Each of us are given the gift of living with our conscience, our choices, our heart, and our mind for our entire life. You might as well learn to love yourself, and create yourself into whatever you have ever wanted to be. Unfold yourself, find yourself, create yourself and most of all love yourself.
Who you are now doesn't really matter, because you can change, you can create yourself into anything you want to be. Don't have reservations, feel free to set yourself free.
Who are you? It changes everyday some good and some bad. But when we realize that we have power over some of the changes in our lives we empower change for good. The changes in our lives that we have no power over, well we do have power over how we respond, and that is all the power we need.
So go for it, find out who you are, master it, and make your life a masterpiece.

The Shame Game

     Exactly 450 days ago I got married, the day that everyone says is the happiest day of your life. I was happy, incredibly happy. But happiness is a strange and interesting emotion, it's not like instant gratification or even like the anticipation of a surprise, it's soft and quiet. Happiness comes through the application of true principles in life sometimes the result is so subtle that you will completely miss the happiness if you don't know that it is real and existing right in front of you. Happiness is like a habit and if you stop nourishing it, it will fade and completely disappear, most of the time we don't notice the absence of light and happiness until it is so drastic that it would take a great change of action to restore it.     On January 24th my husband moved out after almost 13 months of marriage. I had always known marriage would be hard and that it took effort and change to make it work, I saw my older siblings in their marriages and I knew w...

Starting somewhere

    I miss writing. I miss the way it sooths my soul, the way it empowers me to look at the details of my life in a positive light. There has been so much going on in my life lately that writing basically got buried in a corner forgotten.      Some of it might be due to the fact that havent felt very positively about my life lately. But I miss the feeling of being in-love with life, I miss feeling alive. Somewhere inside of myself I know that if I want to feel those things again I need to find the courage to pull out the things I love and dust them off. At first it might not be very pretty, like a painter that is out of practice there are bound to be some duds before there are masterpieces.     Here I am making it full circle with a goal that is the very reason I started this blog, I want to start writing everyday. Writing things that I hope can help and inspire others and maybe in the writings of my soul I will be able to refind myself.   ...

Make A Promise

When I was in high school, me and my group of friends used to look for any and every reason to make a wish on something, whether it was the typical shooting star, repeating numbers on a digital clock such as 11:11 or 10:10, the chain clasp on our necklaces slipping to the front, and all sorts of other random things. I think it's something that's easy to pick up on with all the Disney and chic-flic type movies that young girls see growing up. From Pinocchio, to Cinderella, to Freaky Friday, to the classic The Wizard of Oz there are a lot of films that have story lines built on wishes, and wishes coming true. Lets face it we all have wishes deep in our heart, or worn on our sleeves with the rest of our heart. Some of them are hidden so deep we sometimes don't even let ourselves think about them, and some of them shine in our eyes so obviously that anyone with any degree of insight will see them. Everyone has something that their heart aches at least a little ove...
